Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you
have just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoy-
ment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the
fun and excitement your equipment offers. This
Manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out
of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.One that lets
the sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting
your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “com-
fort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what's
sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
- Start your volume control at a low setting.
- Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
- Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you
listening for a lifetime.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a
lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from
loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, This
Manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro-
longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound lev-
els is included for your protection.
