Dear Customer:Selecting fine audio and video equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased isonly the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you canmaximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and theElectronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get themost out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound comethrough loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion, and most importantly,without affecting your sensitive hearing.Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to highervolumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to yourhearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE yourhearing 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 withoutdistortion.

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.

We Want You Listening For A LifetimeUsed 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, thismanufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Grouprecommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levelsis included for your protection.
