Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions
listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-
ation’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.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what 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.

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.

for long periods of time.
