We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you have just purchased is only the start
of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This Manufacturer and the Electronic Industries As-
sociation’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 with-
out annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing. 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 hear-
ing 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 Manu-
facturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group rec-
ommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is
included for your protection.
