DEAR CUSTOMER
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've 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 t h e E l e c tr o n i c 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 "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 l e v e l :
• 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 l e v e l : 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.

Listening For a Li f e t i m e
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 prolonged exposure to
excessive
noise.
