We Want You Listening For A Lifetime!
Dear Customer:
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 Association's Consumer Elec-
tronics Group want you to get the most out of your equip-
ment 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 sen-
sitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort
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 Man-
ufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Con-
sumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is in-
cluded for your protection.
