Listening caution

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 the Electronic 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.

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.
