'Want You
Yard Lice ———
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 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.
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.
MAINTENANCE
OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
e@Usea polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
eWhen the surfaces are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped
in some
neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with
water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry
cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
e Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other
chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the
surfaces.
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
