Listening Caution

EST. 1924
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:
≥ 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.
