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 distortiorv--and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive heating.
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 u 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 establisheda 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.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new soundequipment 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. This
list of sound levels is included for your protection.
