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.
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 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.
