Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-
ation'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 recommendyou to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"
adapts to highervolumesof sound.So what sounds"normal" can
actuallybe loudandharmfulto yourhearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE yourheadng adapts.
To establish a safe level:
=Startyourvolumecontrolat a lowsetting.
eSIowly increasethe sound until you can hear it comfortablyand
clearly,andwithoutdistortion.
Once you haveestablished a comfortable soundlevel:
eSet the dialand leave it there.
Taking a minute to de this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
