We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
IJSTENING

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun
and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetect-
able until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro-
longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included
for your protection.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased Decibel
is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider Level
how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.
This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer 30
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by 40
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and 50
clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, with- 60
70
out affecting your sensitive hearing. 80
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 untilyou 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.
