Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you have 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 deceiv-
ing. 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 com-
fortably 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.
