Listening caution

EST. 1924
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.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
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:
• 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.
