Dear Customer:  
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.  
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.
