User memo:
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:
≥ 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.
