Yamaha 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.

Since hearing damage from loud sounds is often 
undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha and the 
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer 
Electronics Group recommend you to avoid 
prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.
