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.
