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.
