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.
