-Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce
sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for
exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may be
experiencing some hearing loss. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound, so after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud
and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level.
-Loudspeakers : Before making any connections to loudspeakers, make sure all power is
turned off and only use suitable interconnects.
-Only use attachments/accessories specified and supplied by the manufacturer.
