Dear JENSEN Customer
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. 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.
Take 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.
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and
enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its bottom. You should note the serial number of this unit in the space
provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.
Model Number: JTA-222 Serial Number: ____________________
PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving when you operate the
controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or
stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays
may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage
to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before
you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
