Dear Customer
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you have 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 sounds and "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.
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.
This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from
traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm
clock at two feet
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE:
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet engine
180 Rocket launching pad
