Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing "comfort level"adapts to higher and higher
volumes; what sounds "normal"may be dangerously loud.
TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL: Start the volume control at alow setting. Slowly increase the
volume until you can hear comfortably, without distortion, and still be aware of your surroundings.
ONCE YOU ESTABLISH A COMFORTABLE SOUND LEVEL:
Leave the volume at that level; do not increase it over time.
Pioneer and the Consumer Electronics Association recommend that you avoid prolonged
exposure
to excessive noise. Sustained sound levels above 85 decibels can be dangerous without

hearing protection. (For reference, agarbage disposal or loud shouting at 3feet are about 80
decibels; afood blender
or gas lawn blower at 3feet are around 90 decibels.)
Pioneer disclaims all liabilityfor hearing
loss, bodily injury, or property damage as aresult of
use or misuse of this product.
