Using External Audio Equipment
•When listening with headphones, make sure the volume is not too high. You can damage your hearing when listen-
ing to sounds at high volume over an extended period of time.
•Don’t set the volume too high from the outset.  A sudden loud sound may cause damage to your headphones or 
your hearing. As a precaution, lower the volume before you switch the power off then raise it gradually after you 
switch it back on.
Once you have connected your headphones to the headphone jack, sound does not come from the speakers. If MovieMate
is connected to a sub-woofer, sound also stops coming from the sub-woofer.
