THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.:
CAUTION:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with 
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 
the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection 
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This 
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 
communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter-
ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip- 
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 
reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and re-
ceiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different 
from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician
for help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
would void the user’s authority to operate this device. 
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera- 
tion is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must 
accept any interference received, including interference that 
may cause undesired operation.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur- 
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-
ation’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. 
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive 
noise. 
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.
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.
