Listening caution
EST. 1924 
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.
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:
•  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.
