    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:
    ≥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.
