    Listening caution
    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.User memo:

    CAUTION!
    DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A 
    BOOKCASE, BUILT-IN CABINET OR IN ANOTHER 
    CONFINED SPACE. ENSURE THE UNIT IS WELL

    OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING, ENSURE 
    THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS DO NOT 
    OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS.
    CAUTION!
    Do not place anything on top of this unit or block the heat
    radiation vents in any way. In particular, do not place tape
    decks or CD/DVD players on this unit as heat radiated from it
    can damage your software.
