Dear Customer:
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

Toestablish a safee 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.
We Want You Listening For A Life time
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of un and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electranics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
