Dear customer,
Selecting fine audio equipment, such as the unit you have just purchased, is only the beginning of your
musical enjoyment. Now is the time to consider how to maximize the fun and excitement your equipment
has to offer.
AUTOTEK and the Electronic Industry Associations Consumer Electronic Group want you to get the most
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level, a level that lets the sound come through loud and clear
without annoying blaring distortion; most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound, what
may have sounded "normal" can actually be too 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 you 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" make a not of this position and do not go above
this setting.
Taking a minute to do this will help to prevent hearing damage in the future. After all, we want you
listening for a lifetime.
