Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you have 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. 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.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun 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
Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for
your protection.
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet
