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.

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.

For A Lifetime

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

Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive 
noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
