English Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased\
is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by play\
ing 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 ada\
pts 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 adapt\
s.
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 los\
s in the future. After
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
