DEAR JENSEN CUSTOMER
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical
enjoyment. Now it's t ime to consider how you can maxim ize 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 equipmen t by playing it at a safe level. O ne that lets the s ound come through loud and clear
without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be decei ving. Over tim e your hearing "comfort le vel" adapts to higher volum es 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 no w will help to pr eve nt hearing d am age or loss in the futur e. After all, we want you
listening 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 and the Electronic
Industries Associati on's Consumer Electronics Group r ecommend you
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this pr oduct is found on its bottom . You should note the ser ial number of this unit in the
space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.
