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 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.

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.

Customer's Record:

The serial number of this product is found on its bottom cover. You should note
the serial 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.
