LISTENING

For A Lifetime

Want You

Selecting fine audio and video 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.
This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level Example

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

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER
CONSTANT EXPOSURE:

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet engine
180 Rocket launching pad
