Dear Customer:

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

CONVERTING AN AUDIO CD INTO MP3 OR WMA FORMAT

For Windows XP, you can also utilize the previously installed Windows Media Player 11 software to convert music on an audio CD into MP3 or WMA format as follows:

1. Open the Windows Media Player 11 Browser, then click on the “Rip” icon on the top tool bar. Insert a Music CD into the CD-Rom drive of your computer.

2. Check that you are connected to the Internet and then start Windows Media Player (WMP) When you are connected to the Internet, WMP attempts to retrieve media information such as the album and artist name about the tracks being ripped from a Windows Media database that is maintained by Microsoft. WMP then adds the information to the files during ripping. If media information is incorrect or missing, you can add or edit it after ripping. For information about adding or editing media information, see Windows Media Player Help on the WMP web page.

3. (Optional) To select a different format or bit rate for the files that are created during ripping, click the arrow below the Rip tab, as shown in the following screen shot, and then make your selections from the Format and Bit Rate commands.

4. (Optional) You can also change the default settings later on the Rip Music tab of the Options dialog box, which is accessible by clicking the arrow below the Rip tab, and then clicking More Options, as shown.

5. Insert an audio CD into the CD drive, and then click the Rip tab, as shown. By default, WMP begins ripping the CD automatically when you are in the Rip tab or when you first switch to it after the CD was inserted. You can also choose to have ripping begin immediately upon inserting the CD, or you can turn off automatic ripping from the Rip Music tab of the Options dialog box. Note that all songs are selected to be ripped if you have not previously ripped them.

6. (Optional) As WMP begins to rip the CD, clear the check boxes next to any songs that you do not want to rip. Or, you can temporarily stop the rip process to make your selections. To do this, at the bottom of the List pane, click Stop Rip Screen. (Partially ripped songs are not saved.) Select the songs you want to rip, and then, at the bottom of the List pane, click Start Rip button to restart ripping.

7. Sync the files as shown on the next page.

8. When the files are finished loading into the unit, you can follow the “Safely Removing Hardware” procedure as shown on page 23.

NOTE: For more details, please see Microsoft’s help web page for WMP11 as follows: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/faq/default.mspx
