Listening caution
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.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
Sound
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.

Placement of speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel
orientation is necessary.
Note
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32") away from the system for
•
proper ventilation.
These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place
•
them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily
influenced by magnetism.
•
To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones if
you have taken the nets off.
•
You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if
you play
sound at high levels over extended periods.
•
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
− When playing distorted sound.
− When adjusting the sound quality.
− When turning the unit on or off.
Use only the supplied speakers.
