IJSTENING

and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetect- able until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries

Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro- longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included

for your protection.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased Decibel

is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider Level how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers.

This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer 30 Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by 40

playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and 50 clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, with- 60

out affecting your sensitive heating. 70

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 ,_o\ume control at alow setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

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 plane

180 Rocket launching pad Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.

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

Example Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office

Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

videodisc). LaserDisc players and discs which bear this symbol and use the

same television system, are mutually compatible.

** A Digital Audio with Multi Audio Disc (CD VIDEO LD) and a CDV

(CD Video CDV) are referred to as CD Video discs. CD Video- discs are recorded with subcodes, which are the non-audio re-

cordings of TOC (Table of Contents) data such as track num- bers, index numbers, etc. However, there are some discs with-

out these marks.

Storage

After playback, be sure to take out the disc from the player, put the disc in the jacket or case and store it vertically. To prevent the

discs from warping, do not store jackets or cases at an angle or stack them horizontally. Also do not store them in a place subject

to direct sunlight or under high temperature and humidity.

• If a LaserDisc is deformed, place it in the inner bag, put the bag

between two flat boards, place a weight of 4 to 5 kg (10 Ibs) on

LD terms Chapter number

Just like the numbers assigned to chapters of a book, the

LD disc is divided into several chapters and each of them is assigned a chapter number. If the chapter numbers are

recorded on the disc, it is possible to perform operations such as the chapter search which quickly searches the de- sired chapter.

• Some LD discs do not contain recorded chapter num- bers.

Frame number

A frame number is assigned to every frame on a CAV disc.

This makes possible operations such as the frame search

which searches desired images based on their frame num- bers.

Time number

This refers to the elapsed playing time from the beginning of the disc that is recorded on CLV discs as well as on CAV

discs with a TOC*I. This allows operations such as the time number search which searches desired images based

on their time numbers.

CDVICD terms Track number

The CDV or CD disc is divided into several tracks and each of them is assigned a track number. With the CDV disc, the

track numbers are recorded across the audio and video parts. This allows operations such as the track search which quickly searches the desired track.

CD video system

The CD video system is the unified name given to "optical video disc systems with digital audio".

The systems belonging to this category include;

• CDV disc (CD VIDEO, CDV)

• LD with subcode and digital audio

• CD/CDV compatible player

• CD/CDV/LD compatible player
