LISTENING

For A Lifetime

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. 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

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

Location

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will
not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to
direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Exces­sive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal com­ponents. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty envi­ronment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid
installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be ex­posed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previ­ously cold surroundings or when the room temperature
rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit
may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like
this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the
room temperature gradually.

Cleaning the unit

• Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

• When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a
dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

• Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other
chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode
the surfaces.

Emplacement

Installer l'appareil dans un endroit bien ventilé à l'abri
d'une température ou d'une humidité élevée.

Ne pas installer l'appareil dans un endroit qui est exposé
aux rayons directs du soleil, ni prees d'appareils de chauf­fage ou de radiateurs. Une chaleur excessive peut affecter
le coffret et les composants internes. Une installation dans
un environnement humide ou opussiéreux peut provoquer
un fonctionnement défectueux ou un accident. (Eviter éga­lement une installation prés de cuisinières, etc., où le lec­teur peut être exposé à de la fumée graisseuse, de la va­peur ou à la chaleur).

Condensation

Lorsque le lecteur est transporté d'un endroit froid dans
une pièce chaude ou si la température de la pièce augmente
brusquement, de la condensation risque de se former à
l'intérieur du lecteur et il peut ne pas réaliser toutes ses
performances. Dans ce cas, ne pas utiliser l'appareil pen­dant une heure environ ou augmenter progressivement la
température de la pièce.

Entretien des surfaces extérieurs

• Se servie d'un linge à polir or d'un chiffon sec pour enle­ver la poussière ou les souillures.

• Si les surfaces sont très sales, les frotter avec un linge
doux trempé dans un détergent neutre, dilué dans cinq
or six fois son volume d'eau, puis essuyer convenable­ment les surfaces. Ne pas utiliser de cire ou de produit
pour meubles.

• Ne jamais utiliser de diluant pour peinture, de benzine
ou d'insecticide en atomiseur sur or à proximité de l'ap­pareil, car ses surfaces en seraient endommagées.
