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 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 plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Information to User

Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment.

About this manual

This unit features a number of sophisticated functions ensuring superior reception and operation. All the functions have been designed for the easiest possible use, but many are not selfexplanatory. This operation manual will help you benefit fully from this unit’s potential and to maximize your listening enjoyment.

It is especially important that you read and observe precautions on this page and in other sections. This manual mainly explains remote control operation. However, in addition to those functions related with DVD/video CD/CD operation that can only be operated by the remote control, there are also functions that can be operated similarly by the head unit and functions that can only be operated by the buttons provided for the head unit.

To ensure safe driving

WARNING

• To avoid the risk of accident and the potential violation of applicable laws, this product is not for use with a video screen that is visible to the driver.

• In some countries or states the viewing of images on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.

Disc organization

DVD

On DVD-Video discs, the contents are divided into titles which are in turn divided into chapters. With video material, a single work (movie etc.) usually corresponds to a single title, with different scenes corresponding to separate chapters. With karaoke discs, one song corresponds to one title. However, some discs are not organized like this, so bear this in mind when using the search function.

Video CD and CD

On CDs and Video CDs, the contents are divided into tracks. One track usually corresponds to one song. On some discs, tracks may also feature an index. With Video CDs featuring PBC (Playback Control), you can use a menu to perform playback operations. It may not be possible to use functions such as repeat and search.
