DEAR CUSTOMER:
Thank you for purchase and confidence in our all kinds of audio-visual products. Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you have just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it is time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. We hope 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 blare or distortion, and, more important, 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 we want you listening for a lifetime.
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.

All are designed for the easiest possible use, but many are not self-explanatory.
