This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving when you
operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material specially
formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil
based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to
soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture.
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small
self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers
everywhere and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you place the product
on fine wooden furniture.

DEAR STUDEBAKER ® CUSTOMER
Model Number: SB2149 Serial Number:
CONTENTS OF YOUR PRODUCT
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.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its back cover. You should note the serial number of
this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the
event of theft of loss.
