Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement yourequipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s ConsumerElectronics 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 ofsound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard againstthis 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 LifetimeUsed wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Sincehearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and theElectronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolongedexposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.DecibelLevel Example30 Quiet library, soft whispers40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap140 Gunshot blast, jet plane180 Rocket launching padInformation courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.Published by Pioneer Corporation.Copyright © 2003 by Pioneer Corporation.All rights reserved.Publication de Pioneer Corporation.Copyright © 2003 Pioneer Corporation.Tous droits de reproduction et de traductionréservés.Printed in U.S.A.Imprimé aux Etats-Unis
