TAD Reference One Owner’s Manual
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 found a comfortable sound level:
· Set the volume control and leave it there.
