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.

MAINTENANCE
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust
and dirt.
• When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft
cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or
six times with water, and wrung out well, and then
wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax
or cleaners.
• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and
other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will
corrode the surfaces.
ENTRETIEN DES SURFACES
EXTERIEURES
• Se servir d’un linge à polir ou d’un chiffon sec pour
enlever la poussière ou les souillures.
• Si les surfaces sont très sales, les frotter avec un linge
doux trempé dans un détergent neutre, dilué dans
cinq ou six fois son volume d’eau, puis essuyer
convenablement les surfaces. Ne pas utiliser de cire
ou de produit pour meubles.
• Ne jamais utiliser de diluant pour peinture, de ben-
zine ou d’insecticide en atomiseur sur ou à proximité
de l’appareil, car ses surfaces en seraient
endommagées.
