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.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
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:
e Start your volume control at a low setting.
e Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
e 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.
lf you make a mistake in operation or if sound output stops due to
some operation which was performed, the HELP function displays
information which can be useful for indicating the method by which
this condition can be remedied.
If “ERROR?” or scrolling characters (for instance, “SPEAKER OFF
NOW”) appear on the display during operation, carry out the
following operation.
Press [-HELP, -RESET].
The method for remedying this situation will be displayed.
For your reference
If the above button is pressed for 2 seconds or more until “RESET”
appears on the display, the operation settings for the unit will be
initialized to the settings made at the time of shipment.
However, any stations which have been preset into memory will not
be erased at this time.
