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.

Avoid installing the deck next to kitchen counters or other locations subject to oily smoke or humidity. 7 If the deck is placed directly on top of an amplifier, it may pick up humming or other noise. Also, if the amplifier generates a large amount of heat, the deck may malfunction. 7 If the deck is located near a television set, it may pick up inter ference noise, which will be recorded as a whistling sound on the tape. If this happens, move the deck further away from the television set or turn the television set off when operating the deck. 7 Do not place a cloth over the deck, or block the ventilation slots in any way. The ventilation slots on this deck are necessary to keep internal parts cool. If they are blocked, the deck may malfunction.
