Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits  
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference  
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-  
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance  
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-  
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-  
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Dear Customer:  
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 excite-  
ment 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 elvel 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 distor-  
tion.  
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. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
