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.

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

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.

sound. To answer some of the questions

about digital audio formats you may need to

look at the instructions that came with your

AV receiver.

Note that the language you choose here

may not be available on all discs.

If you want to select a language other

than those listed, select Other Lan-

guage. See Selecting languages using

the language code list on page 57 for

detailed information.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is

brought into a warm room from outside, or if

the temperature of the room rises quickly.

Although the condensation won’t damage the

player, it may temporarily impair its perform-

ance. For this reason you should leave it to

adjust to the warmer temperature for about an

hour before switching on and using.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press

come, so please bear in mind the following

points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Power cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not

pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never
