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 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. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

Dolby Headphone

This system incorporates Dolby Headphone technology. Dolby Headphone allows you to enjoy multichannel surround sound effects with two-channel stereo headphones. Dolby Headphone works with both multichannel sources, such as Dolby Digital and DTS DVDs, and stereo sources. Surround sound from stereo sources is achieved using Dolby Pro Logic II decoding.

About Dolby Headphone effects

Music and movie soundtracks through headphones can sound rather unnatural. This is because they are mixed and produced to be listened to through speakers some distance in front of you (or around you in the case of multichannel sources).

Dolby Headphone recreates the sound of speakers in a room, thereby making the sound through headphones more natural for the listener.

You can choose between three room types:

DH1: Mixing room with very little reverberation.

DH2: Ordinary listening room with moderate reverberation (default setting).

Dolby Pro Logic II is a decoding technology for playing two-channel sources in 5.1 channel surround. Like Dolby Digital, the main five channels are full bandwidth. Dolby Pro Logic II decoding has minimal impact on sound quality and creates a very natural surround sound effect.

Dolby Pro Logic II surround effects AUTO (default setting)

This mode automatically selects the

MOVIE or MUSIC mode according to the input source.

MOVIE mode is selected when playing DVDs (digital or analog input).

MUSIC mode is selected when playing CDs (digital input).

MOVIE

This mode is suitable for stereo TV programs and sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The effect is close in quality to discrete 5.1 channel surround.

MUSIC

This mode is suitable for all music sources and reproduces the sound field of a listening room with good acoustic characteristics.

Listening with additional headphones

Connect your wired headphones to the PHONES jack to enjoy the surround sound experience.

Note

- When unplugging headphones from the PHONES jack, pull out the plug holding the plug body. Never pull on the cable.
