Universal XM satellite digital tuner system

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.
