■ Vo l u m e
●Adjust the volume when you connect the headphones to the jack. Loud
sounds may have a significant impact on the human body.
● Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assum-
ing that the conversations represent the maximum volume level that the
DVD will play, you may be startled by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source. Be sure to adjust the volume with this
in mind.
