c) provide a means to actively inform the user of the
ncreased sound pressure when the equipment is
operated with an acoustic output exceeding
those mentioned above. Any means used shall
be acknowledged by the user before activating a
mode of operation which allows for an acoustic
output exceeding those mentioned above. The
acknowledgement does not need to be repeated
more than once every 20 h of cumulative
listening time; and

For example, if the player is set with the programme simulation
noise to 85 dBA, but the average music level of the song is only
65 dBA, there is no need to give a warning or ask an
acknowledgement as long as the average sound level of the
song is not above the basic limit of 85 dBA.
