CONNECT TO YOUR COMPUTER  
e PK-6000 connects to your computer with the included MiniUSB-to-USB cable.  
Because it adheres to computer industry standards for a “USB mass storage device,”  
the PK-6000 connects to both Macintosh computers (OS X 10.1 or newer) and PCs  
(Windows 98 to Windows 7) with no special drivers.  
With its power turned on, connect the PK-6000 to your PC or Macintosh and see it  
mount in My Computer (PC) or on the Desktop (Mac). You can treat it like any other  
external storage device, like a flash drive or hard drive, and add, rename, copy, move and  
delete files.  
You can also use the PK-6000 as a portable flash drive to take any type of computer file  
from your work computer to home, for example.is will work as long as both computers  
have USB ports and you have enough free memory (internally or on an installed  
MicroSD card) on your PK-6000.  
You do not need to store files in special folders or directories, as each function on the PK-  
6000 (Karaoke, Video,Text Reader, etc.) will scan the memory, internally and in the SD  
card slot, for the files that it is capable of playing.

FM Wireless Notes  
e PK-6000 can transmit through an external radio over FM. When the band settings  
of the device and the external radio are synchronized, the transmitted sound will play  
through the radio. (Note: For best results in both sound quality and reception, use quality  
components and set up devices as indicated in Figure B at right.)  
Battery Charging  
You can charge the device by (1) connecting the USB cable to your PC or (2) connecting  
to the AC adapter. During charging, the bars in the battery charge icon will display in  
rolling fashion. When the PK-6000 is fully charged, the screen will display the message,  
“Fully Charged” and the battery icon will display full, stationary bars.  
Important: Rechargeable batteries have limited lives. If your PK-6000 does not fully  
recharge, you should check the battery. For your convenience, you can purchase a second  
original-issue battery from the seller.

bars in the battery icon will decrease over a period of time according to your usage.  
When the battery charge is almost depleted, the middle frame of the battery icon will  
display “blank,” and you should recharge at this time. If the PK-6000 is forced to power  
on in this condition, the screen will display the message “Low Voltage” before the device  
automatically powers off.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)  
1. Why am I not able to record sounds while playing video files in MIDI and AVI  
formats in the Karaoke menu? Files in MIDI and AVI format occupy more resources even  
when sound recording is disabled.  
2. Why do I hear airflow and wind sounds when I’m singing? Please keep your mouth  
at least several inches from the microphone or test the mic at different angles to find the best  
solution.  
3. Why is the volume of the microphone sometimes too low? e volume of the microphone  
is adjustable, so set it according to your own preferences.  
4. Why does the PK-6000 get hot after playing for a while (especially when FM  
transmission is on)? When working at full capacity the unit consumes lots of power. It is  
normal for the player to get hot, like a cell phone that heats up after a long period of use.  
5. Why does the player say that there is “No file” when the memory is full? ere are  
actually too many files on the device when the memory is completely full. e PK-6000 requires  
time and memory space to create its database, so deleting files that are not needed and reserving  
20 MB of free space will help the player run smoothly.  
6. Why does the player copy files (folders) very slowly when several windows are open  
simultaneously, versus quickly when running one window at a time? Most PC normally  
react more slowly when copying files between or among several open windows simultaneously.

erefore, take separate steps to save the music files in one folder and, after that, copy the folder to  
the PK-6000.  
7. Why doesn’t the player start? Please check whether the battery is installed properly and  
whether it is fully charged. You should press and hold the power key for at least five (5) seconds to  
turn on the PK-6000.  
8. Why it is difficult to calibrate the touch screen or enter the Main Interface after  
turning on the player? (a) e stylus doesn’t click the center of the cross; (b) the display area of  
the touch screen may be covered; (c) the touch setting file TOUCH.DAT of another player may be  
copied to this player (delete the TOUCH.DAT from the player when connected via USB to your  
PC); and/or (d) the player may be infected by a virus (terminate the virus, update the program  
then format the player). Please refer to the CD or Acesonic site for updated firmware and files.  
9. Why is the FM transmission function disabled when TV-out function is enabled, and  
TV-out function disabled when FM transmission is enabled? If the TV-out function plus  
FM emission function are activated simultaneously then the battery duration will be negatively  
affected. Follow all instructions in order to conserve battery power and ensure the expected level  
of performance.  
10. Why do certain frequencies work better than others when the FM transmission  
function is enabled? When the transmission function is enabled, the player will detect the FM  
radio environment and the PK-6000 will alert you if interference is detected. By selecting a  
different frequency it will eliminate interference with other electronic devices. On the receiver,

please select a frequency in the 76-87.5 MHz range to avoid interference.  
11. Why does it take the PK-6000 long time to start? It takes a certain amount of time to  
build and load the device’s database. e larger and more numerous the files are, the more time it  
will take to start up the unit.  
12. Why are the MicroSD cards not recognized? e SD cards in the market have differing  
qualities. To avoid data loss, please use high-quality, certified cards. You may ask a sales  
representative for more details. Do not insert or remove the card when the player is switched on,  
or the player may work abnormally and could possibly damage the SD card.  
13. Why doesn’t the player support certain AVI files? You must convert files with the  
software provided on the included CD to ensure proper encoding and conversion.  
14. Why does the player get hot while charging? e player is on and working when it is  
being charged, and therefore it is normal for it to warm up.  
15. Why is the volume of the headset on low when Karaoke is enabled? In order to properly  
exhibit your voice when singing, the background volume is set to 75% by default. If you feel that  
the volume of the background music is too low, you can adjust it to 100%. On the other hand, if  
you feel that it is too loud, you can adjust it to 50%.  
16. Why does certain music have distortion when FM transmission is enabled? If the bass  
is too loud it could distort the sound, so adjust the volume and tone to your preference.

Troubleshooting and Help  
Some downloaded files in the WMA format cannot be played.  
Music of various formats is now available online. Among the most popular are WMA  
(Windows Media Audio) files. Some music in the WMA format is protected by  
the copyright safeguard features of the DRM (Digital Rights Management) license.  
Unauthorized playing is not allowed by DRM, which protects the interests of the  
copyright owner. Some Web sites do provide WMA format music files without DRM  
protection, and like music in the MP3 format it can be freely copied and played. If  
you obtain DRM-protected WMA files for use with Windows Media Player (a free  
streaming utility provided by Microsoft that can be downloaded from many Web sites),  
you will be unable to copy it to or play it on a computer or a other digital player without  
the license.is means of preventing the spread of music and protecting the interest of  
copyright owners has been abandoned by iTunes and many other content providers.  
KSC lyrics behave differently.  
KSC lyrics are specially prepared to be in strict synchronization with the melody of the  
music file with the same title.  
Some lyrics are not displaying correctly or at all.  
KSC file names must be identical with the MP3 file names or lyrics can not be displayed  
when playing (since no lyrics with the same title can be found).

Some downloaded files that are smaller than the remaining storage space do not  
play.  
e internal memory chip in the player reserves 16-32KB as a memory area, and even a  
file of 1 Byte will take up one whole memory area.is can affect your perception of the  
amount of space available when the storage area is becoming full.
