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.

product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a  
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the  
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.  
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician  
uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION  
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug  
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the  
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug  
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete  
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.  
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating  
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the  
operating instructions, as an adjustment o other controls may result  
in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified  
technician to restore the product to its normal operation.  
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be  
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying  
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the  
point where they exit from the appliance.  
f.  
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this  
indicates a need for service.  
13. LIGHTNING  
23. HEAT  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)  
that produce heat.  
24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER  
To protect your product from a lightning storm, or when it is left  
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall  
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent  
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.  
14. POWER LINES  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention  
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper  
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be  
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point  
of cable entry as practical.  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of  
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it  
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside  
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching  
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

an external television set in order to see the On Screen Graphics that are recorded on CD+G Karaoke discs  
on an external TV, as well as the built-in monitor. To see the on screen graphics recorded on the CD+G, make  
sure the CDG/CAMERA switch on the rear of the unit is set to the CDG position.  
The video cable has yellow RCA type plugs on each end. Please note that your TV set must have an RCA

Also note that On Screen lyrics are only available on special Karaoke compact discs that bear the  
CD+G mark.  
Many newer TV sets have a set of Video and Stereo Audio jacks on the front panel for quick and easy  
connections without having to turn the TV set to gain access to the jacks on the back panel. If your TV set has  
such front panel A/V jacks, we suggest that you use those jacks to connect your portable Karaoke.  
After connecting the Video Out jack on this portable Karaoke to the Video In jack on your TV with the included  
video cable, you have the following three choices:  
1. Listen to the sound from the built-in speakers in this portable Karaoke system. In this case, no external  
audio connections are required.  
2. If your TV has stereo audio input jacks, you can connect the Audio Out jacks on the back of this unit to the  
Audio In jacks on your TV. The stereo audio connection cable is included. In this case, the lyrics from the  
CD+G disc will appear on your TV screen and/or monitor and the sound from the disc will be heard from

When the vocal feature is  
activated, the vocals on a  
multiplex recording are muted as

Adjust the MIC VOLUME control as desired. Increasing this control  
will increase the volume of the microphone. Adjust the ECHO control ❷  
to add an echo effect to your voice. The ECHO control is variable so  
add as much or as little reverb as desired. Sing or talk into the  
microphone and you will hear both the CD+G and the microphone.  
IMPORTANT: This feature only  
works with multiplex CDs.  
NOTE: The Program and Repeat features on a CD+G CD operate the same as with standard CD.  
INFORMATION ABOUT CD+G KARAOKE DISCS:  
CD+G Karaoke discs are designed specifically for playback in special CD players that include a CD+G decoder, such as  
this unit. These discs contain the lyrics to each song and the lyrics will appear on your TV screen, line by line, as the disc  
is playing. Usually the words on the screen will change color in time with the music to help you sing along at the proper  
tempo, even if you do not know the song.  
Most CD+G Karaoke discs have all of the songs recorded twice, first with music only, and then with music and vocal  
together. For example, if you purchase a CD+G disc containing four songs, tracks one through four will have the music  
only without vocals, and tracks five through eight will have the same four songs recorded with music on the left channel  
and the vocal tracks on the right channel.  
If you wish to sing along “solo” without any other vocals, you should select tracks one through four (for example). If you  
wish to sing a “duet” or be part of a group, select tracks five through eight (for example) that contain both the music and  
vocals.  
NOTE: Make sure the BALANCE control is set to the center position so you can hear both the vocal and music tracks at  
an equal level.  
MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:  
“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone comes too close to the speaker(s). To  
avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone as far away from the speakers as the microphone cable will allow. If  
you must bring the microphone close to the speakers, such as when you are changing a disc or adjusting one of the  
other controls on the front of the unit, set the microphone ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
