FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A.)
CAUTION:
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT MODIFY THIS
READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT
UNIT!: This product, when installed as indicated in the
instructions contained in this manual, meets FCC
requirements. Modifications not expressly approved by
Vocopro may void your authority, granted by the FCC,
to use this product.
1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this
manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place - away from
windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust,
moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, v
motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to
rain and water.
2. IMPORTANT: When connecting this product to
accessories and/or another product use only high
quality shielded cables. Cable(s) supplied with this
product MUST be used. Follow all installation
instructions. Failure to follow instructions could void your
FCC authorization to use this product in the U.S.A.
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.
3. NOTE: This product has been tested and found to
comply with the requirements listed in FCC Regulations,
Part 15 for Class "B" digital devices. Compliance with
these requirements provides a reasonable level of
assurances that your use of this product in a residential
environment will not result in harmful interference with
other electronic devices. This equipment
generates/uses radio frequencies and, if not installed
and used according to the instructions found in the
owner's manual, may cause interference harmful to the
operation of other electronic devices. Compliance with
FCC regulations does not guarantee that interference
will not occur in all installations. If this product is found
to be the source of interference, which can be
determined by turning the unit "Off" and "On", please try
to eliminate the problem by using one of the following
measures:
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the
set, contact your dealer.
5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation.
Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this will cause the
internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.
6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When
moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently disconnect
the power plug and the cords connecting to other
equipment. Never pull the cord itself.
7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents:
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
8. Be sure to read the "Troubleshooting" section on common
operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.
Relocate either this product or the device that is being
affected by the interference.
9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when the
power switch is turned off. We recommend that you unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not going to
be used for a long time. This will save electricity and help
prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Use power outlets that are on different branch (circuit
breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line filter(s).
In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate/reorient
the antenna. If the antenna lead-in is 300-ohm ribbon
lead, change the lead-in to coaxial type cable.
10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord
and remove the antenna cable during an electrical storm.
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory
results, please contact your local retailer authorized to
distribute Vocopro products. If you can not locate the
appropriate retailer, please contact Vocopro, 1728
Curtiss Court, La Verne, CA 91750.
11. The general digital signals may interfere with other
equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the system
farther away from such equipment if interference is
observed.
NOTE:
Please check the copyright laws in your country
before recording from records, compact discs,
radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may
infringe copyright laws.
CAUTION
Voltage Selector (General Model Only)
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power
source so long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the apparatus itself is turned off. To fully insure

Listening For A Lifetime
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. VocoPro 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 a higher volume
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.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.
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.
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.
Some common decibel ranges:
Level
Example
30
40
50
60
70
80
Quiet library, Soft whispers
Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic
Light traffic, Normal Conversation
Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine
Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant
Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.
The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:
Level
Example
90
100
120
140
180
Subway, Motorcycle, Truck traffic, Lawn Mower
Garbage truck, Chainsaw, Pneumatics drill

Getting Connected
Below we provide some general information to help understand how a professional Karaoke system works
and how it is connected.
Signal Path
When connecting your professional Karaoke system, the key is keeping in mind the signal path from the
source music into your PKJ-9090 and out to your monitor, amp and speakers. Understanding the signal
path before installation will make the process easier and most likely save you lots of time! Below is a diagram
illustrating a basic signal path.

Middle Panel
Descriptions and Functions
With the first press of this button, the red MULTIPLEX
1. VIDEO SELECT toggle - Holding this switch
in the CROSSFADER position for a second,
toggles video selection options between either
CROSSFADER activation and MANUAL. When in
CROSSFADER mode, the LED above CROSSFAD-
ER VIDEO TOGGLE will illuminate blue. This indi-
cates that video ouput signal is recieved from the
two assigned sources in the crossfader ASSIGN
selections. You can alternate between any two of
the three source inputs by pushing the crossfad-
er either to the far left or far right. As you shift
the crossfader in either direction, you will see
the respective VIDEO 1, 2, or 3 LEDs above the
SOURCE toggles illuminate.
In MANUAL mode, the CROSSFADER VIDEO TOG-
GLE LED is not illuminated, indicating that you can
manually shift between the VIDEO LEDs by simply
pushing the VIDEO SELECT toggle in the MANUAL
postion repeatedly to cycle through VIDEO 1 (red
LED), 2 (green LED) and 3 (yellow LED).
LED is lit, indicating that lead vocals have been re-
moved, a feature also known as VOCAL CANCEL. The
channel with music only is duplicated so it is heard in
both left and right channels. Some backing vocals will
remain if there is overlap in the way they are recorded.
Pressed two more times, this button will illuminate the
yellow LED to indicate VOCAL PARTNER and guide vo-
cals will be activated.
VOCAL ELIMINATOR - Press the button until the
center, green LED illuminates. With standard record-
ings, you will be able to partially remove lead vocals to
turn any recording into a Karaoke performance or for
remixing possibilities. To return to regular disc playback,
press this button until all three LEDs are unlit.
6. DIGITAL KEY CONTROL - Key Control allows you to
modify the original key of a track without changing its
tempo to match the natural range of your voice. You
can raise or lower your source music a total of 11
steps, or half note increments from its “natural” key. To
step DOWN or “flat (b)” the key, press the left button.
To step UP or “sharp (#)” the key, press the right but-
ton. To revert back to the original/natural key press the
middle NORMAL button.
2. STEREO CHANNEL SOURCE toggle - This
switch will toggle between AV, PHONO/LINE and
CD sources connected to that channel. As stated
above, if you have both a CD+G player and a turn-
table connected to the same channel, only that
device to which this SOURCE TOGGLE is selected
would be audible. Applicable graphics/video sig-
nals are output accordingly.
Note: Key changes are only cueable when Master cueing.
7. CHANNEL FADER - Each fader raises and lowers
the volume of the corresponding STEREO 1, 2 or 3
channel as it is moved up or down.
3. SIGNAL light - This light illuminates blue when
a signal is recieved to STEREO CHANNEL 1, 2 or
3.
8. CUE - This monitors the input signal from the mix
board to the headphones. Press CUE to hear that chan-
nel through the headphones. Note: If you cue more than
one channel, those channels will be audible as well.
4. GAIN - This knob controls the input level from
that channel’s selected source. To increase the
GAIN, turn clockwise.
Note: Adjusting this knob is not synonymous to
adjusting the channel fader. The gain knob adjusts
the input level from the source, while the channel
fader adjusts the output level from the source.
For best audio results, adjust GAIN until just be-
fore distortion is noticeable.
9. KEY - This assigns DIGITAL KEY CONTROL to the
channel. If the button is pressed, DIGITAL KEY CON-
TROL will be applied to that channel.
5. VOCAL PARTNER/MULTIPLEX FUNCTION
& VOCAL ELMINATOR
VOCAL PARTNER/MULTIPLEX - This feature
can alternately remove and activate “guide” or
“lead” vocals with compatible Multiplex media.
On this type of media, music and lead vocals are
panned hard left and right.

10. CROSSFADER/VIDEO TOGGLE - The
CROSSFADER allows the user to fade the music
out from one source and in to another source,
while simultaneously switching the VIDEO TOG-
GLE between the two associated video inputs.
For example, a clean fade from one CDG to an-
other is possible, automatically cueing the lyrics
for each disc on your video monitor. The PKJ-
9090PRO eliminates manual video cueing from
the music source switching process. However,
you have the choice of cueing manually if you
prefer or the situation calls for it. Select either
MANUAL or CROSSFADER from the VIDEO
SELECT toggle.

determines which inputs will be included in the
crossfade. For example, to fade between a
track from STEREO CHANNEL 1 to a track cued
on STEREO CHANNEL 2, the ASSIGN button on
the left should be pressed to illuminate the 1
LED, and the right pressed to illuminate the 2
LED. You will hear that one input source “fades”
out” while the other “fades in” when the CROSS-
FADER is moved from left to right.

1. SPEAKER/BRIDGE OUTPUTS - This connection outputs to speakers using “banana cables”. You have
the option of using the Bridge configuration or the Stereo configuration. See the OPERATIONS section for
instructions on using the STEREO or BRIDGE configuration.
2. GROUND LIFT switch - A “ground loop” is a phenomenon where an unintended connection to ground
is made through an interfering electrical conductor, causing what is known as “60Hz hum.” A GROUND
LIFT switch adds a resistor between the ground and cable shield when switched on, effectively ridding the
system of hum.
3. AC INPUT - This is the terminal for the AC power cable. Carefully insert the AC power cable here. The
AC power cable should fit firm into housing.
4. VOLTAGE SELECTOR - This switch can change the voltage from 115V to 230V. Before your PKJ-
9090PRO is shipped from the factory, the switch is set to 115V. If you live in an area that has different
voltage requirements (230-240V), you MUST set it to 230V.
5. STEREO/BRIDGE selector - Choose between STEREO or BRIDGE output modes.

Digital Echo
Customizing Digital Echo settings (See Figure 1)
When using Digital Echo, you can customize the effect by adjusting the ECHO, REPEAT and DELAY controls.
First set the ECHO level control to 5. Then customize the effect with the REPEAT and DELAY level controls.
REPEAT adjusts the interval repetition of the echo effect. As more REPEAT is applied, more echo intervals
will be heard when using it and vice versa. DELAY adjusts length of each interval. As more DELAY is applied,
there will be more “space” between the starting and ending point of each echo. When the Digital Echo effect
is customized, adjust the ECHO level control as you would a master level control.

Vocal Partner/Vocal Eliminator/Multiplex features v(See Figure 2)
The VOCAL button can switch between three modes
1. MULTIPLEX - With Multiplex media, music and lead vocals are panned hard left and right. With the first
press of this button, the red MULTIPLEX LED is lit, indicating that lead vocals have been removed. This feature
is also known as VOCAL CANCEL. The channel with music only is duplicated so it is heard in both left and right
channels. Some backing vocals will remain if there is overlap in the way they are recorded.
2. VOCAL PARTNER - Pressed two more times, the VOCAL button will illuminate the yellow LED to indicate
VOCAL PARTNER and “guide” or “lead” vocals will be activated. In this mode, the vocal layer will be cancelled
only as long there is Mic activity present. When there is no Mic/Line activity present, the vocal layer appears
for continuity. In other words, while you are singing, the vocal layer is cancelled, and when you are not singing,
the vocal layer is output. This mode is commonly used when a solo singer wants to simulate a duet, with the
KJ-7800 as the “partner.”
3. VOCAL ELIMINATOR - Press the VOCAL button until the center, green LED illuminates. With standard
recordings, you will be able to partially remove lead vocals to turn any recording into a Karaoke performance
or for remixing possibilities. It is not possible for such an effect to entirely remove vocals from a recording
because it operates by selecting certain frequencies that best represent the vocal range in the center of a
mix. Naturally, this removes other tones in these frequencies with it. To return to regular disc playback, press
this button until all three LEDs are unlit.

Talk Over
Making an announcement during playback
To make an announcement during music playback, you most likely will want the music at a low enough volume
so that you can be heard over the music clearly. To do this, you use the TALK OVER function(pg 9, #9) when
the toggle is set to ON, the music volume is lowered considerably to allow for the announcement. When
done with the announcement, you switch the toggle back to OFF to return the music back to the level it was
originally. If you make several announcements, and want to avoid Talk Over On/Off switching, use the AUTO
mode. When in AUTO mode, the music volume level will automatically lower whenever there is mic activity
during an announcement and return when the announcement is over.
Note: Talk Over only works with Mic 1. If you try to use it when speaking into Mic 2, 3 or 4, it will
not work. Mic 1 is reserved as the KJ/DJ Mic.
Graphic Equalizer
Fine tuning music for precise room tuning
To fine tune the sound of your musical output, we included the 5-Band Graphic EQ. This EQ makes adjust-
ing the warmth or sharpness of your music a breeze. Frequency range settings are: 60, 250, 1k, 4k and
12k. The lows are 60 and 250, the mid is 1k and the highs are 4k and 12k. Below we have provided
some common general settings.

Crossfading between sources
The crossfader allows you to “mix” or crossfade between two channels while toggling between corresponding
video outputs. To do this, you need to first ASSIGN the two channels to your CROSSFADER. On each side of
the CROSSFADER, there is an ASSIGN button. The LEFT ASSIGN button can assign either CHANNEL 1 or
2, while the RIGHT ASSIGN button can assign either CHANNEL 2 or 3. Once you have your desired channels
assigned, move their respective CHANNEL FADERS to an audible level, and slide the CROSSFADER back and
forth to crossfade.
Note: If you assign channel 2 on both sides, the crossfader will not crossfade.
