CAUTION:
READ THIS BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR UNIT
FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A.)
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT MODIFY THIS
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,
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 product in the
U.S.A.
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into
the set, contact your dealer.
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:
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.
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.
Relocate either this product or the device that is
being affected by the interference.
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.
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.
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.
12. When positining your equipment, especially
regarding speakers or other accessories, avoid
positioning them over areas where they can fall and
cause injury to yourself and others.
CAUTION
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 that the apparatus is indeed
fully void if residual power, leave unit
disconnected from the AC outlet for at least
fifteen seconds.

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
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

Before Getting Started: Things to Consider
It is very important to read the following instructions prior to starting any installation
procedures. Doing so will ensure a correct installation and may save you some time as well.
Protect Against Power Surges
•
Connect all external components before you plug any of their power cords into the
wall outlet.
•
•
Turn off the Sumo before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded.
Protect Components from Overheating
•
•
•
•
Don't block ventilation holes. Arrange any components so that air can circulate freely.
Don't stack components.
If you place the Sumo on a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
If you connect an external receiver or amplifier, place it away from the Sumo so the
heated air from it won't flow around it.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
•
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
•
If you place components above the Sumo, route all cables down the side of the back
of the Sumo instead of straight down the middle of the back of the Sumo.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your Sumo carefully. If the Sumo is placed on a stand or base,
ensure that it is of adequate size and strength to prevent it from being accidentally tipped
over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the Sumo.
FCC Compliance Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential

5. To add depth or ambiance to your voice, adjust the
DIGITAL ECHO, controls until the desired effect is obtained.
Note: To prevent feedback or whistling from occurring, please be sure that the microphone is not pointed
at the speaker system or has too much.
Using the Pitch Control to Adjust Tape Speed
The Pitch control allows you increase or decrease the speed at which the tape is played. By increasing the
speed of the tape, the audio also sounds higher and vice versa when you decrease the speed. This is very
handy when you would like to sing a song faster or slower.
Turn clockwise decrease pitch, and counter-clockwise to increase pitch.
Using Vocal Partner and Vocal Sensitivity Control
When playing Multiplex recorded software, you can use the V.Partner feature to remove the vocal layer from
playback. When the Vocal feature is activated, the vocal layer on a multiplex recording is eliminated as soon
as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the vocals on the multiplex
recording are automatically returned to playback. This function is useful for practicing duo sessions when a
singer is performing solo. To enable V. Partner, turn the sensitivity control clockwise till the guide vocals
disappear from the mix. Leave the setting after your voice level has been set. To remove the V.Partner
feature, turn the V.Partner fully counter Clockwise.
Note: The Vocal feature only works with
multiplex recorded software.
