Singing Your Favorite Songs Along with Karaoke Discs (DV-533K only)

DVD/Super VCD/Video CD/CD/MP3

This player has a karaoke feature that lets you sing along with your favorite songs, featuring a microphone jack conveniently located on the front panel as well as controls for mixing the vocal level and amount of digital echo effect.

When “howling” occurs

If sound from the speakers is picked up by a mic and output again through the speakers, the result is a screeching sound known as “howling”.

To eliminate howling:

Point the mic away from the speakers.

Move the mic away from the speakers.

Turn VOLUME counterclockwise to lower the volume level.

Turn ECHO counterclockwise to lower the echo effect.

Note

Reduce the volume when plugging in the microphone to prevent feedback.
