FEATURES

Your Optimus CDG Karaoke System is one of the most versatile karaoke sys- tems available. It lets you be the “star” as you sing along with your favorite re- cordings on a CD, a CDG (a compact disc with a graphic track), a cassette tape, or a video tape, and hear your voice with the music through the power- ful built-in speaker.

The karaoke system’s CDG capability is the latest advancement in karaoke tech- nology. It lets you connect the karaoke system to a TV or monitor and read the lyrics of your favorite tunes as they scroll by in front of a still video graphic, such as a picture or drawing related to the music.

You can sing along without video graph- ics using special karaoke audio cassette tapes (such as the one we have includ- ed to get you started) that let you bal- ance the volume of the original singer’s voice and the music tracks. Or, you can sing along with a regular prerecorded cassette tape or CD (not supplied).

You can also connect another audio source to the karaoke system, such as a stereo VCR, and play a karaoke video cassette (not supplied).

Note: Additional karaoke CDs, audio cassettes, and video cassettes are available by special order through your local RadioShack store.

Your karaoke system’s features include:

Front Loading CD/CDG Player — lets you play regular or karaoke CDs, or spe- cial CDGs so you can experience digital images — the latest in karaoke fun!

Plus, the player’s 16 bit D/A converter (digital-to-analog conversion circuitry which accurately reproduces all sound levels with virtually no distortion) and 8 times oversampling produce high quality sound.

Dual-Cassette Decks — let you play two cassette tapes in a row, dub from one tape to another, or sing with one tape while recording on the other.

8-Watt Per Channel Amp— lets you singalong and listen through the karaoke system’s 5-inch woofer and 2- inch tweeter.

Adjustable Echo Control — lets you add an echo to the sound for a concert hall effect.

Tape Speed Control — lets you adjust the tape speed to match your voice pitch.

Supplied Karaoke CDG and Audio Tape — lets you sing along with the music and adjust the volume of the prerecorded voice and music.
