SINGING ALONG

Now, get ready for some fun! In this sec- tion, we tell you how to connect your mi- crophone and sing along with the karaoke system.

Warning: To protect your hearing, set VOLUME on the karaoke system and the volume control on any connected exter- nal audio component to its lowest setting before you turn them on.

SINGING WITH A

CASSETTE TAPE

Follow these steps to sing along with a regular prerecorded cassette tape or a karaoke audio cassette tape (such as the one supplied).

1.Set AUX/TAPE on the back of the karaoke system to TAPE.

2.Load the cassette tape into TAPE 1 or TAPE 2.

3.Press POWER.

4.Press PLAY on the deck you are using.

5.Adjust VOLUME to the desired listen- ing level.

6.Set the microphone’s ON/OFF switch to ON, then adjust MIC VOLUME to the desired microphone output level.

Note: If you connected an additional microphone, MIC VOLUME affects its output level along with the supplied microphone.

7.Adjust the system’s sound to your listening preferences using ECHO,

A.V.C., BALANCE, TAPE SPEED, and the 5-Band Frequency Equalizer.

8.Sing directly into the microphone along with the music.

9.If you are using a karaoke audio cassette tape, adjust A.V.C. for the desired effect.

Note: With a regular (non-karaoke) prerecorded cassette tape, you can- not adjust the volume of the prere- corded original singer’s voice in relation to the music.

10.When you finish, press STOP/EJECT on the deck you are using to stop the tape. Press STOP/EJECT again to open the cassette compartment door and remove the tape.
