FEATURES

Your Optimus Dual-Cassette Karaoke System lets you be the “star” as you sing along with your favorite recordings and hear your voice with the music through the speaker. You can sing along with special karaoke audio cassette tapes (such as the one we have included to get you started) that let you balance the volume of the original singer’s voice and the music tracks. Or, you can sing along with a regular prerecorded cassette tape (not supplied).

You can also connect another audio source, such as a CD player or stereo VCR, to the karaoke system.

If you connect a stereo VCR to the karaoke system and play a karaoke vid- eo cassette (not included), the video cassette shows the lyrics on a TV, and the system lets you adjust the volume of the prerecorded original singer’s voice and music as you sing along.

Note: Additional karaoke audio cas- sette tapes, as well as karaoke video cassettes, are available by special or- der through your local RadioShack store.

Your karaoke system’s compact design and convenient carrying handle let you take it almost anywhere.

Plus, your karaoke system can be used as a small PA system for speaking at parties or other gatherings — just plug in the microphone and turn on the power.

Your karaoke system’s features include:

Supplied Microphone and Karaoke Audio Cassette Tape — let you imme- diately begin using the system.

Dual Microphone Jacks — let you use two microphones simultaneously to sing duets or lead and background vocals with another singer.

Dual-Cassette Decks — let you play two cassette tapes consecutively, or dub from one tape to another.

5-Band Frequency Equalizer — lets you precisely adjust the tone and sound to your preference and your room’s unique acoustics.

Echo Control — lets you add an echo to your voice for a concert hall effect.

Balance Control — adjusts the balance between the prerecorded singer’s voice and the music (if you use a karaoke au- dio cassette tape).

Automatic Voice Control — lets you re- place the prerecorded singer’s voice with your voice, if you use a karaoke audio cassette tape.

Tape Speed Control — adjusts the tape’s speed to match your voice’s pitch.
