•Key control cannot be activated while DVD Audio is played.

•By pressing REC START/STOP, you can record your singing along if you want.

Singing Along (Karaoke):

•Karaoke mode is vocal masking mode. The vocal masking reduces the lead vocal of any 2-channel playing source, and allows you to replace it by singing into the microphones as the music plays. If the playing disc is a multiplex Karaoke disc, you can enjoy multiplex sound by press AUDIO (see page 21).

•You can activate Karaoke mode only when the disc player is selected as the source.

•Karaoke mode setting is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal.

•On some music, Karaoke mode does not provide the correct effect.

Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks). Such entries are ignored, and are erased from the program.

•Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the source after Recording Timer starts recording.
