The System includes two microphone terminals, MIC 1 and MIC 2.
By attaching a microphone to one or both these terminals, you can
use the System for Karaoke or microphone mixing. You can also
add an echo to the microphone’s sound except when Tuner is select-
ed as a source.
■The MIC LEVEL control adjusts the volume for both MIC 1
and MIC 2 at the same time.
■When you will not be using the microphone, keep the MIC
LEVEL control set to MIN, and disconnect the microphone.
CAUTION: Always set the MIC LEVEL control to
MIN when connecting or disconnecting the micro-
phone.
You can enjoy singing along using audio CDs, video CDs and CD-
Gs. (Koraoke does not function for other sources such as tape.)
While singing along, you can apply echo and adjust the music key.

Singing Along with Multiplex Kara-
oke CDs-MPX (Multiplex)/Vocal Re-
place Sound —————————————
If the source you are going to play is a multiplex Karaoke CD, you
can use the two functions; Multiplex Sound and Vocal Replace.
What is Multiplex Sound?
In a multiplex Karaoke CD, the instrumental parts are recorded on
the left channel and the vocal parts are recorded on the right chan-
nel. With this system, you can select the playback sound with your
voice through the microphone (With this system, you can select
each channel separately.).
What is Vocal Replace?
By using this function, you can replace the lead vocal (recorded on
the right channel) with your voice as you sing into the microphone.
If you stop singing, while a source is still playing, the original vocal
sound automatically resumes.

on the TV.

ing it counterclockwise.
