You can listen to a CD+G karaoke disc. CD+G discs combine the recorded music with an additional video track that displays the song lyrics on this monitor (and an external TV, if connected). As the song plays, the words to be sung are highlighted in a different color on most CD+Gs.

INFORMATION ABOUT CD+G KARAOKE DISCS:

CD+G Karaoke discs are designed specifically for playback in special CD players that include a CD+G decoder, such as this unit. These discs contain the lyrics to each song and the lyrics will appear on your external TV screen, line by line, as the disc is playing. Usually the words on the screen will change color in time with the music to help you sing along at the proper tempo, even if you do not know the song.

Some CD+G Karaoke discs have all of the songs recorded twice, first with music only, and then with music and vocals together. (This type of recording is called a “Multiplex” recording.) For example, if you purchase a CD+G disc containing four songs, tracks one through four may have the music only without vocals, and tracks five through eight might have the same four songs recorded with music on the left channel and the vocal tracks on the right channel.

NOTE: Make sure the BALANCE control is set to the center position so you can hear both the vocal and music tracks at an equal level.

MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:

 

“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone(s) comes too close to the

speaker(s). To avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone(s) as far away from the speaker(s) as the

microphone cable(s) will allow. If you must bring the microphone(s) close to the speaker(s), such as when you are

changing a disc or adjusting one of the other controls on the front of the unit, set the microphone(s) ON/OFF

switch(es) to the OFF position.
