SINGING ALONG

Now get ready for some fun! You can use these controls to get the sound just right:

Echo — This adds an echo effect to your voice while you sing. Adjust ECHO between MIN and MAX for the desired effect.

Voice Cancel — While you play the audio source, set POWER to VOCAL CANCEL to reduce the prerecorded voice’s volume.

Note: The voice cancelling feature re- duces the level of signals that are re- corded at the same level on both the left and right channels. Its effective- ness varies depending on the music source. For example, it does not work well with monaural recordings or broadcasts, recordings or broadcasts with strong echoes, stereo recordings with material originally recorded in monaural, or vocals recorded off cen- ter. Also, if a musical instrument was

recorded in the mid-frequency range, its sound level might decrease along with the vocals.

Tone — This adjusts the treble and bass of the sound of your voice as it comes through the speaker.

Warning: To protect your hearing, set the audio output component’s volume to its minimum position before you turn it on.

Follow these steps to sing along with the audio input source.

1.To turn on the karaoke, set POWER to ON. The power indica- tor lights.

2.Turn on the audio input source and the audio output component. You hear the audio input’s sound through the audio output compo- nent. Set the audio output compo- nent’s volume control to a comfortable listening level.
