ADJUSTING THE SOUND

Use these controls to get the system’s sound just right.

TAPE SPEED — If you want to slow down or speed up the pace of the music as you sing along, turn TAPE SPEED to- ward MIN to slow down the tape, or to- ward MAX to speed it up. For normal tape speed, leave it set to the middle po- sition (marked with a red arrow).

BALANCE — To control the levels be- tween the prerecorded original singer’s voice and the music while you play a karaoke audio cassette tape, adjust

MIC VOLUME — Turn MIC VOLUME to- ward MIN to reduce the sound level on both the supplied and an additional mi- crophone, or toward MAX to increase it.

A.V.C. (Automatic Voice Control) — While you play a karaoke audio cassette tape, you can adjust A.V.C. to replace the prerecorded voice with your voice. When you stop singing into the micro- phone, the prerecorded singer’s voice returns. Turn A.V.C. clockwise until it clicks, then turn A.V.C. toward LO if you have a loud voice, or toward HI if you have a soft voice. When you finish, turn A.V.C., toward OFF until it clicks.

Using the 5-Band Frequency Equalizer

Use the controls on the 5-band frequen- cy equalizer to customize the sound you hear through the speaker. Each of the controls lets you adjust the level in a specific frequency range. For each range, slide its control up toward MAX to boost the level, or down toward MIN to reduce it. If you set the control to the middle position (0), the frequency is un- changed.
