SYSTEM OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE SOUND

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

MASTER VOLUME — Control the vol- ume of the system’s speaker by turning MASTER VOLUME toward MIN or MAX. The volume remains set until you read- just it.

TAPE SPEED — To slow down or speed up the pace of the music as you sing along, turn TAPE SPEED toward LOW or HIGH. For normal tape speed, leave it set to the middle position.

ECHO — You can adjust ECHO to add an echo effect to your voice while you sing. Turn and hold ECHO toward LOW or HIGH for the desired effect and re- lease.

TONE CONTROL — You can use TONE CONTROL to customize the sound you hear through the speaker. Turn TONE CONTROL toward LOW for a low and deep sound or HIGH for a high and sharp sound.

USING HEADPHONES

You can use headphones (not supplied) to listen in privacy. Insert the head- phones' 1/8-inch plug into the PHONES jack.

Note: Connecting headphones automat- ically disconnects the speakers.

Your local Radioshack store sells a wide selection of headphones.

LISTENING SAFELY

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

Do not listen at extremely high vol- ume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a vol- ume level that does not cause dis- comfort might still damage your hearing.
