Some Notes on Using a Microphone

•Be careful of high volume levels when using mikes late at night or early in the morning.

•When connecting a microphone to the KR-7, be sure to lower the volume. If the volume control is too high when the microphone is plugged in, noise may be produced by the speakers.

•Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

-Changing the orientation of the microphone.

-Relocating microphone at a greater distance from speakers.

-Lowering volume levels.

NOTE

Confirm that the display to be used is compatible with the frequencies mentioned above. Using a display that is not compatible with the above frequencies may result in incorrect image output when images move, and in certain cases may even damage the display.

■Making the Connections

NOTE

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
