Karaoke
This chapter describes how to play discs in karaoke mode and how to use the various karaoke features .
Using Karaoke
You can enjoy karaoke (singing along with a disc) by setting this player to karaoke mode. You can connect up to two microphones (not supplied) to the player.
Setting the player to karaoke mode
The player enters karaoke mode when a microphone is plugged into the MIC 1 or 2 connector.
The player exits from karaoke mode when you disconnect the microphones from both of the MIC 1 and 2 connectors. You may also switch karaoke mode on or off by pressing KARAOKE MODE on the remote. The KEY CONTROL button indicators light up when the player is in karaoke mode.
When you turn the karaoke mode on with DVDs or Super VCDs, the karaoke play is performed with the audio channel you selected in “AUDIO” of the Control Menu display. With CDs or VIDEO CDs, the “AUDIO” setting automatically changes to “1/L” so that only the accompaniment is played when you turn the karaoke mode on. If the vocal audio is heard with some discs, select the audio channel for the karaoke play in “AUDIO” of the Control Menu display (page 31).

•You cannot use the karaoke function with the DIGITAL OUT connectors.
•You cannot use the Program Play function in karaoke mode.
