PLEASE NOTE: When using this feature the words may become jumbled on your TV monitor. In this scenario, digital graphics information does not process as rapidly as audio signals. Therefore the video signal will have to “catch up” to the audio signal. The screen will “refresh” on it’s own.

Balancing your Mix

1.It is best to begin by first setting the music volume at a comfortable level for the room in which you are using your CDG-X3P. The number of people in a room will generally have an effect on the acoustics of a room and how much volume you will need.

2.Once the desired music volume is achieved, test each microphone volume individually by speaking or singing into the microphone, holding it approximately two inches away from your mouth.

3.Adjust the volume control(s) for each microphone until an equal mix of music and vocals can be heard. Remember to allow for vocal variances in each song where it may be necessary to sing louder or softer.

Adding Bass and Treble to the Music

1.Locate the small “BASS” and “TREBLE” control knobs on the front of the CDG-X3P underneath the large “MUSIC VOL” knob.

2.To add bass tones to the music, turn the “BASS” knob clockwise until you have added the desired amount of bass tone to the music. Likewise to remove bass tone turn the knob counter clockwise.

3.To add treble tone to the music, turn the “TREBLE” knob clockwise until you have added the desired amount of treble

tone to the music.

Note: A bass tone is a “low” “warm” tone. A treble tone is a “higher” and “brighter” sounding tone than a bass tone. How much is added or taken out is a matter of personal preference to the listener(s).
