Notes on Karaoke Media

There are various types of Karaoke media available for playback with the Orange-300. You can perform Karaoke with standard CD, CDG, and VCD formats. The thing to remember is how each type differs as far as audio channels and video support.

Standard CD

While standard CD's are not designed for Karaoke applications, it is still possible to practice Karaoke with them. There will be no graphics (lyrics) to view on a TV since there is no video coding, however because the vocals are audible, you can follow along and practice your accuracy.

CDG

CDG has been the most commonly used format of Karaoke media for the last 7 years. It is very similar to a standard CD, except it has video graphics that are decoded by your Karaoke player and displayed onscreen. In addition, many CDG's are specially 'multiplex' formatted with background music on the left channel and vocals on the right channel, so vocal cancellation can be done by simply adjusting the balance control.

VCD

While the VCD format is not as popular in North America as it is in other countries, it remains an excellent format to be used for Karaoke. Because video is not limited to 16 colors (as with CDG), VCD's tend to have motion video behind the lyrics instead of a monotone screen, making them a bit more attractive to party atmospheres. Most VCD's also have multiplexed coded audio for easy vocal cancellation.

Performing Karaoke

To perform KARAOKE:

1.Refer to and follow the instructions for 'Loading a Disc' in the 'Disc Operations' section

2.Refer to and follow the instructions for connecting microphones in the 'Microphone Operation' section

3.When playback is commenced, your voice will be mixed with the playback output and heard through the speakers, and the lyrics will be displayed on the TV screen

Removing Guide Vocals

To REMOVE guide VOCALS from MULTIPLEXED karaoke media:

1.Press the L/R button at any time during disc playback to enable VOCAL CANCEL mode. In this mode, the guide vocals are removed from the source music. Press again to bring the vocals back

2.Press the L/R button while singing into the microphone to enable VOCAL PARTNER mode.

In this mode, the guide vocals are removed temporarily only when you are singing. When you

stop singing for a minimum of 2 seconds, the guide vocals are reintroduced. Press again to bring the vocals back

NOTE: Disc must be multiplexed formatted for this feature to work
