PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!

This system is equipped with non-skid rubbe r ‘feet’ to pre vent the p roduct from mo ving
when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material
specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However
certain types of oil based furnitu re polishes, wood pres ervatives, or cleaning sprays may
cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture.
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small
self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers
everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you plac e the
product on fine wooden furniture.

GLOSSARY OF KARAOKE

In addition to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products, a few
additional terms are used almost exclusively in karaoke. These terms are meant to
familiarize you wit h the world of karaoke . The features list ed below ma y not necessaril y
apply to the particular model that you have. Following are some brief explanations:

Echo:

Echo adds de pth and resonance to a singer's voice, withou t affecting the music. This
echo is produced by creating minor controlled f eedbac k in the singer's voice.

3

CDGMs (Compact Disc Plus Graphics Multiplex):

They are CD’s that contain songs that include the lead singer's voice, which can be
removed with a karaoke system that has a balance or multipl ex contr ol. The idea is to si ng
along with the lead singer or replace the lead singer’s voice w ith yours. B ackground vocals
and backup singers are provide d.

Automatic Voice Control (AVC):

When the AVC function is activated, the vocals on a multiplex recording are eliminated as
soon as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the
vocals on the multiple x recording are automatically re-activated. This us eful function is
used primarily during practice sessions while a singer is learning a song. Please note that
the AVC function only works with multiplex recordings and not with standard audio
recordings.

CD+G:

This is an acronym for Comp act Disc plus Graphics . You will als o see variat ions CD+G,
and CD+Graphics. This is a regular CD with information stored on a data track
simultaneous to music. CDG has a video output for simple graphics (not full motion video).
In the case of karaoke, the graphics function is used to store song lyrics, and display the
lyrics in sync with music . In mos t cases, CDG soft ware displa yed lyrics change c olor as
they are to be sung. A regular television with a Video-In RCA Jack is all that is required to
display CD+G lyrics.
