DEAR KARAOKE NIGHT CUSTOMER
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and,
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,
we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For a Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of
fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is
often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Customer's Record:
The serial number of this product is found on its bottom. You should note the serial number of this
unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the
event of theft of loss.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving 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 furniture
polishes, wood preservatives, 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
place 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 with the
world of karaoke. The features listed below may not necessarily apply to the particular model that you
have. Following are some brief explanations:
Echo:
Echo adds depth and resonance to a singer's voice, without affecting the music. This echo is
produced by creating minor controlled feedback in the singer's voice.
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 multiplex control. The idea is to sing along with the lead singer
or replace the lead singer’s voice with yours. Background vocals and backup singers are provided.
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
multiplex recording are automatically re-activated. This useful 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 Compact Disc plus Graphics. You will also see variations CD+G and
CD+Graphics. This is a regular CD with information stored on a data track simultaneous to music.
CD+G has 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 most cases,
CD+G software displayed lyrics change color 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON CD-R/CE-RW DISC
PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
CD mechanisms used in devices like this are designed to fully read all commercial CDs. They will
also read self-compiled CD-R/CD-RW discs but it may take up to 10 seconds for playback to start. If
playback does not start, it is likely due to the quality of the CD-R/RW disc and/or the compatibility of
the CD compilation software. Manufacturer is not responsible for the playback quality of CD-R/RW
discs.
Do not attach a label or seal to either side of the CD-R/RW disc. It may cause a malfunction.

CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL TV/MONITOR
The karaoke system provides a patch cord to give you the option of connecting your unit to an
external audio/video device. The patch cord has three RCA jacks at each end. White and Red are
for left and right audio connections and the Yellow is for video. Modern flat panel digital TV sets and
home music systems are usually equipped with corresponding color-coded RCA jacks to assist
correct connections. Make sure that you have a CD+G disc in the karaoke system playing when you
are making this connection. You will know you have the proper settings on your TV as soon as you
see the lyrics on the screen.
Video connection
Please follow the steps below to display CD+G lyrics on the TV screen:
1. Locate the color-coded patch cords.
2. Connect video cable (Yellow) to the VIDEO OUT (#22) on the back of the karaoke system.
3. Connect the other end of the video cable (Yellow) to the VIDEO/AV INPUT on your TV.
If your television does not have the required Video Input, you will need a RF modulator (Radio
Frequency Modulator), which connects through your TV Antenna or cable line and serves as your
Video Input. The RF Modulator can be purchased at almost any consumer electronics retailer. If you
are connecting the video from the karaoke system to a television video input jack, you must specify
the source the TV is to display. Your TV user guide can tell you how to display the video signal from
the 'Video In' jack. If you do not have the manual for your TV, we suggest calling the TV
manufacturer's customer service department. Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you
accurately how to configure your TV to display the video signal coming from the 'Video Input' jack.
Note: Some projection TV sets do not properly display the standard blue background used on most
CD+G discs. If the background color is inconsistent or flashing, please try connecting your karaoke
system to a standard CRT/LCD television instead.
Common ways to configure your TV
1. You karaoke system is designed to connect to your TV. The karaoke system is constantly
sending the video and audio signals to the VIDEO OUT JACK (#22) and AUDIO OUT JACK (#23)
whenever you play a CD+G disc. So, load a CD+G into your karaoke system before you start
making these connections. You will see lyrics on the TV screen as soon as you have completed
the setup correctly.
E-7
2. The setup of your TV is the most difficult part of making the connection for displaying your lyrics.
In most homes, the TV has either cable connected or an antenna in use. Once you connect your
karaoke system to the TV, you must 'tell' your TV to display the input from the karaoke system
instead of the usual input from the cable or antenna.
3. Check your TV user manual for the easiest way to setup your particular entertainment system. If
you do not have your manual, you can always call your TV manufacturer for that information or try
their website for online assistance. We have listed below the most common ways of setting up a
TV:
♦ In the setup menu for configuring the TV there may be an 'Input Selection' option where you
may choose between 'Cable/Ant.', 'Video 1', or 'Video 2' etc. as the input source.
♦ Try looking for a 'Video' channel between the highest channel and the lowest channel on your
TV (i.e. between 2 and 99 may be 'VIDEO' or 'INPUT').
♦ Look for buttons on the remote control for the TV you are connecting to that say 'VIDEO',
'VIDEO 1', 'AUX', 'EXT', 'LINE 1. The 'LINE-IN' button will display the Video input source.
Audio connection
Connect the unit to your TV or home stereo system using the White and Red connections on the
supplied patch cord. Plug the white end of the patch cord into the white AUDIO OUT JACK (#23) on
the unit. Plug the red end of the patch cord into the red AUDIO OUT JACJ (#23) on the unit. Now
connect the other end of the cable's white (left channel) and red (right channel) plugs to your TV or
home stereo system's 'AUDIO IN' or 'AUX IN' jacks.
CONNECTING A MICROPHONE
Plug a microphone (one microphone is included) into the MIC 1 or MIC 2
JACKS (#25) on the right side of your unit. The MIC output will be mixed with
an audio source from CD/CD+G.
CAUTION - Tapping or dropping the microphone while it is on can cause
permanent damage to it. Never grip and swing the microphone
around by the connecting cord
