This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
n wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors,
i
location of antenna discharge product, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for grounding electrodes.

Use the AC polarized line cord included with the unit for
operation on AC power. Insert into a conveniently located AC
outlet having 120V, 60Hz.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help
minimize the possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does
not fit into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide

replace the obsolete outlet.
OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS
If you are using special CD+G (Graphics) discs in this Karaoke system, you can connect this unit to an
external television set in order to see the On-Screen Graphics that are recorded on CD+G Karaoke discs or
the camera’s image on an external TV, as well as the built-in monitor. Use the MONITOR switch to select the
output source of the built-in monitor and use the CDG/CAMERA switch (on the rear of the unit) to select the
source for the external TV. To see the On-Screen Graphics recorded on the CD+G disc, make sure the
MONITOR and/or CDG/CAMERA switch is set to the CD+G position. To see the camera's image, make sure
the MONITOR and/or CDG/CAMERA switch is set to the CAMERA position. To see the video from the VIDEO
IN jack (at the rear of the unit), make sure the
the MONITOR Switch is set to the CD+G/AUX position.
The video cable has yellow RCA type plugs on each end. Please note that your TV set must have
an RCA type Video Input jack in order to view the CD+G lyrics on your TV screen. You cannot
connect this portable Karaoke system to your TV’s coaxial antenna terminal. Also note that OnScreen Graphics are only available on special Karaoke compact discs that bear the CD+G mark.
Many newer TV sets have a set of Video and Stereo Audio jacks on the front panel for quick and easy
connections without having to turn the TV set to gain access to the jacks on the back panel. If your TV set has
such front panel A/V jacks, we suggest that you use those jacks to connect your portable Karaoke system.
After connecting the Video Out jack on this Karaoke system to the Video In jack on your TV with the video
cable, you have the following three choices:
1. Listen to the sound from the built-in speakers in this Karaoke system. In this case, no external audio
connections are required, just the video connection.
2. If your TV has stereo audio input jacks, you can connect the Audio Out jacks on the back of this unit to the

INFORMATION ABOUT CD+G KARAOKE DISCS:
CD+G Karaoke discs are designed specifically for playback in special CD players that
include a CD+G decoder, such as this unit. These discs contain the lyrics to each song
and the lyrics will appear on your monitor and/or external TV screen, line by line, as the
disc is playing. Usually the words on the screen will change color in time with the music to
help you sing along at the proper tempo, even if you do not know the song.
Some CD+G Karaoke discs have all of the songs recorded twice, first with music only, and
then with music and vocals together. (This type of recording is called a “Multiplex”
recording.) For example, if you purchase a CD+G disc containing four songs, tracks one
through four may have the music only without vocals, and tracks five through eight might
have the same four songs recorded with music on the left channel and the vocal tracks on
the right channel.
NOTE: For Multiplex recordings, make sure the BALANCE control is set to the center
position so you can hear both the vocal and music tracks at an equal level.
MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:
“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone(s) comes
too close to the speaker. To avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone(s) as far
away from the speaker as the microphone cable(s) will allow. If you must bring the
microphone(s) close to the speaker, such as when you are changing a disc or adjusting
one of the other controls on the front of the unit, set the microphone(s) ON/OFF switch(es)
to the OFF position.

• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact disc
only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact
with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact
disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free,
dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to
clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer
edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logos as
shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play
properly.
• Compact Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged
exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc.
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink,
may damage the surface.
Cleaning the Unit
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.
• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution
