Dear 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. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level

Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE:

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet engine 180 Rocket launching pad

PLAYING A CD+G (COMPACT DISC + GRAPHICS) DISC KARAOKE

You can listen to a CD+G karaoke disc. CD+G discs combine the recorded music with an additional video track that displays the song lyrics on a television screen. As the song plays, the words to be sung are highlighted in a different color on most CD+Gs.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)

NOTE: The Program and Repeat features on a CD+G CD operate the same as with standard CD.

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 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. Most CD+G karaoke discs have all of the songs recorded twice, first with music only, and then with music and vocal together. For example, if you purchase a CD+G disc containing four songs, tracks one through four will have the music only without vocals, and tracks five through eight will have the same four songs recorded with music on the left channel and the vocal tracks on the right channel. If you wish to sing along “solo” without any other vocals, you should select tracks one through four (for example). If you wish to sing a “duet” or be part of a group, select tracks five through eight (for example) that contain both the music and vocals.

MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:

“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone comes too close to the speaker(s). To avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone as far away from the speakers as the microphone cable will allow. If you must bring the microphone close to the speakers, such as when you are changing a disc or adjusting one of the other controls on the front of the unit, set the microphone ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

Insert a CD+G disc. Insert the microphone into the MIC jack(s), or use the supplied wireless microphone. Make sure the unit is connected to a TV or TV and stereo as shown on pages 6 through 8.

Press the Play/Pause ( ) button to start CD/CD+G playback. If connected to a TV and using a CD+G disc, the image and lyrics will appear on the TV.

Adjust the ECHO control to add an echo effect to your voice. The ECHO control is variable so add as much or as little reverb as desired.

Rotate the POWER/VOCAL control to the VOCAL OFF position to hear the instruments and vocals.. Rotate the POWER/VOCAL control to the VOCAL ON position to mute the vocals as soon as you start singing into the mic. When you stop singing, the vocals are automatically unmuted. IMPORTANT: This feature only works with multiplex CDs

Adjust the MIC VOLUME control as desired. Increasing this control will increase the volume of the microphone.

Sing or talk into the

microphone and you will hear both the CD+G and the microphone.

Caring for Compact Discs

• 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 compact 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 logo 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 when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.

• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
