Using the Microphones
You can enjoy singing along (Karaoke) and microphone
mixing using two microphones.
• The MIC LEVEL control adjustment is valid for both
microphones connected to the MIC 1 and MIC 2 jacks.
IMPORTANT:
• Always set the MIC LEVEL to MIN when connecting
or disconnecting the microphone.
• When you are not using the microphones, disconnect
them.
Singing Along
Vocal Masking
Vocal Masking reduces the lead vocal of the playing source,
and allows you to replace it by singing into the microphones
as the music plays.
On the unit ONLY:
1
Rotate the MIC LEVEL to MIN.
2
Connect the microphone(s) (not supplied) by
plugging it into the MIC 1 and/or MIC 2
jack.
3
Press VOCAL MASKING on the
remote control.
The karaoke indicator ( ) lights up on the
display.
4
Start playing the source — CD, tape, or other
connected component.
5
Rotate the MIC LEVEL and
VOLUME controls as you sing into
the microphone(s).
• By pressing REC START/STOP, you
can record your singing along if you
want. (For more details, see page 21.)
To apply an echo to your voice
Press ECHO on the remote control so that the echo ( )
indicator lights up on the display.
Each time you press the button, the echo level
changes as follows:
ECHO 1 ECHO 2
ECHO OFF
(Canceled)
ECHO 3
As the number increases, a stronger echo
effect is applied to your voice.
If howling or squealing (feedback) occurs while using
the microphone(s)
Take the following actions to prevent these noises.
• Adjust the MIC LEVEL and VOLUME control.
• Avoid pointing the microphone(s) towards the speakers.
• When two microphones are connected, turn off the On/Off switch
on the unused microphone.
If you use the following sources as the playing source for
Vocal Masking, you cannot get satisfactory results
• Radio programs — a radio signal is not as reliable as the signals
coming from a tape or CD.
• Monaural sources.
• Poorly dubbed tapes.
• Sources recorded with duets, strong echo, a chorus, or only a few
instruments.
• Poorly prerecorded tape or CD.
Singing Along with Multiplex Karaoke Discs
