Using the Microphone
By attaching a microphone (not supplied) to the MIC jack, you can
use the System for Karaoke or microphone mixing. You can also
add an echo to the microphone’s sound.
CAUTION:
• Always set the MIC LEVEL control on the Unit to
MIN when connection or disconnecting the mi-
crophone.
• When you will not be the microphone, keep the MIC LEV-
EL control set to MIN, and disconnect the microphone.
Singing Along with Karaoke
The Vocal Masking function lets you use regular tapes, CDs, or
records as sources for Karaoke. When you select Karaoke mode,
the lead vocal volume of the source is reduced, and you can replay
it by singing into the microphones as the music plays.
1 Turn the MIC LEVEL control on the Unit to
MIN.
2 Connect a microphone by plugging it into the
MIC jack.
3 Press the KARAOKE button on the Remote
Control.
The Karaoke indicator ( ) comes on.
4 Starts a source CD, tape, or other equipment.
5 Adjust the volume, as you sing into the
microphone.
To adjust the volume, use the MIC LEVEL control and VOL-
UME control on the Unit or the VOLUME +,- button on the
Remote Control.
To exit Karaoke mode, press the KARAOKE button on the Re-
mote Control again. The Karaoke indicator (
) will go off.
• Avoid using the following source as the playing source for
Vocal Masking, since you cannot get the satisfactory re-
sults.
• 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 dusts, strong echo, a chorus, or
only a few instruments.
