IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SETTING UP MICROPHONES
Common problem 1…
“The microphones are too quiet compared to the music ” –this can usually be easily solved by
adjusting the music & microphone levels, please follow the steps below…
1. Turn the microphones volume up to full using the remote
2. Turn the music down to volume 6 (this is roughly 50% of max volume)
3. Insrease the volume on your TV, you may have to turn it up higher than you normaly
would to allow for the reduced music volume level on the MKP100.
Hopefully your microphones should now appear much louder compared to the music, you can
keep adjusting the music, microphone & TV volumes to get the perfect balance between all three.
If your microphones are not working at all or the cables are broken, please contact us and we will
send you a replacement microphone/cable.
Common problem 2…
“I’m getting an echo / delay / latency on the microphones”
Some modern TV’s have simulated surround sound features such as movie mode, sports mode etc,
which whilst great for movies & watching TV, can cause problems when processing the sound from
a microphone as it causes a delay between when you sing, and when that sound comes out of your
TV. To solve this you need to access the sound settings on your TV and disable any surround sound
modes. You can also try turning the echo down via the MKP remote. We also recommend if
possible connecting the MKP100 (or any karaoke player) to your TV using the red/white/yellow
RCA cables included rather than HDMI, as HDMI is a digital signal which takes TV’s some time to
process, often causing a delay from the microphones. This delay can be exaggerated if your TV is
connected to a sounbdar or surround sound system due to the processing time required to receive
the audio signal from the MKP100, through the TV and out to the soundbar.
The only way to remove this delay entirely is to have a separate soundbar/speakers purely for
karaoke, which connect directly to the MKP100 therefore removing the TV processing delay.

the player to display NO DISC on the display window. Future media and disc formats maybe

required these can be configured under SETUP.
Handling and cleaning discs
When handling discs always hold them from their edges and/or by the circle in the centre.
Never write or stick labels to any surface of the disc as this can unbalance, scratch or
damage the disc. Do not bend or press the disc or expose it to direct sunlight. Store discs in
a clean and dry environment. After use return the disc to its packaging, do not transport or
move the player with discs still inside, as they can dislodge and/or damage the reader. Discs
can be cleaned using a soft cloth, always wipe from the centre towards the edge, do not
clean with any other cleaning solutions unless it’s specifically made for CD’s.
Power Cord
Handle the power cord by its plug only. Do not unplug the power cord by yanking or pulling
on the cord. Touching or unplugging the cord with wet hands may lead to an electric shock
or a short circuit. If the cord becomes damaged or its wires become exposed, please replace
as soon as possible in order to prevent an electric shock or fire. It is advised that you
regularly check the cord to ensure its functioning properly.

**Please Note” If you are getting an “UNSUPPORTED FORMAT” error when trying to play an MP4 file, this

or even easier is to convert your MP4 files to AVI format. This is an easy process that can be done using free
software. Do a Google search for “ANY VIDEO CONVERTER” which is a great little tool for converting files.
Using the Microphones

or decreased using the microphone volume dial on the front of the player or on the remote

enhance the vocal you may wish to add more or less echo, this can be done via the remote.
