If treated properly, your Compact Disc + Graphics Karaoke System will provide you with many years of
entertainment. You become the "star" when you sing along with your favorite karaoke music discs. Your
voice will mix with the music and play through the unit's speakers. It will sound as though you are in a
concert with you being the "star".
It's important you take a few moments to read and understand this manual. This small effort will
familiarize yourself with the many features and how to use them to your benefit.
Demo CD+G - the demo CD + G included with this unit contains karaoke favorites any family can sing
to. Each song has a left track and right track for music. Use the balance knob to cut out the lead vocals
so only your voice can be heard. When connected to your TV, the music lyrics will be displayed on your
TV screen. Each word is "swiped" with a different color to indicate when it should be sung. This helps the
singer keep time with the music.
