Using the Remote Control
Aim the IR emitter of the remote control at the remote
sensor and then press a key. The remote control will
work within 15 feet of the remote sensor and at an an-
gle less than 30 degrees from the center line.
 Obstacles between the remote control and
the sensor may interfere with the signal.
Direct sunlight, incandescent or uores-
cent lamps, and other strong light sources
may interfere with the signal.
Installing or Replacing Batteries
The remote control requires two (2) “AAA” batteries to
function. Alkaline batteries are recommended.
1. Find the battery compartment door on the back
of the remote control. Press the tab to release the
latch and lift the door up and away from the re-
mote control.
2. Load 2 new “AAA” size batteries into the compart-
ment. Make sure to match the positive (+) and neg-
ative (-) poles of the battery to the markings found
inside the compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
⚠Be sure to match the positive and negative
poles of the battery with the positive and
negative terminals of the battery compart-
ment. Reversed or other improper instal-
lation can damage the device and other
property.
Use only the size and type of batter-
ies specied here. Do not install different
types of batteries together (e.g., alkaline
with carbon-zinc or nickel metal hydride).
Always change batteries at the same time.
Do not mix old and new batteries together.
Always follow directions provided by the
battery manufacturer. Do not charge bat-
teries that are not intended to be re-
charged; doing so can cause the batteries
to overheat and rupture.

www.naxa.com Page 13
⚠Do not incinerate batteries or otherwise
apply heat to them; they may explode or
leak.
Batteries contain chemicals that may be
regulated by your local government. Al-
ways dispose of them properly according to
regulations.
Getting Started
Connecting Power
The unit can be powered with AC or DC power sources,
or the built-in battery.
Using AC Power
Use the included AC power cable to connect the unit to
AC household power.
•Connect the two-pronged end of the cable to a
household power outlet.
•Connect the other end of the cable to the AC power
input connector [30] on the back of the unit.
⚠This unit supports AC 100-240 V power
sources.
Do not connect the unit to a power source
other than that which is indicated here and
on the label as this may result in the risk of
re or electric shock.
Do not handle the power plug with wet
hands. Doing so may cause electric shock.
Using the Battery
The unit can operate on the built-in rechargeable bat-
tery. Use the included AC power cable to charge the
battery.
•The BATTERY indicator [4] will light red while the
battery is charging.
•The BATTERY indicator [4] will light green when the
battery is charged fully.

Page 14 Naxa Electronics
 To ensure optimal performance of the bat-
tery, charge the battery fully before using
it for the rst time. Avoid exhausting the
battery completely.
Using DC Power
Use a DC power adapter (not included) to connect the
player to DC 12 V power sources (e.g., cars, campers,
boats).
Connecting the Microphones
To start using the microphones, use the included cables
to connect them to the system.
1. Align the 3 pins found on the bottom of the mi-
crophone with the XLR end of the cable. Insert the
cable and push until it clicks.
2. Connect the 6.35 mm plug of the cable to the MIC 1
or MIC 2 input connectors found on the front of the
system [16, 17].
3. When you are ready to use the microphones, set
the switch on them to the ON position.
 Microphone holsters can be found on the
back of the system and are a convenient
place to hold the microphones when they
are not in use. Simply ip the holsters
down to use them.
Connecting to a TV
This unit can play DVD, CD+G, and MP3+G karaoke discs.
Karaoke discs typically contain both audio tracks and
synchronized song lyrics. You can connect the karaoke
system to a TV in order to view the lyrics on a larger
screen.
The composite video connection is capable of sending a
standard-denition video signal to a TV.
1. Make the composite video connection with the yel-
low plug of the supplied A/V cable [32].
2. Make the L/R audio connection with the white and
red plugs of the supplied A/V cable [33].

www.naxa.com Page 15
3. Turn on the karaoke system
4. Turn on the TV. Set the active TV input mode to
match the name of the composite video connection
used (some typical names are AV1, AV2, Composite
1, CVBS 1, etc.) Please refer to the documentation
included with your TV to learn more about how to
identify and change the TV input mode.
When the TV input mode is set correctly, you will see
video from the karaoke unit on your TV screen
⚠Disconnect power before making this and
any other connection.
 The Red/White audio connectors may be
used independently of the composite video.
