FEATURES
Your Optimus CD/Dual-Cassette
Karaoke System is one of the most ver-
satile karaoke systems available. It lets
you be the “star” as you sing along with
your favorite recordings on a CD, a CDG
(a compact disc with a graphic track), a
cassette tape, or a video tape, and hear
your voice with the music through the
powerful built-in speaker.
The karaoke system’s CDG capability is
the latest advancement in karaoke tech-
nology. It lets you connect the karaoke
system to a TV or monitor and read the
lyrics of your favorite tunes as they scroll
by in front of a still video graphic, such
as a picture or drawing related to the
music.
You can sing along without video graph-
ics using special karaoke audio cassette
tapes (such as the one we have includ-
ed to get you started) that let you bal-
ance the volume of the original singer’s
voice and the music tracks. Or, you can
sing along with a regular prerecorded
cassette tape or CD (not supplied).
You can also connect another audio
source to the karaoke system, such as a
stereo VCR, and play a karaoke video
cassette (not supplied).
Note: Additional karaoke CDs, audio
cassettes, and video cassettes are
available by special order through your
local RadioShack store.
Plus, your karaoke system can be used
as a small PA system for speaking at
parties or other gatherings — just plug in
the microphone and turn on the power!

CONNECTIONS
Caution: To avoid electrical shock, do
not connect the system to AC power un-
til all other connections are complete.
CONNECTING
MICROPHONES
The system has two microphone jacks
so you can use the supplied microphone
to sing along to your favorite recordings,
and connect an additional microphone
(not supplied) for duets or lead and
background vocals.
For the best performance, the additional
microphone should be a unidirectional
600-ohm dynamic microphone with a 1/4-
inch (6.35-mm) plug and an ON/OFF
switch. Your local RadioShack store has
a wide selection of microphones.
Before you connect a microphone, al-
ways turn VOLUME to MIN on MIC 1, (and
MIC 2 if you are connecting an additional
microphone).
If you are connecting only one micro-
phone, plug it into MIC 1. If you are add-
ing a second microphone, plug it into
MIC 2.
The system has built-in microphone
holders on either side of the system. To
use a holder, pull it down from the side
of the system, and place the microphone
in the holder’s grip.
CONNECTING OTHER
AUDIO COMPONENTS
You can connect an external audio
source or component to the karaoke
system, so you can sing along with other
audio formats or videos, or hear the
karaoke’s sound from another speaker
or a PA system. To make the connec-
tion, you need optional audio patch ca-
bles (such as Cat. No. 42-2352).
32-1163.fm Page 7 Monday, August 9, 1999 3:07 PM

8
Connecting an External Audio
Source for Input
You can connect another audio source,
such as a stereo VCR or another CD
player, so you can sing along with the
audio source’s sound. Connect the
source’s stereo audio output jacks to the
system’s AUX IN R and L jacks.
Note: If your audio source does not
have AUX OUT R and L jacks, but has
only a headphone or line out jack (such
as on a portable tape or CD player), use
a shielded Y-adapter cord with phono
jacks on each end (such as Cat. No. 42-
2475). Connect the single-plug end to
the audio source’s headphone or line
out jack, and connect the other end’s
two phono plugs to the system’s AUX IN
R and L jacks.
Connecting an External Audio
Component for Output
You can broadcast the karaoke sys-
tem’s sound through an external audio
component such as a PA system ampli-
fier. Connect the external audio compo-
nent’s audio input jacks to the karaoke
system’s AUX OUT R and L jacks.
Connecting an External
Speaker
You can connect an external 20-watt
stereo speaker with 8-ohm impedance
to the system for a stereo effect. Plug
the speaker’s phono plug into EXT. 8
OHM SPEAKER /RIGHT CHANNEL on the
system.
32-1163.fm Page 8 Monday, August 9, 1999 3:07 PM

9
CONNECTING TO A TV
You can connect the CD/CD+G karaoke
system to a TV or monitor and see the
words and images produced by a spe-
cial karaoke video cassette or CD/
CD+G. Plug one end of the supplied ca-
ble into VIDEO OUT and the other end
into your TV’s video in jack.
Note: For TVs that do not have an au-
dio/video input jack, use a video RF
modulator (such as Cat. No. 15-1283).
Connect the RF modulator to VIDEO
OUT and to the TV’s 75-Ohm VHF input
terminal, following the instructions in the
modulator’s owner’s manual.
CONNECTING POWER
When you have made all other connec-
tions, plug your system’s power cord
into a standard AC outlet. The power
standby indicator lights (see “Turning
the System On/Off” on Page 14).
Caution: The supplied power cord has a
polarized plug that fits into the outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
properly, turn it over and try again. Do
not force it.
INSTALLING THE
REMOTE CONTROL’S
BATTERIES
Your karaoke system’s remote control
requires two AA batteries (not supplied)
for power. We recommend alkaline bat-
teries, such as Cat. No. 23-552, for the
best performance and longest life.
32-1163.fm Page 9 Monday, August 9, 1999 3:07 PM

10
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
1. Press the arrow on the battery com-
partment cover and slide the cover
off.
2. Install the batteries in the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
You can use the remote control from up
to 23 feet (7 meters) away from the sys-
tem. If the remote operates erratically or
not at all, replace both batteries.
Cautions:
• Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
• Always remove old or weak batter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
• If you do not plan to use the remote
control for a month or more, remove
the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy elec-
tronic parts.
