operating the unit is the same.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
[For Canadian models]
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS
(POLARIZED)PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE
OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY IN-
SERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
Only multi-voltage models are provided with this
switch. U.S., Canadian, European, U.K., and Aus-
tralian models are not provided with it.
Mains voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127V and 220V
only. Never use this model with 110V setting in Sau-
di Arabia.
The line voltage selector switch is on the rear panel. Before the
model is shipped from the factory, this switch is set to the power
requirements of each destination. Check that it is set properly
before plugging the power cord into the AC wall socket. If the
switch is not properly adjusted to the voltage, or if the place of
residence is changed to an area where the voltage requirements
differ, adjust the selector switch as follows:
1
.
Use amedium-size screwdriver.
2. Insert the screwdriver into the groove on the voltage selector,
and adjust the tip of the arrow so that it points to the printed
voltage value for each area.

INFORMATION TO USER
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions,
may cause interference to radio and television recep-
tion. It has been type tested and found to comply with
the limits for aClass Bcomputing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart Jof Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against such interference in aresidential installa-
tion. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in aparticular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turn-
ing the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•reorient the receiving antenna
•relocate this equipment with respect to the receiver
•move this equipment away from the receiver
•plug this equipment into adifferent outlet so that
equipment and receiver are on different branch cir-
cuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an ex-
perienced radio/television technician for additional sug-
gestions. The user may find the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
helpful:
"How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference
Problems".
This booklet is available from the US Government Print-
ing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402, Stock No.

be used near water -for example, near abathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in awet
basement, or near aswimming pool, etc.
LOCATION —The appliance should be installed in a
stable location.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING -The appliance
should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.
VENTILATION —The appliance should be situated so
that its location or position does not interfere with
its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should not be situated on abed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or,
placed in abuilt-in installation, such as abookcase
or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.
HEAT —The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
POWER SOURCES -The appliance should be
connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION -Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
POLARIZATION -If your purchased product is
provided with apolarized power plug, please read
the following instructions. This product is equipped
with apolarized alternating current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.

•The appliance does not appear to operate normally
or exhibits amarked change in performance.
•The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure
damaged.
SERVICING —The user should not attempt to service
the appliance beyond that described in the
operating instructions. All other servicing should
be referred to qualified service personnel.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -If an outside
antenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
In the U.S.A. section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig.
A.

OPERATING METHOD FOR KARAOKE PLAY
(Tape-recording your vocal with the KARAOKE
play)
•When the MA-9 is connected to acassette deck,
you can tape-record your vocals using acassette deck with the
TAPE PLAY /REC button of the MA-9 at OFF (with the indicator
turned off).
NOTE:
If tape-recording is performed with the STEREO ONE TOUCH
KARAOKE button to ON, it results in monaural recording.
(Microphone)
When using the optional PIONEER DM-V161 microphone,
connect the control mini-plugs to the MIC CONTROL jack.
Pressing the control key button of the microphone changes an
music source to a lower or higher pitch. But the ONCE MORE
button on the microphone is not usable for the MA-9.
(Multiplex source)
This kind of source includes the MULTIPLEX KARAOKE tape,
MULTIPLEX KARAOKE LASER DISC, etc. Generally avocal part
plus its accompaniment (original vocal part) is recorded for the
right channel, and another music source (KARAOKE part) is
recoded for the left channel. Turning the MULTIPLEX BALANCE
knob changes the channel gradually to the original vocals or the
KARAOKE part.
(Howling)
When the sound volume is turned up at the time of using a
microphone, ahowling sound may be heard from the speaker
system. The howling phenomenon occurs because the sounds
played back through the speakers are picked up again by the
microphone and oscillate in the speaker system. In such acase,
hold the microphone further away from the speaker system or
turn down the sound volume of the stereo amplifier. Since
howling may depend on the directional characteristics of the
microphone, changing the direction or position of the microphone
can also improve the situation.
(When not using the MA-9)
Turn off the power. If the power remains on, it may result in
interference.
