PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving
when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber material
specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However
certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may
cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture.
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small
self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers
everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you place the
product on fine wooden furniture.
GLOSSARY OF KARAOKE
In additional to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products, a
few additional terms are used almost exclusively in karaoke. These terms are meant to
familiarize you with the world of karaoke. The features listed below may not necessarily
apply to the particular model that you have. Following are some brief explanations:
Echo:
Echo adds depth and resonance to a singer's voice, without affecting the music. This
echo is produced by creating minor controlled feedback in the singer's voice.
CDGMs (Compact Disc Plus Graphics Multiplex):
They are CD’s that contain songs that include the lead singer's voice, which can be
removed with a karaoke system that has a balance or multiplex control. The idea is to sing
along with the lead singer or replace the lead singer’s voice with yours. Background vocals
and backup singers are provided.
Automatic Voice Cancel (AVC):
When the AVC function is activated, the vocals on a multiplex recording are eliminated as
soon as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the
vocals on the multiplex recording are automatically re-activated. This useful function is
used primarily during practice sessions while a singer is learning a song. Please note that
the AVC function only works with multiplex recordings and not with standard audio
recordings.
CD+G:
This is an acronym for Compact Disc plus Graphics. You will also see variations CD+G,
and CD+ Graphics. This is a regular CD with information stored on a data track
simultaneous to music. CDG has a video output for simple graphics (not full motion video).
In the case of karaoke, the graphics function is used to store song lyrics, and display the
lyrics in sync with music. In most cases, CDG software displayed lyrics change color as

they are to be sung. A regular television with a Video-In RCA Jack is all that required to
display CDG lyrics.

MAIN OPERATION
Connecting Power
Plug the supplied AC adapter into the DC jack on the side of the unit and connect to a
standard AC wall socket.
Note: When the unit is not operated for long periods of time, unplug the AC adapter from
the unit and wall outlet.
Connecting to your TV
The karaoke system provides a patch cord to give you the option of connecting your unit
to an external audio/video device. The patch cord has three RCA jacks at each end. White
and Red are for left and right audio connections and the Yellow is for video. Modern flat
panel digital TV sets and home music systems are usually equipped with corresponding
color-coded RCA jacks to assist correct connections. Make sure that you have a CD+G
disc in the karaoke system playing when you are making this connection. You will know
you have the proper settings on your TV as soon as you see the lyrics on the screen.

Video connection
Please follow the steps below to display CD+G lyrics on the TV screen:
(1) Locate the color-coded patch cords.
(2) Connect video cable (Yellow) to the VIDEO OUT on the back of the karaoke
system.
(3) Connect the other end of the video cable (Yellow) to the VIDEO/AV INPUT on your
TV.
If your television does not have the required Video Input, you will need a RF modulator
(Radio Frequency Modulator), which connects through your TV Antenna or cable line and
serves as your Video Input.
The RF Modulator can be purchased at almost any consumer electronics retailer. If you
are connecting the video from the karaoke system to a television video input jack, you
must specify the source the TV is to display. Your TV user guide can tell you how to
display the video signal from the 'Video In' jack.
If you don't have the manual for your TV, we suggest calling the TV manufacturer's
customer service department. Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you accurately
how to configure your TV to display the video signal coming from the 'Video Input' jack.
Note: Some projection TV sets do not properly display the standard blue background
used on most CDGs. If the background color is inconsistent or flashing, please try
connecting your karaoke system to a standard CRT/LCD television.
Common ways to configure your TV
♦You karaoke system is designed to connect to your TV. The karaoke system is
constantly sending the video and audio signals to the 'VIDEO OUT' and 'AUDIO
OUT' jacks whenever you play a CD+G disc. So, load a CD+G into your karaoke
system before you start making these connections. You will see lyrics on the TV
screen as soon as you have completed the setup correctly.
♦The setup of your TV is the most difficult part of making the connection for
displaying your lyrics. In most homes, the TV has either a cable connected or
antenna in use. Once you connect your karaoke system to the TV, you must 'tell'
your TV to display the input from the karaoke system instead of the usual input from
the cable or antenna.
♦Check your TV user manual for the easiest way to setup your particular
entertainment system. If you don't have your manual, you can always call your TV
manufacturer for that information or try their website for online assistance. We've
listed below the most common ways of setting up a TV:
(1) In the setup menu for configuring the TV there may be an 'Input Selection'
option where you may choose between 'Cable/Ant.', 'Video 1', or 'Video 2' etc.
as the input source.
(2) Try looking for a 'Video' channel between the highest channel and the lowest
