Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,
we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing
damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
To protect your product from a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. POWER LINES
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point
of cable entry as practical.
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

POWER SOURCE
AC:
Use the AC polarized line cord included with the unit for
operation on AC power. Insert into a conveniently located AC
outlet having 120V, 60Hz.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help
minimize the possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does
not fit into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide
blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician
replace the obsolete outlet.
OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS
If you are using special CD+G (Graphics) discs in this portable Karaoke system, you can connect this unit to
an external television set in order to see the On Screen Graphics that are recorded on CD+G Karaoke discs
on an external TV, as well as the built-in monitor. To see the on screen graphics recorded on the CD+G, make
sure the CDG/CAMERA switch on the rear of the unit is set to the CDG position.
The video cable has yellow RCA type plugs on each end. Please note that your TV set must have an RCA

COMPACT
portable Karaoke system to your TV’s coaxial antenna terminal.
DIGITAL AUDIO
GRAPHICS
Also note that On Screen lyrics are only available on special Karaoke compact discs that bear the
CD+G mark.
Many newer TV sets have a set of Video and Stereo Audio jacks on the front panel for quick and easy
connections without having to turn the TV set to gain access to the jacks on the back panel. If your TV set has
such front panel A/V jacks, we suggest that you use those jacks to connect your portable Karaoke.
After connecting the Video Out jack on this portable Karaoke to the Video In jack on your TV with the included
video cable, you have the following three choices:
1. Listen to the sound from the built-in speakers in this portable Karaoke system. In this case, no external
audio connections are required.
2. If your TV has stereo audio input jacks, you can connect the Audio Out jacks on the back of this unit to the
Audio In jacks on your TV. The stereo audio connection cable is included. In this case, the lyrics from the
CD+G disc will appear on your TV screen and/or monitor and the sound from the disc will be heard from
your TV speakers.

microphone and you will hear both the CD+G and the microphone.
IMPORTANT: This feature only
works with multiplex CDs.
NOTE: The Program and Repeat features on a CD+G CD operate the same as with standard CD.
INFORMATION ABOUT CD+G KARAOKE DISCS:
CD+G Karaoke discs are designed specifically for playback in special CD players that include a CD+G decoder, such as
this unit. These discs contain the lyrics to each song and the lyrics will appear on your TV screen, line by line, as the disc
is playing. Usually the words on the screen will change color in time with the music to help you sing along at the proper
tempo, even if you do not know the song.
Most CD+G Karaoke discs have all of the songs recorded twice, first with music only, and then with music and vocal
together. For example, if you purchase a CD+G disc containing four songs, tracks one through four will have the music
only without vocals, and tracks five through eight will have the same four songs recorded with music on the left channel
and the vocal tracks on the right channel.
If you wish to sing along “solo” without any other vocals, you should select tracks one through four (for example). If you
wish to sing a “duet” or be part of a group, select tracks five through eight (for example) that contain both the music and
vocals.
NOTE: Make sure the BALANCE control is set to the center position so you can hear both the vocal and music tracks at
an equal level.
MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:
“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone comes too close to the speaker(s). To
avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone as far away from the speakers as the microphone cable will allow. If
you must bring the microphone close to the speakers, such as when you are changing a disc or adjusting one of the
other controls on the front of the unit, set the microphone ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Caring for Compact Discs
• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact disc
only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact
with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact
disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry
cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to
clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD
cleaning kit.
• If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the
compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged
(scratched).
• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines
from the center of the compact disc to the outer edge
of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
A
Z
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo as shown here.
Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play properly.
• Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures, or dust, etc.
Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc.
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink may
damage the surface.
