SUPPLYINGPOWERTOTHECDG-X3MarkII  
IMPORTANT! Be sure all your components i.e., amplifier, TV monitor, etc.., are  
connected to the CDG-X3 Mark II BEFORE connecting to a power source and  
supplying power to the unit. Be sure to use caution when plugging in any  
electrical appliance. The CDG-X3 Mark II comes with it’s own standard wall  
outlet power cord. It is attached to the back of the CDG-X3 Mark II player unit.  
Plug the power cord into any wall outlet or surge protector.  
QUICK START  
CONNECTINGATELEVISIONMONITOR  
If you will be connecting the CDG-X3 Mark II to a television monitor use the RCA video  
connector wire included. On the back of the player, locate the RCA connector jack labeled  
“VIDEO OUTPUT”, it is color coded in yellow. Connect either end of the RCA connector wire  
to the “VIDEO OUTPUT” jack and the other end to your television monitor. There should be an  
RCA connector jack, just like the one on the back of the player, labeled video input. Connecting  
this wire will enable your television monitor to display the graphics that are encoded on CDG  
Karaoke discs. NOTE: If your television does not have an RCA type connector you may use a  
VCR or an RF Modulator (not included) to connect your monitor. (See “Connection Diagram”  
and “Trouble Shooting Guide” for options.)  
IMPORTANT! Before connecting a microphone, be sure the power is off or the volume is turned  
all the way down. When the microphone is plugged in and the unit is on do not point the  
microphone toward the speakers or leave an unattended microphone too close to the speakers  
when the volume is up. This can create a loud squeal called “feedback” and could possibly  
damage your speakers.  
CONNECTINGAMICROPHONE

2.  
Using a microphone cable, designed for use with most Karaoke  
products, connect a microphone to the end of the cable with the  
“XLR” connector (see diagram).

find the desired location. PLEASE NOTE: When using this feature the words may become jumbled on your TV monitor.  
In this scenario, digital graphics information does not process as rapidly as audio signals. Therefore the video signal will  
have to “catch up” to the audio signal. The screen will “refresh” on it’s own.  
BALANCINGYOURMIX  
1.  
It is best to begin by first setting the music volume at a comfortable level for the room in which you are using your  
CDG X-3 Mark II. The number of people in a room will generally have an effect on the acoustics of a room and how much  
volume you will need.  
2.  
3.  
Once the desired music volume is achieved, test each microphone volume individually by speaking or singing into the  
microphone, holding it approximately two inches away from your mouth.  
Adjust the volume control(s) for each microphone until an equal mix of music and vocals can be heard. Remember to  
allow for vocal variances in each song where it may be necessary to sing louder or softer.

USING EFFECTS  
AND CHANGING THE KEY  
ADDINGBASSORTREBLETOTHEMUSIC  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Locate the small “BASS” and “TREBLE” control knobs on the front of the CDG-X3 Mark II underneath the large  
“MUSIC VOL” knob.  
To add bass tones to the music, turn the “BASS” knob clockwise until you have added the desired amount of bass  
tone to the music. Likewise to remove bass tone turn the knob counter clockwise.  
To add treble tone to the music, turn the “TREBLE” knob clockwise until you have added the desired amount of  
treble tone to the music.  
Note: A bass tone is a “low” “warm” tone. A treble tone is a “higher” and “brighter” sounding tone than a bass tone. How much is added  
or taken out is a matter of personal preference to the listener(s).  
ADDING BASS OR TREBLE TO THE VOCALS  
Located in the back of the unit to the left of the “ECHO” control knob, there are “BASS” and “TREBLE” control knobs. These  
are used to add more bass or treble tones to the vocal signal.  
1.  
To increase the bass tone on the vocal signal turn the “BASS” control knob in a clockwise motion until the desired  
amount of bass is achieved. Increasing the bass tones will give the vocal signal more “warmth”. Likewise to decrease  
amount of bass on the vocal signal, turn in a counterclockwise motion.  
the  
2.  
To increase the treble tones on the vocal signal turn the “TREBLE” control knob in a clockwise motion until the  
desired amount of treble is achieved. Increasing treble tones will give the vocal signal a “brighter” sound. Likewise to  
decrease the amount of treble on the vocal signal, turn in a counterclockwise motion.  
ADDINGEFFECTS(DELAY/ECHO)TOTHEVOCALSIGNAL  
1. The “ECHO” control knob is located on the back of the CDG-X3 Mark II player. (See diagram). Turn the knob in a  
clockwise motion until the desired amount of echo is achieved on the vocal signal. This is usually a preference by the  
singer. The more echo that is used the “thinner” the voice sounds.  
CHANGING THE KEY OF THE MUSIC  
Sometimes a singer would like to sing a particular song but will find it may not be written within a key or range comfortable  
for the singer. In this case you can raise or lower the pitch or key of the music to make it easier to sing, both on a CD/CDG or  
cassette. NOTE: When raising or lowering the key of the music the tempo will remain the same.  
1.  
First locate the Key Control buttons on the front of the CDG-X3 Mark II player. You will find them below the  
“POWER” button on the face of the machine. (See diagram). There are three buttons under which are the words “KEY  
CONTROL”. There is a button for each of the following three functions.  
a. Sharp  
b. Natural  
c. Flat  
Used to raise the pitch or key of the music.

NOTE: Be sure to select the “CDG” button located under the CDG tray before you start. Follow the instructions  
for playing a CD/CDG and select the desired “track” (song), but do not start your song selection yet. Press the “PLAY  
PAUSE” key until the word “PAUSE” appears in the display window.  
Be sure the blank cassette tape is placed in the cassette deck and the cassette door closed.  
TAPE COUNTER  
Set the Tape counter to zero by pushing the “RESET” button located next to the “COUNTER” on the front of the  
unit. This will help you keep track of your place on the tape if you are recording multiple songs but not starting from  
the beginning of the tape.  
Note: If you have rewound the cassette tape all the way to the beginning note that there are a few seconds of “leader” tape at each end  
of the cassette on which you can not record.

position. Note: The “REC” key has a red line on the top instead of a white line.  
View the advancing cassette through the cassette door window and let tape run until it has passed the “leader” tape.  
If it is not visible, allow approximately 10 seconds to let the tape “roll” then locate and press the “PAUSE” key. This  
will stop the cassette from advancing but it will still be in the “record” mode. Leave the “PAUSE” button pressed.

7.  
Begin your CD/CDG song selection making sure your volume and echo controls are adjusted to your liking.  
At the same time, release the “PAUSE” key and the tape will start “rolling”. Your selection and voice is now being  
recorded.  
Note: Be careful not to “thump” the microphone while holding it or while singing. This will create noise that will be noticeable on your  
recording. Tip: When recording be careful not to “pop” the microphone. This means when singing be aware of the “plosive”  
consonants like “P” and “T”. Excessive breath on these consonants will create an undesirable “pop” sound on your recording.

When you have finished recording you can record another selection without repeating step 3 in “TO RECORD WITH THE  
CASSETTE DECK” or “wasting” tape between songs.  
1.  
When your song has finished recording press the “PAUSE” key on the cassette deck. This will stop the tape from  
recording but it will still be in record mode.
