Singing karaoke
Using the karaoke features you can plug in up to two micro-
phones and mix the sound of your own voice (or two people’s
voices) with a backing track. The backing track can be anything
you like, from a song on the radio, to a dedicated karaoke CD.
1 Set MIC LEVEL to minimum.
2 Plug in the microphone(s).
• If the microphone has an on/off switch, make sure it’s on.
• If you’re using just one microphone, plug it into the
MIC
MAIN
input.
3 Load a karaoke backing disc or tape.
You can also use the radio or a component connected to the
auxiliary inputs as source material for a backing track.
• If you’re using a disc, make sure that you’ve selected the
correct disc to play.
• If you want to play from a track other than the first, select the
track now.
4 To change the mix, press KARAOKE.
Pressing repeatedly switches between these modes:
•

up you get a loud whistling
from the speakers, move the microphone(s) so that it points away
from the speakers.

Note:
• Depending on the microphone level, the sound of the disc may
distort. If this happens, turn down the volume.
