Singing karaoke (XV-HTD5 only)
Using the karaoke features you can plug in a micro-
phone and mix the sound of your own voice with a
backing track. The backing track can be anything you
like, from a song on the radio, to a dedicated DVD
karaoke disc that displays the lyrics on screen as the
music plays. Tailor the mix by adjusting the micro-
phone level relative to the backing track.
1 Set MIC LEVEL to minimum.
2 Plug in the microphone.
The mic jack is located on the front panel.
• If the microphone has an on/off switch, make sure
it’s on.
3 Load a karaoke backing disc.
You can also use the radio or a component connected to
the auxiliary inputs as source material for a backing
track.
4 To change the mix (CD or VCD only),
press AUDIO.
Pressing repeatedly switches between these modes:
•
STEREO
– Use for backing tracks with no vocals.
•
L
CH
– Left channel only. Use for tracks that have a
vocal recorded in the right channel.
•
R
CH
– Right channel only. Use for tracks that have
a vocal recorded in the left channel.
5 Play the backing track.
6 Adjust the MIC LEVEL to get the sound
you want.
If when you turn the
MIC
LEVEL
up, you get a loud
whistling from the speakers, move the microphone so
that it points away from the speakers.
7 Sing!
Note:
Depending on the microphone level, the sound
of the disc may distort. If this happens, turn down the
volume.
