Video CD/Super VCD PBC
menus
Some Video CD/Super VCDs have menus
from which you can choose what you want to
watch. These are called PBC (Playback
control) menus.
You can play a PBC Video CD/Super VCD
without having to navigate the PBC menu by
starting playback using a number button to
select a track, rather than
(play) (or
on
the front panel).
Singing karaoke
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.

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.
