Pitch
When playing back a cassette, you can increase or reduce
the playback speed and thus tune it in to the voice. For this,
turn the controller PITCH in the direction MIN resp. MAX.
Using headphones
On the
- output of the karaoke machine you can connect a
headphone with a 3.5 mm jack plug (not supplied). When you
have connected the headphones, the built-in loudspeaker is
disconnected and you will only hear sound through the head-
phones.
Important!
Listening to music with headphones for
long periods and at high sound volume levels can
lead to hearing damage!
CD Operation
The device plays audio CDs (CD-A) and CD+G.Not only
commercially pressed but also CD-R blanks "burnt" on a home
computer are supported. Because of the many different kinds
of blank discs, computer types, operating systems, burning
software and burning processes we are not able to guarantee
that every "burnt" disc will playback faultlessly. Not always
readable are CDs that have been produced for the commer-
cial field.
Interaction with CDs
Every CD is enclosed within a hard-wearing plastic coating
that protects it from external influences. Nonetheless, you
must still always protect the CD against soiling and scratches.
CD players can balance out minor damage on the CD. Large
scratches or other damages can lead to "hangers" or similar
malfunctions.
For details of the correct interaction with CDs, take heed of
the notices on the CD sleeve!
CD+G
CD+G (CD + Graphics, also CDG) is an Audio CD which
contains additional data, such as song texts and/or images,
that is displayed on the screen simultaneously with the music.
Audio CDs with copy protection
As one can learn from the press, the music industry has
developed various copy protection processes to defend
itself from pirate copies. Unfortunately, not all companies
have yet agreed on a universal standard, thus they continually
develop new processes or modify the existing ones. These
newly released Audio CDs then no longer conform to the
normal Audio CD Standard, and it therefore becomes difficult
for the manufacturers of CD players to ensure that their de-
vices can assimilate all of the latest copy protection methods.
In individual cases it can even happen that a few copy-pro-
tected Audio CDs cannot be played back. To eliminate the
possibility of a defect on the device, please test it using an
older Audio CD without copy protection.
The trade press advises returning copy-protected CDs back
to the trade if they cause playback problems, or to ask for an
Audio CD without copy protection.
