Operation
You can start singing after making a few settings. Switch the Silver-
Crest TM-220 on with the On/Off button. The orange Power LED
lights up. First set the music volume control to the neutral centre posi-
tion. The correct position can be felt by a slight locking resistance. If
the music is too loud or too quiet in comparison to your voice later on,
you can re-adjust it by turning this control. Turning the control from
the centre position to the right amplifies the signal which may lead to
distortion when using a sensitive amplifier. First turn the Echo control
to the left as far as possible. This will disable any echo. When re-
quired, you can turn this knob to the right to adjust the echo length for
your voice. Use the microphone gain controls to adjust the micro-
phone level to your voice. Start by turning the control as far to the left
as possible. Switch on your TV set or amplifier, select the required
master volume, and then set the microphone to "on". Now start sing-
ing into the microphone and turn the corresponding microphone gain
control to the right until your voice is loud and clear but without any
distortion. During the sound check you should already sing loudly, as
you will have to accompany the music later on. If the total volume of
music plus voice is too high or too low, adjust it on your TV set or ste-
reo system. The settings on the mixer are only used to adjust the cor-
rect music/voice volume balance. Now all you need is the background
music. Insert the supplied karaoke DVD into your DVD player and se-
lect the desired song with the arrow buttons. For each song you can
toggle between the karaoke version (without voice) and vocal version
by pressing the arrow buttons on your DVD player and highlighting
the corresponding field on the menu. Music playback starts and the
song lyrics appear on the TV screen. A coloured progress bar shows
you the point where the song is currently being played so you do not
miss your cue. If the song includes an instrumental part, this is also
indicated by a corresponding text and coloured progress bar.
