TO RECORD WITH THE CASSETTE DECK
You can record you voice on the cassette deck while singing with a Karaoke CD/CDG.
1.
NOTE: Be sure to select the “CGD” button located under the CDG tray before you start.
Follow the instructions
for playing a CD/CDG and select the desired “track” (song), but do not start your song selection yet. Press the “PLAY
PAUSE” key until the word “PAUSE” appears in the display window.
2. Be sure the blank cassette tape is placed in the cassette deck and the cassette door closed.
TAPE COUNTER
3. Set the Tape counter to zero by pushing the “RESET” button located next to the “COUNTER” on the front of the
unit. This will help you keep track of your place on the tape if you are recording multiple songs but not starting from
the beginning of the tape.
Note:
If you have rewound the cassette tape all the way to the beginning note that there are a few seconds of “leader” tape at each end
of the cassette on which you can not record.
4. Locate the “REC” and “PLAY” keys of the cassette deck and press them simultaneously until they stay in the down
position. Note: The “REC” key has a red line on the top instead of a white line.
5. View the advancing cassette through the cassette door window and let tape run until it has passed the “leader” tape.
If it is not visible, allow approximately 10 seconds to let the tape “roll” then locate and press the “PAUSE” key. This
will stop the cassette from advancing but it will still be in the “record” mode. Leave the “PAUSE” button pressed.
6. Begin your CD/CDG song selection making sure your volume and echo controls are adjusted to your liking.
7. At the same time, release the “PAUSE” key and the tape will start “rolling”. Your selection and voice is now being
recorded.
Note:
Be careful not to “thump” the microphone while holding it or while singing. This will create noise that will be noticeable on your
recording.
Tip:
When recording be careful not to “pop” the microphone. This means when singing be aware of the “plosive”
consonants like “P” and “T”. Excessive breath on these consonants will create an undesirable “pop” sound on your recording.
TO RECORD ANOTHER SONG
When you have finished recording you can record another selection without repeating step 3 in “TO RECORD WITH THE
CASSETTE DECK” or “wasting” tape between songs.
1. When your song has finished recording press the “PAUSE” key on the cassette deck. This will stop the tape from
recording but it will still be in record mode.
2. When you are ready to begin your next song selection release the “PAUSE” key and the tape wil begin recording.
3. Press “ST/EJ” OR “PAUSE” when finished recording, depending on wheather you want stop or record again.
