Using the Microphones
You can enjoy singing along (Karaoke) and microphone
mixing using a microphone.
IMPORTANT:
• Always set MIC LEVEL to MIN when connecting or
disconnecting the microphone.
• When not using the microphone, keep it disconnected.
Singing along — Karaoke
Karaoke
Karaoke reduces the lead vocal of the playing source, and
allows you to replace it by singing into the microphone as the
music plays.
1
Turn MIC LEVEL to MIN.
2
Connect the microphone (not
supplied) by plugging it into MIC jack.
3
Press KARAOKE on the remote
control.
The karaoke ( ) indicator lights up on the
display.
4
Start playing the source — CD, tape or other
connected component.
5
Turn MIC LEVEL and VOLUME
as you sing into the microphone.
• By pressing REC START/STOP, you can
record your singing along if you want.
(For more details, see page 24.)
To apply an echo to your voice
Press ECHO on the remote control so that the echo
( ) indicator lights up on the display.
Each time you press the button, the echo level changes as

• As the number increases, a stronger echo effect is applied
to your voice.
If howling or squealing (feedback) occurs while using
the microphone
Take the following actions to prevent these noises.
• Adjust MIC LEVEL and VOLUME.
• Avoid pointing the microphone towards the speakers.
When you turn on Karaoke and MPX, you cannot get
the satisfactory results if
• Radio programs — a radio signal is not as reliable as the signals
coming from a tape or CD.
• Monaural sources.
• Poorly dubbed tapes.
• Sources recorded with duets, strong echo, a chorus or only a few
instruments.
• To get the best result, turn off karaoke when MPX is on or turn off
MPX when karaoke is on.
