Audio/Video Controller
Description
The extremely versatile 4 channel Audio/Video Controller transforms audio signals from the CD player,
microphones, background music equipment (tuner, tape, etc.), and other sound processors/equipment/
systems, into signals for the Power Amplifier. Also, it has video and audio relays for interfacing your video
requirements (karaoke, Video CD’s, TV shows, etc.).
It has AVC (automatic volume control) to correct varying recording levels, and tone control via 5-band
equalizers.
All adjustments and options are programmable and retained in the CCC.
Microphones
Rowe microphones or low-level balanced/unbalanced microphones can be used. Up to 3 microphones can
be connected and simultaneously used for paging and/or karaoke. Each microphone can be routed to any
or all outputs. Factory setting sets all microphones for paging and routes all microphones to all outputs.
If a microphone is used for paging and music is playing the music volume is reduced at least 6 dB. The music
volume can be reduced more by lowering the numbers programmed in menu items 900 – 903, mic volume
override. The mic volume override number range is 0 to 63, and factory setting is 33.
Background Music (BGM)
The phonograph goes to BGM mode after all phonograph selections are played. In BGM mode music can
be provided by an external BGM unit (tapes, tuner, CD’s, etc.).
To use an external stereo BGM unit: connect to jacks marked STEREO A (BGM) INPUT, set menu
item 90994 BGM SELECT IN to 4, and set menu item 909991 BGM MUT to 11111111.
To use an external mono BGM unit: connect to jack marked MONO C (BGM) INPUT, set menu item
90994 BGM SELECT IN to 1, and set menu item 909991 BGM MUT to 11111111.
BGM, AUTOPLAY, and PAID PLAY Volume
As shipped from the factory, the volume control treats AUTOPLAY, external BGM, and PAID PLAY the same.
Menu item 96 allows PAID PLAY volume to be separate from AUTOPLAY and external BGM volume, or
AUTOPLAY and external BGM volume to be locked at a volume. Menu item 908 sets a max volume level for
AUTOPLAY and external BGM.
Karaoke Controls
This phonograph has the audio components for Karaoke. Just add microphones, and install a Rowe CDG or CDV
decoder kit compatible with the new electronics, for a complete Karaoke solution. The kit instructions tell how to
setup and use the controls.
