When playing a multiplex audio CD or
multiplex CDG (disc with the vocals on one
channel and the instruments on the other
channel), you can switch the sound to cancel the
vocals and listen only to the instruments from
both speakers. Beside this, you can cancel the
vocal of the stereo disc by using the KARAOKE
PON function.
Press KARAOKE repeatedly.
Each time you press the button, the display
changes cyclically as follows:
KARAOKE PON t MPX L* t MPX R* t
KARAOKE OFF
The “m” lights up in the display when a karaoke
mode is activated.
To sing karaoke of multiplex CD or CDG, select
“MPX R” or “MPX L”.
* – When a disc with MP3 audio tracks is selected, you
cannot select “MPX L” or “MPX R”.
– With some songs, vocals may not be cancelled
when you select “KARAOKE PON”.

“KARAOKE OFF” if the disc is changed or the
function is changed.
