INFORMATION ABOUT CD+G KARAOKE DISCS:
CD+G Karaoke discs are designed specifically for playback in special CD players that include a
CD+G decoder, such as this unit. These discs contain the lyrics to each song and the lyrics will
appear on your TV screen, line by line, as the disc is playing. Usually the words on the screen will
change color in time with the music to help you sing along at the proper tempo, even if you do not
know the song.
Some CD+G Karaoke discs have all of the songs recorded twice, first with music only, and then
with music and vocals together. (This type of recording is called a “Multiplex” recording.) For
example, if you purchase a CD+G disc containing four songs, tracks one through four may have
the music only without vocals, and tracks five through eight might have the same four songs
recorded with music on the left channel and the vocal tracks on the right channel.
NOTE: For Multiplex recordings, make sure the BALANCE control is set to the center position so
you can hear both the vocal and music tracks at an equal level.
MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:
“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone comes too close to
the speaker(s). To avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone as far away from the
speaker(s) as the microphone cable will allow. If you must bring the microphone close to the
speaker(s), such as when you are changing a disc or adjusting one of the other controls on the
front of the unit, set the microphone ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
