■ Enjoying Karaoke with
Commercial CDs (Center Cancel)
You can minimize the vocal portions of commercial audio
CDs or audio files and sing these parts yourself.
This is a handy way to enjoy karaoke and practice your
singing with your favorite audio CDs or audio files.
NOTE

quality of some songs.

3. Press the [Function] (Exit) button so the indicator
is lit.

■ Switching VIMA CD-ROM
Recommended Tones
Songs on VIMA CD-ROMs (VIMA TUNES) are programmed

assigned to the RG-3’s Tone buttons, and those Tone buttons
then flash.
When you press a flashing Tone button, the recommended
tone is then selected, enabling you to perform the selected
song using a tone matched to that song as it plays back.
You can set the RG-3 so that the recommended tones are
automatically assigned (On) or not assigned (Off).
→ You can use the Memory Backup function to store these
settings to the RG-3 (p. 73).
