Operation
You can start singing after making a few settings. Switch the Silver-
Crest SKS 15 A1 on with the On/Off button. The orange Power LED
lights up.
First set the music volume control to the neutral centre position. The
correct position can be felt by a slight locking resistance.
If the music is too loud or too quiet in comparison to your voice later
on, you can re-adjust it by turning this control. Turning the control
from the centre position to the right amplifies the signal which may
lead to distortion when using a sensitive amplifier.
First turn the Echo control to the left as far as possible. This will disa-
ble any echo. When required, you can turn this knob to the right to
adjust the echo length for your voice.
Use the microphone gain controls to adjust the microphone level to
your voice. Start by turning the control as far to the left as possible.
Switch on your TV set or amplifier, select the required master volume,
and then set the microphone to "on".
Now start singing into the microphone and turn the corresponding mi-
crophone gain control to the right until your voice is loud and clear but
without any distortion.
During the sound check you should already sing loudly, as you will
have to accompany the music later on. If the total volume of music
plus voice is too high or too low, adjust it on your TV set or stereo
system.
The settings on the mixer are only used to adjust the correct mu-
sic/voice volume balance.
Now all you need is the background music. Insert the supplied karao-
ke DVD into your DVD player and select the desired song with the
arrow buttons. For each song you can toggle between the karaoke
version (without voice) and vocal version by pressing the arrow but-
tons on your DVD player and highlighting the corresponding field on
the menu. Music playback starts and the song lyrics appear on the TV
screen. A coloured progress bar shows you the point where the song
is currently being played so you do not miss your cue. If the song in-
cludes an instrumental part, this is also indicated by a corresponding
text and coloured progress bar.
