Dear Customer:  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One  
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most  
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against  
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,  
we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing  
damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged  
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

POWER SOURCE  
AC:  
Use the AC polarized line cord included with the unit for  
operation on AC power. Insert into a conveniently located AC  
outlet having 120V, 60Hz.  
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help

OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS  
If you are using special CD+G (Graphics) discs in this Karaoke system, you can connect this unit to an  
external television set in order to see the On-Screen Graphics that are recorded on CD+G Karaoke discs on  
an external TV, as well as the built-in monitor. Use the MONITOR switch to turn the built-in monitor ON or  
OFF; the external TV will automatically display the On-Screen Graphics when connected.  
The video cable has yellow RCA type plugs on each end. Please note that your TV set must have an RCA  
type Video Input jack in order to view the CD+G lyrics on your TV screen. You cannot connect this portable  
COMPACT  
Karaoke system to your TV’s coaxial antenna terminal.  
Also note that On-Screen Graphics are only available on special Karaoke compact discs that bear  
the CD+G mark.  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
GRAPHICS  
Many newer TV sets have a set of Video and Stereo Audio jacks on the front panel for quick and  
easy connections without having to turn the TV set to gain access to the jacks on the back panel. If your TV  
set has such front panel A/V jacks, we suggest that you use those jacks to connect your portable Karaoke  
system.  
After connecting the Video Out jack on this Karaoke system to the Video In jack on your TV with the included  
video cable, you have the following three choices:  
1. Listen to the sound from the built-in speaker in this Karaoke system. In this case, no external audio  
connections are required, just the video connection.  
2. If your TV has stereo audio input jacks, you can connect the Audio Out jacks on the back of this unit to the  
Audio In jacks on your TV. In this case, the lyrics from the CD+G disc will appear on your TV screen and/or  
monitor and the sound from the disc will be heard from your TV speakers.

from this portable Karaoke system to a single mono channel for connection to your mono TV.  
3. You can connect the Audio Out jacks from this portable Karaoke system to the Aux In or Audio In jacks of  
your home stereo system to hear the sound through your home stereo speakers. Follow the instructions for  
your home stereo system to select the device connected to the external jacks as the audio source.

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  
monitor and/or external 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.  
MICROPHONE FEEDBACK:  
“Feedback” is a howling or screeching sound that occurs when the microphone(s) comes too close to the  
speaker. To avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone(s) as far away from the speaker as the  
microphone cable(s) will allow. If you must bring the microphone(s) close to the speaker, such as when you  
are changing a disc or adjusting one of the other controls on the front of the unit, set the microphone(s)  
ON/OFF switch(es) to the OFF position.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Caring for Compact Discs  
• Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact disc  
only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact  
with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.  
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact  
disc label.  
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free,  
dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to  
clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).  
• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer  
edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.  
Z
COMPACT  
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logos as  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
GRAPHICS  
shown here. Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play  
properly.  
• Compact Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged  
exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the compact disc.  
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink,  
may damage the surface.  
Cleaning the Unit  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.  
• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution  
when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.  
• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
