please read these instructions completely.
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.

Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the appliance.
f.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance–this
indicates a need for service.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your product from a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

microphone and you will hear both the CD+G and the microphone.
IMPORTANT: This feature only
works with multiplex CDs.
NOTE: The Program and Repeat features on a CD+G disc operate the same as with standard CD.
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 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.
NOTE: 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(s) comes too close to the
speaker(s). To avoid microphone feedback, keep the microphone(s) as far away from the speaker(s) as the
microphone cable(s) will allow. If you must bring the microphone(s) 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(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 compact 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 disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
Z
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo as 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.
