PLAYING A CD+G (COMPACT DISC + GRAPHICS) KARAOKE DISC
Y
ou can listen to a CD+G karaoke disc. CD+G discs combine the recorded music with an additional video
track that displays the song lyrics on a television screen. As the song plays, the words to be sung are
highlighted in a different color on most CD+Gs.
OPERATION (CONTINUED)
NOTE: The Program and Repeat features on a CD+G disc operate the same as with standard CDs.
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.
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 speakers as the
microphone cable will allow. If you must bring the microphone close to the speakers, 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.
Insert a CD+G disc. Insert the
microphone(s) into the MIC
jack(s). Make sure the unit is
connected to a TV or TV and
stereo as shown on pages 6 and
7.

When the AUTO VOICE feature is
activated, the vocals on a
multiplex recording are muted as
soon as the singer begins singing
into the microphone. When the
singer stops singing, the vocals
are automatically unmuted. Adjust
the AUTO VOICE control for the
best balance between playback
and microphone levels.
IMPORTANT: This feature only
works with multiplex CDs.
