Karaoke function
All you need to enjoy karaoke with the TX-SE550 is a dynamic
microphone. The karaoke function can also cancel the vocals on
your favorite songs. The amount of cancellation depends on the
source material. Vocal cancellation is not possible with mono
sources, and also cannot be used when the MULTI-CH INPUT but-
ton is pressed.
Before using the Karaoke function:
Turn down the MASTER VOLUME, MIC LEVEL, and ECHO
LEVEL controls.
1. Connect one or two dynamic microphones to the MIC 1 and
(or) MIC 2 jacks.
If you are connecting two microphones, use those with the same
specifications.

want to use for karaoke.

speaker system.
