CONNECTIONS
Caution:
To avoid electrical shock, do
not connect the system to AC power un-
til all other connections are complete.
CONNECTING
MICROPHONES
The system has two microphone jacks
so you can use the supplied microphone
to sing along to your favorite recordings,
and connect an additional microphone
for duets or lead and background vocals.
The additional microphone must have a
1
/
4
-inch plug and an ON/OFF switch. To
help prevent feedback, we recommend a
unidirectional microphone. (
RadioShack
carries a wide variety of microphones
.)
To connect either one or two micro-
phones, first rotate the
MIC 1
and
MIC 2
volume controls counterclockwise
to
MIN
.
If you connect only one microphone,
plug it into the jack
directly in front of the
MIC 1
volume control.
If you add a sec-
ond microphone, plug it
into the jack di-
rectly in front of the
MIC 2
volume
control.
CONNECTING TO AN
AUDIO SOURCE
You must connect an audio source
(such as a CD player or stereo system)
to the karaoke system, so you can sing
along with the music.
Connect the audio source’s stereo out-
put jacks to the karaoke system’s
CD
or
TAPE IN R
and
L
jacks, according to the
type of audio source, using the supplied
cable. Use the white plug for the left
connection and the red plug for the right
connection.
Note:
You can connect the karaoke to
both a CD and a tape audio source at
the same time. However, the karaoke
only plays one source at a time. (See
“Controls” on Page 7.)
If the audio source does not have AUX
OUT jacks, but has a headphone output
jack (such as is often found on a porta-
ble tape player or CD player), use a
shielded Y-adapter to connect it to the
karaoke. (RadioShack carries a wide va-
riety of Y-adapters.) Connect the Y-
adapter’s single-plug end to the audio
source’s headphone jack, and connect
the Y-adapter’s two phono plugs to the
karaoke’s
CD
or
TAPE IN R
and
L
jacks.
If you connect a second audio source,
you need an additional audio patch ca-
ble. (RadioShack carries a wide variety
of audio cables.)
