⚠️ CAUTION: Do not connect the unit to a power source other than indicated. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock. Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

Connecting the Microphones

To connect microphones:

1. Align the 3 pins on the bottom of the microphone with the XLR end of the cable and insert until it clicks.
2. Connect the 6.35 mm plug of the cable to the MIC 1 [9] or MIC 2 [3] input connectors on the front of the system.
3. Set the microphone switch to the ON position when ready to use.

? Microphone holsters are located on either side of the system. Flip them down to store the microphones when not in use.

Connecting to a TV

This unit plays CD+G karaoke discs, which contain CD-audio tracks and synchronized lyrics. Connect the system to a TV to view lyrics.

The composite video connection sends a standard-definition video signal to a TV.

1. Connect the yellow plug of the supplied A/V cable [26] to the Yellow: composite video out port on the unit and to the corresponding video input on the TV.
2. Connect the white and red plugs of the supplied A/V cable [24, 25] to the White: audio out (left) and Red: audio out (right) ports on the unit and to the corresponding audio inputs on the TV.

Warnings and Precautions

General Safety:

• CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER (OR BACK) OF THE UNIT. REFER SERVICING ONLY TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
