Compliance with these requirements provides a reasonable level of assurances that your use of this product in a residential environment will not result in harmful interference with other electronic devices. This equipment generates/uses radio frequencies and, if not installed and used according to the instructions found in the owner's manual, may cause interference harmful to the operation of other electronic devices. Compliance with FCC regulations does not guarantee that interference will not occur in all installations. If this product is found to be the source of interference, which can be determined by turning the unit "Off" and "On", please try to eliminate the problem by using one of the following measures:

Relocate either this product or the device that is being affected by the interference.

Use power outlets that are on different branch (circuit breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line filter(s).

In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate/reorient the antenna. If the antenna lead-in is 300-ohm ribbon lead, change the lead-in to coaxial type cable.

If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory results, please contact your local retailer authorized to distribute Vocopro products. If you can not locate the appropriate retailer, please contact Vocopro, 1728 Curtiss Court, La Verne, CA 91750.

CAUTION:

READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.

4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the set, contact your dealer.

5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation. Do not interfere with its proper ventilation; this will cause the internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.

Listening For A Lifetime

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. VocoPro 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 a higher volume 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.
• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.

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.

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.

Some common decibel ranges:

Level	Example
30	Quiet library, Soft whispers
40	Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic
50	Light traffic, Normal Conversation
60	Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine
70	Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant
80	Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.

The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:

Level	Example
90	Subway, Motorcycle, Truck traffic, Lawn Mower
100	Garbage truck, Chainsaw, Pneumatics drill
120	Rock band concert in front of speakers
140	Gunshot blast, Jet plane
180	Rocket launching pad

When top mounting, make sure you have at least 2 rack-spaces of depth available.

Getting Connected

Installation

After you have completed mounting your KJ-6000, it is time to make all the necessary connections to your pre-existing devices to create a complete system. To get connected, follow the easy connection instructions below:

Connecting Phono Sources

(a) Connect the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks of the PHONO player (red and white RCA) to either of the CD1/PH1 or CD2/PH2 AUDIO INPUT jacks (also red and white RCA) on the KJ-6000. NOTE: Ensure that the CD/PH TOGGLE button is set to PH and not CD on the connected channel.

Phono Sources

PHONO 2
PHONO 1

Connecting Line-level Audio Sources (CD Player, MP3 Players, etc.)

(b) To make an analog connection, connect the left and right AUDIO OUTPUT jacks of the external device, such as a CD player, to the left and right AUDIO INPUT jacks of the receiving channel on the KJ-6000.

Line-Level Audio

CD PLAYER 2
CD PLAYER 1

Getting Connected cont...

Connecting A/V Sources (CDG, DVD, VCD Players, etc.)

(c) Connect the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks of the AV source player (red and white RCA) to either of the AV1/AV2 AUDIO INPUT jacks (also red and white RCA) on the KJ-6000.

Connecting Video Output to a TV

The KJ-6000 has two VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, both of which output the active video source. Up to two TV's can be connected.

(e) Connect an RCA video cable from the desired VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the KJ-6000 to the VIDEO INPUT jack on the TV. Some TV's will require that you manually switch the TV to the VIDEO INPUT mode. Other TV's will automatically switch to the video mode when they detect a video signal at the Video input jack. On most TV's the jack is labeled AUX or VIDEO.

Video to TV

Getting Connected cont...

Connecting Output to an External Sound System, Mixer or Recording Device

The KJ-6000 has three pairs of AUDIO OUTPUTS:

MASTER OUT 1: This OUTPUT is for connecting the KJ-6000 directly to the INPUT of a power amplifier, receiver, pre-amp or mixer. Using an RCA cable (or other cable depending on your pre-existing equipment), make connections from the MASTER OUT 1 to the AUDIO INPUTS of your external device.

MASTER OUT 2: This OUTPUT is a secondary MASTER OUT to MASTER OUT 1. Connect it in the same fashion as described above, but to an additional external device.

RECORD OUT 1: This OUTPUT is for connecting directly to a recording device. Using an RCA cable (or other cable depending on your recording device), make connections from the RECORD OUT 1 to the AUDIO INPUTS of your recording device.

External System

Connecting Microphones to the KJ-6000

Digital Echo

Customizing Digital Echo settings

When using Digital Echo, you can customize the effect by adjusting the ECHO, REPEAT and DELAY controls. First set the ECHO level control to 5. Then customize the effect with the REPEAT and DELAY level controls. REPEAT adjusts the interval repetition of the echo effect. As more REPEAT is applied, more echo intervals will be heard when using it and vice versa. DELAY adjusts length of each interval. As more DELAY is applied, there will be more "space" between the starting and ending point of each echo. When the Digital Echo effect is customized, adjust the ECHO level control as you would a master level control.

Vocal Cancel/Partner/Elimination

Utilizing Vocal Cancel Modes

VOCAL CANCEL will cancel out the vocal layer of a track on multiplexed Karaoke media, while letting the background music through. VOCAL PARTNER mode is similar to an "auto-pilot" mode. In this mode, the vocal layer will be cancelled only as long there is Mic activity present. When there is no Mic activity present, the vocal layer is brought back in. In other words, when you are singing, the vocal layer is cancelled. And when you are not singing, the vocal layer is brought back in. This mode is commonly used when a solo singer wants to sing a duet, as the "other singer" comes in automatically. Vocal Elimination cancels lead vocals from standard CD's. Remember that this feature will work differently with each disc as the recording technique used differs from CD to CD.

Cueing

Channel Cueing

Channel cueing monitors the input signal(s) from the mix board to the headphones. When channel cueing, you can select as many channels as you like to cue to headphones. To CUE, first make sure the MASTER2/CUE SELECTOR button is set to CUE. Then press the CUE button on each channel that you want cued to the headphones. To REMOVE a channel from being cued, simply depress that channels CUE button. To INCREASE or DECREASE the volume level to headphones, use the Master2/CUE LEVEL control.

Master Cueing

Master Cueing will cue the MASTER OUTPUT to the headphones. This is commonly used to isolate the audio signal to the headphones. Master cueing makes it possible to practice when "audible" music is not permitted i.e. late night practicing at home. To MASTER CUE, make sure the CUE/MASTER button is set to MASTER and adjust the CUE LEVEL control to a desired volume level.
