General Description:

This karaoke amplifier in 43cm version fits easily between any audio set that is made up from separate units. The amplifier features microphone inputs on the front panel for use with karaoke.

Connections:

Unpack the amplifier and place it in such a way that you can easily access the rear panel to make the connections. Connect the source units to the amplifier via a stereo RCA lead that you plug into the inputs (40-42).

If you have a source unit fitted with a 5.1 decoder, you can connect it to the DVD/AC-3 input (43-48). According to your source, you will need either a SCART - 6 x RCA lead or 3 RCA stereo leads.

After connecting the source units, connect the speakers to the screw terminals (50-54). Refer to fig. 4 for the set up of the speaker boxes. Observe the + and - side of the speakers, leads and amplifier. The active subwoofer has to be connected to the RCA output S.W (49).

The amplifier is now ready for use. Insert the plug (55) into the wall outlet and press the On/Off switch (11) to switch the unit on.

Controls and operation:

After switching the amplifier on, you can select the required audio source via the buttons AC-3/ VCD/ CD and AUX (23-26). The names of these buttons are the same as those of the inputs on the rear panel. If you press the button AUTO (3, the amplifier switches automatically over to the input signal.

The volume is set via the volume control (6). The high and low frequencies are set via the buttons + and - (27 & 28). The balance between left and right is set via the buttons L and R (29). If you want to mute the sound up to zero, press the MUTE button (2). You can switch the loudness on and off via the LOUD button. This option ensures a better balance between the various tones.

Depending on the number of boxes that you have connected and your personal taste, you can select the boxes you wish to use via the buttons 2CH / 3CH and 5CH (15). In all cases, if you have connected a subwoofer, this will always be active.

The volume of the subwoofer channel, the two rear speakers and the centre speaker can be set via the + and - buttons (11 - 14). To make use of the pre-programmed settings, you can press one of the DSP buttons (10).

If you wish to use one (or two) microphone(s), connect them to the 6.35mm jack sockets (7 & 8) on the front panel of the amplifier. Set the volume of the microphone via the button MIC. VOL (5). The high frequencies (20), the low frequencies (21) and the echo (19) are controlled via the buttons + and -. Press SPEECH (4) to change the tone of the voice. Set the delay to the required number of milliseconds 24 / 48 / 72 or 96. Press the button OK (22) to determine if you want to hear the sound from the microphone or not

All information re the settings and selections is clearly displayed on (9). Press the MODE button (16) to display the sound level on the VU-meters.
