Disposal of packaging The packaging protects the device from transport damage. The packaging materials have been selected in accordance with their environmental friendliness and disposal attributes, and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging to the material cycle conserves raw materials and re- duces the amount of waste that is generated. Dispose of packaging material that is no longer needed in accordance with applicable local regulations. NOTE ► If possible, keep the device’s original packaging during the warranty period so that the device can be packed properly for returning in the event of a warranty claim. Requirements for the set-up location For safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the set-up location must fulfil the following requirements: ■ When setting it up, place the device on a firm, flat and horizontal surface. ■ Do not place the device in a hot, wet or extremely damp environment or in the vicinity of flammable materials. ■ Only operate the device in locations with adequate ventilation. ■ The surfaces of furniture may possibly contain components that could affect the device’s rubber pads and soften them. If necessary place a cover under the device’s pads. Audio/video connection NOTE ► The device can be operated with one or two microphones. ► When connecting additional devices (DVD player, TV, etc.) please follow the instructions in the respective operating instructions. ♦ Connect the audio signal for the accompanying music source (e.g. a DVD player) using one of the supplied audio/video connection cables to the AUDIO INPUT sockets (L = left channel , R = right channel ). If the accompanying music source only has a SCART output, you can use the supplied SCART/cinch adapter “OUT” . Use the coloured markings on the adapter and cable connections as an orientation aid. ♦ Connect the video signal of the accompanying music source to the VIDEO INPUT socket . The video signal is used to display the song lyrics.57 SKES 2 A1

♦ Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT socket to the video input of a television to allow the singer(s) to read the song lyrics. ♦ Connect the AUDIO OUTPUT sockets of the device (L = left channel , R = right channel ) either to the audio input of the television or a special ampli- fier system (Hi-Fi system, PA, or similar). Using an amplifier system is sure to produce a better sound quality. If the television only has a SCART input, you can use the supplied SCART/cinch adapter “IN” . Use the coloured markings on the adapter and cable connections as an orientation aid. ♦ Connect the supplied microphones to the inputs MIC1 and MIC2 . Their signals correspond to the left and right audio outputs. Electrical connection ■ Before you connect the device, compare the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the mains adapter nameplate with that of the intended power source. This data must agree in order to avoid damaging the product. ■ Make sure that the mains adapter connection cable is not damaged and is not routed over hot surfaces and/or sharp edges. ■ Insert the connection cable plug into the power supply at the rear of the device. Ensure that the power cable is not stretched tightly or kinked. ■ Do not allow the cable to dangle over edges (trip wire effect). ■ Do not place the device, furniture or any other objects on the cable. Do not kink the cable or knot it and do not connect it to other cables. Never wrap the cable tightly around other objects otherwise the conductors inside the cable could break and cause a malfunction.58 SKES 2 A1

Handling and use This section provides you with important information on handling and using the device. Switching on and off After connecting the device to the power supply, press the POWER button to switch on the device. The operation LED above the button lights up. Press the button again to switch off the device. The LED indicator goes out. To preserve the environment and for reasons of safety, you should disconnect the mains adapter when the device is not in use. If the device does not register any microphone signal for two hours, it will automati- cally switch into standby mode. Any microphone signal after this will not reacti- vate the device. To switch the device back on, press the POWER button twice. In standby mode, there will be no output of the connected audio signal from the accompanying music source. When the device is switched off, the connected audio signal from the accom- panying music source will continue to be transmitted to the output of the con- nected device. Initial operation ♦ Set the volume control for the accompanying music MUSIC VOL to the middle setting – you will notice a click. ♦ Switch on the television and any connected amplification device and set these to a moderate overall volume level. ♦ Turn the microphone controllers MIC1 and MIC2 and also the ECHO control anti-clockwise as far as they will go. ♦ Insert the supplied karaoke DVD and start playback. ♦ Switch the on/off switch for the microphone signal for the microphone being used to the ON position and start singing. Turn the corresponding microphone control and/or slowly to the right until you are happy with the volume ratio between the accompanying music and your singing. To adjust this ratio, you can also use the volume control for the accompany- ing music MUSIC VOL . Turn this dial clockwise to increase the volume of the accompanying music. Turn the dial anticlockwise to decrease the volume. ♦ Set the desired volume on the television or amplifier.59 SKES 2 A1

♦ If required, you can now also turn the ECHO controller clockwise to add an echo effect to your singing. ♦ Some digital televisions add a slight delay to the sound signal which can be distracting for the singer. If this happens, either use a different television or use a hi-fi system to output the sound. Cleaning DANGER Danger to life due to electric current! ► Remove the mains adapter from the power socket before starting to clean the device. CAUTION Damage to the device! ► To avoid irreparable damage, ensure that no moisture penetrates into the device whilst it is being cleaned. ► Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning materials. These can damage the surfaces of the appliance. Cleaning the housing ■ Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a little mild detergent.60 SKES 2 A1

Troubleshooting This section contains important information on fault localisation and rectification. Follow the instructions to avert hazards and damage. Fault causes and rectification The following table will help with localising and remedying minor malfunctions: Defect Possible cause Remedy You hear no sound. The mains adapter is not connected. Connect the mains adapter to the power socket. The socket is not supplying any power. Check the house fuses. The volume control is set to minimum. Increase the playback volume. Other connected devices are switched off or their volume controls are set to minimum. Switch on all involved devices and check their volume controls. The device has switched off after not being used for two hours. Press the POWER button twice to switch it back on. You can here the karaoke music but no singing. The volume controls MIC1 and/or MIC2 are set fully to the left. Turn the control(s) clockwise. The switch on the microphone is set to the OFF position. Move the switch to the ON position. No picture/sound on the television when using the SCART/ cinch adapter. You have connected the adapt- ers the wrong way round. The SCART adapter labelled “IN” must be used for the television and the adapter labelled “OUT” for the karaoke source. Delayed sound and/ or picture playback. With some televisions there is a delay in the signal pro- cessing. This is not a fault with the karaoke set. Use a different television or use a hi-fi system to output the sound. NOTE ► If you cannot solve the problem using any of the aforementioned methods, please contact the Customer Service department.61 SKES 2 A1
