Frequently Asked Questions - DVX-668K Vocopro

How do I connect the DVX-668K to my TV?

Use one of the video outputs: RCA composite (yellow), S-Video, Component (Y,Pb,Pr), or SCART. Connect the corresponding cable to the TV input. Then select the correct video output mode using the V-MODE button on the remote.

Why is there no sound from the DVX-668K?

Check that audio cables are firmly connected and not defective. Ensure the connected amplifier or TV is set to the correct input. Verify that the player is not muted and that volume is turned up. Also check the audio setup menu for correct output settings (e.g., Stereo, 5.1).

How do I play files from a USB drive?

Insert the USB drive into the front USB port. Press the DVD/USB button on the remote to switch to USB mode. Use the arrow keys to navigate files and press ENTER to play.

The disc will not play. What should I do?

Ensure the disc is inserted label-side up and is clean and scratch-free. For CD/DVD-R/RW discs, try a different brand. If the issue persists, clean the laser lens with a lens cleaner disc.

How do I use the microphone?

Plug a 1/4" microphone into either MIC 1 or MIC 2 on the front panel. Turn the MIC VOLUME knob clockwise to increase volume. Adjust ECHO for reverb effect. Microphone audio is output through the front left and right channels only.

How do I change the key of a song?

Use the Digital Key Control buttons on the remote: b (flat) lowers the key, # (sharp) raises it, and the natural button resets to original. Each press changes by one step, up to ±16 steps.

The remote control does not work. What can I do?

First, check that the batteries are inserted correctly and are fresh. Point the remote directly at the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel. Move closer to the unit. Also ensure the main power button on the front panel is pressed in (the remote only controls standby).

How do I switch between PAL and NTSC?

Press the N/P button on the remote control while the player is stopped. NTSC is for North America, PAL for Europe and Asia.

Can I connect the DVX-668K to a surround sound system?

Yes. Use the 5.1 channel RCA outputs (FL, FR, CEN, SL, SR, SUB) to connect to a surround sound receiver. Alternatively, use coaxial or optical digital outputs for Dolby Digital. Note that microphone vocals are only output through front left/right.

How should I clean the DVX-668K?

Unplug the unit from the power outlet. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. For the disc lens, use a commercial lens cleaning disc.

FCC information (U.S.A.)

1. IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT MODIFY THIS

UNIT!: This product, when installed as indicated in the instructions contained in this manual, meets FCC requirements. Modifications not expressly approved by Vocopro may void your authority, granted by the FCC, to use this product.

1. IMPORTANT: When connecting this product to accessories and/or another product use only high quality shielded cables. Cable(s) supplied with this product MUST be used. Follow all installation instructions. Failure to follow instructions could void your FCC authorization to use this product in the U.S.A.

2. NOTE: This product has been tested and found to comply with the requirements listed in FCC Regulations, Part 15 for Class "B" digital devices. 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

The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source so long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the apparatus itself is turned off. To fully insure that the apparatus is indeed fully void of residual power, leave unit disconnected from the AC outlet for at least fifteen seconds.

CAUTION:

READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place - away from windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, v motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water.

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.

6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.

7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents: this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

8. Be sure to read the "Troubleshooting" section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.

9. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when the power switch is turned off. We recommend that you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time. This will save electricity and help prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

10. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord and remove the antenna cable during an electrical storm.

11. The general digital signals may interfere with other equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the system farther away from such equipment if interference is observed.
