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 set, 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.

The DIGITAL KEY CONTROL indicators display the selected pitch. Use the ECHO control to adjust the echo effects for MICs 1, 2, and 3. Turn the ECHO control towards “10” to increase the echo level. Turn the control towards “0” to decrease it. To lower the pitch To return to normal pitch To raise the pitch I È i ECHO 0 Controlling the musical pitch with the microphone You can also control the musical pitch with a YAMAHA microphone provided with a key control plug. Connect the microphone to the MIC 1, 2, or 3 jack, and insert its key control plug into the KEY CONTROL jack. 10 • The same echo effect is applied to MICs 1, 2, and 3. • You can turn MIC 3's echo off and on separately from MICs 1 and 2 when you need a clear signal (for use by an MC, for example) by pressing MIC 3 ECHO. MIC 3 ECHO When you want to change your voice Press the MAGIC VOCAL button to light the magic vocal indicator and you can use the DIGITAL KEY CONTROLs to change the pitch of your voice (±1 octave in 15 positions) the same way you would change the musical pitch. When the level is +7 or –7, the 5 and 6 indicators both light. MAGIC VOCAL Filling in with VOCAL AID Press the VOCAL AID button to light the indicator. If you forget some lyrics, or stop singing in the middle of a song, the unit fills in with the original vocals. VOCAL AID • You cannot use both the musical pitch control and the magic vocal function at the same time. Pressing MAGIC VOCAL turns off the musical pitch adjustments. • The ECHO control does not work when magic vocal is on. Press the MAGIC VOCAL button to turn off the magic vocal function when not in use. Merely setting the level to "0" (neutral) does not turn off magic vocal. • When you press MAGIC VOCAL, microphone output is cut for approximately 2 seconds to prevent speaker damage. 6 • When playing sound multiplex sources with the MPX/ STEREO button set to MPX, use the MPX BALANCE control to adjust the volume of the original vocals. • MAGIC VOCAL and VOCAL AID do not work with MIC 3 if the MIC 3 ECHO is turned off.  INPUT MAGIC VOCAL POWER DIGITAL KEY CONTROL BALLAD -7 -6 -5 KARAOKE DSS POPS JAZZ ROCK 0 -4 -3 -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 VOCAL AID ONE TOUCH KARAOKE MPX MIC 3 ECHO VCR MPX BAL ECHO MIC 1 2 3 LEVEL LD/CDG TAPE ALIX LEVEL +7 MAGIC VOCAL I È L MUSIC KARAOKE DSS DIGITAL KEY CONTROL i BALLAD BALLAD POPS POPS JAZZ JAZZ ROCK ROCK VOCAL ONE TOUCH KARAOKE AID R VOCAL MPX/ STEREO 0 10 MIC 3 ECHO 0 10 0 10 0 10 KEY CONTROL INPUT selector Choosing vocal effects by music type Recording karaoke Press one of the following KARAOKE Digital Super Surround (DSS) buttons to select an effect appropriate for the type of music you are singing. Karaoke can be recorded with a cassette deck and/or VCR connected to this unit. Before recording, select the source to be played with the INPUT selectors. When recording with the cassette deck, select a source other than TAPE, and select a source other than VCR for VCR recording. BALLAD POPS JAZZ ROCK BALLAD: Suitable for mellow songs with slow-tempos; gives your voice and added sense of expression. POPS: Suitable for pop music; provides a feeling of lightness. JAZZ: Provides the reflections of a small hall, and creates an atmosphere similar to a jazz club. ROCK: Suitable for rhythmical rock sounds; provides for dynamic vocals. NOTES: • During playback of a cassette deck connected to the TAPE PB jacks, that signal will not be output from the REC OUT jacks. Thus, you cannot record on cassette if the playback source is a cassette, even if separate cassette decks are connected to the TAPE PB jacks and REC OUT jacks. Also, it is not possible to record with a VCR connected to the VCR OUT jacks during playback from a VCR source connected to the VCR IN jacks. • The settings for DIGITAL KEY CONTROL, KARAOKE, DSS, and ECHO are included in the recorded sound. Therefore, the recorded sound is similar to the sound output from the speakers. Press the same button again to cancel the effect. • This function mostly effects sound coming through the microphone. Including video output with audio sources If howling (a loud, high-pitched sound) occurs Move the microphone farther away from the speakers, decrease the microphone level, or lower the overall volume with the volume control on your amplifier. Notes on the microphone When a microphone is not being used, turn it off and unplug it. When you choose either TAPE or AUX with the INPUT selector, you can enjoy video images on the monitor from the LD/CDG component while listening to the sound from the TAPE or AUX component. If you set your VCR to the recording mode, you can record both the TAPE or AUX audio and LD/CDG video signals at the same time. 7  TROUBLESHOOTING If this unit fails to operate normally, check the following table. It lists common operating errors and simple measures which can correct them. If a problem cannot be corrected, or the symptom is not listed, disconnect the unit’s power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Microphone plug is not firmly inserted into the jack. Insert firmly. Microphone is turned off. Turn on the power of the microphone. The volume of the original vocals cannot be reduced even when the MPX BAL control is turned to the MUSIC side. The MPX/STEREO button is not set properly. • With sound multiplex sources, set the MPX/ STEREO button to MPX. (The MPX indicator lights.) • With general stereo sources, set the MPX/ STEREO button to STEREO (the MPX indicator goes off) and press the ONE TOUCH KARAOKE button. The MPX BAL control does not function with these sources. Your voice does not replace the original vocals when the VOCAL AID button is pressed. The volume level of the microphone is low. Turn up the volume of the microphone with the MIC LEVEL control. The singing voice is not loud enough. Sing louder. Sound from the playback source cannot be heard. The INPUT selector is not set properly. Set it to the source to be played. The echo effect does not work MAGIC VOCAL is set to ON. Turn off MAGIC VOCAL by pressing the MAGIC VOCAL button. Your voice is not heard through the microphone. • Sometimes a failure (e.g., when buttons do not function) may be remedied by disconnecting the AC power cord from the wall outlet and connecting it again, since this resets the unit's microcomputer.
