Enjoying Karaoke
(see pages 34 to 36)
Microphone Mixing:
• Key control cannot be activated while DVD Audio is
played.
• By pressing REC START/STOP, you can record your
singing along if you want.
Singing Along (Karaoke):
• Karaoke mode is vocal masking mode. The vocal masking
reduces the lead vocal of any 2-channel playing source,
and allows you to replace it by singing into the
microphones as the music plays. If the playing disc is a
multiplex Karaoke disc, you can enjoy multiplex sound by
press AUDIO (see page 21).
• You can activate Karaoke mode only when the disc player
is selected as the source.
• Karaoke mode setting is also applied to the optical digital
output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
terminal.
• On some music, Karaoke mode does not provide the
correct effect.
Reserving Karaoke Songs—Karaoke Program Play:
• While programming steps...
Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an
item number that does not exist on the disc (for example,
selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks). Such
entries are ignored, and are erased from the program.
Timer Operations
(see pages 37 and 38)
Setting the Timer:
• If you do not specify the preset station or track number
correctly while setting a timer, the currently selected
station or the first track will be played when timer is
activated.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the
clock first, then the timer again.
• Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the
source after Recording Timer starts recording.
• If you set DVD Video as the source, Daily Timer will not
work correctly.
Timer Priority:
• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing
the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.

recording, Recording Timer is canceled, but recording
continues until Sleep Timer shuts off the power.
Set up Menu Operations
(see pages 39 to 44)
LANGUAGE Set up Menu:

LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is
not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the
initial language.

4:3 letter box with some DVD Videos. This depends on
how the discs are recorded.
• When you select “16:9” for a picture whose aspect ratio is
4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for
converting the picture width.

software is played back.
