Getting connected cont Microphone/Instrument Input Connection After making your main system connections, it is time to get your microphones and instruments connected and ready for performing. Before you get started with your connections we recommend that you take the following tips into consideration: •When connecting instruments, refrain from using defective cables as they can cause significant noise and loud pops, posing a threat to system speakers.
Getting connected cont Speaker Connection The GIG MAN PLUS has a set of speaker connectors for connection to external speakers. Remember that only speakers with an impedance rating of 8 ohms should be connected. To connect speakers, first unlock the plastic fasteners on each speaker connector by pushing downward on them. Then strip approximately a 1 /2” (1.27cm) of insulation from the speaker wire ends and twist the strands so that they can easily slide through the holes.

Mp3 functions and operations The GIG MAN PLUS can play back MP3’s files recorded to CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs. Notes on MP3 Discs An MP3 file stores audio data that has been compressed using the MPEG1 encoding scheme. Although PC terminology uses “files” and “folders” regarding MP3s and storage, in this manual we refer to them as “tracks and albums”. Notes on Playing MP3s An MP3 track must be recorded on a disc in the format compliant with ISO9660. Track order may differ from MP3 player to MP3 player.
Mp3 functions and operations cont MP3 Glossary File Extension - A 3-character string added to a file name under the Windows or DOS environment is called a “file extension”. A file extension is used mainly to identify types of files. The file extension for MP3 files is “.mp3”. ISO 9660 - ISO stands for the “International Organization for Standardization”. ISO 9660 determines the file structure for CD-ROMs. This unit can play MP3 files recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660.
Karaoke functions and operations Notes on Karaoke Media There are various types of Karaoke media available for playback with the GIG MAN PLUS. You can perform Karaoke with MP3, CDG and VCD formats.

It is very similar to a standard CD, except it has video graphics that are decoded by your Karaoke player and displayed onscreen.
Viewing CD’s Viewing VCD’s There are two types of VCD’s: VCD 1/1.1 Format This format of VCD has no menu, track search and other video features available, as this format does not support PBC.
