Sing Along-Karaoke; To Singing Along With Conventional Audio Discs Or Tapes - JVC MX-V508T Instruction Manual

You can enjoy singing along using conventional audio CDs, CD-Gs, Video CDs or tapes.
Vocal Masking
When playing a stereo recorded source such as conventional audio CDs or tapes, you can reduce the lead vocal and replace it with your voice by
singing into the microphone. Usually stereo recorded CDs are the best source for Vocal Masking.
The following sources are not good for Vocal Masking.
• Monaural sources.
• Multiplex karaoke tapes and discs.
• Poorly dubbed tapes.
• Stereo recorded source, but with only few instruments, with duets, or with strong echo.
