Enjoying Karaoke
(see pages 31 to 33)
Reducing the Lead Vocal—Vocal Masking:
• The Vocal Masking Mode setting is not applied to the
optical digital output signals through the OPTICAL
DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal.
• When playing a Karaoke disc in the Vocal Masking Mode,
the vocal may not be reduced or the volume may be lower.
• On some music, the Vocal Masking Mode does not provide
the correct effect.
Scoring Your Karaoke Skill:
• Before the scoring function is activated, you can select the
track by pressing ¢/4 (except for DVD Video and
SVCD/VCD with PBC).
• If you press ¢/4 while scoring, playback stops and
scoring is canceled (but the track is not skipped).
• If you activate the scoring function while playback is
stopped with Resume function, playback starts from the
position you have stopped.
• You can also activate the scoring function while playing
back. In this case, the scoring starts from that point.
• While the scoring function is in use, you cannot use the
following buttons: V.MASKING, MIC MIX, RESERVE,
and disc operation buttons (except for ¢/4/7).
• Activating the scoring function cancels Repeat Play.
• You cannot use the scoring function during Program Play,
Random Play, or recording.
• The ranking (top 3) is cleared when you turn off the
System. (If the number of songs scored is less than 3, "0
POINT" appears.)
Reserving Karaoke Songs—Karaoke Program Play:
• If you have selected a disc tray on which DVD Audio or
DVD-VR is loaded, that disc number is skipped.
• If DVD Audio or DVD-VR is loaded on the current tray,
you cannot use Karaoke Program Play.
• When the track starts playback, that track number will be
erased from the Karaoke reserve screen (the programmed
contents will remain until you erase it).
• While the PROGRAM indicator is flashing, you cannot
change the disc to play. (DISC 1 – 5 on the remote control
and 3 on the main unit do not work.)
Timer Operations
(see pages 34 to 35)
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.
Setup Menu Operations
General:
• If the upper and lower parts of the menu are cut off, adjust
the picture size control of the TV.
LANGUAGE menu:
• When the language you have selected for MENU
LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is
not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the
initial language.
PICTURE menu—MONITOR TYPE:
• Even if "4:3 PS (MULTI)" is selected, the screen size may
become 4:3 letter box with some DVD Videos. This
depends on how the discs are recorded.
• When you select "16:9 (MULTI)" for a picture whose
aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the
process for converting the picture width.
AUDIO menu—DOWN MIX:
• This setting is not effective when DTS software is played
back.
OTHERS menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:
• The setup menu and on-screen bar will be displayed (and
recorded) even though this function is set to "OFF."
Subtitles and the information for zoom-in always appear on
the display regardless of this setting.
Maintenance
To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs,
tapes, and mechanism clean.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes,
and moisture.
To clean the disc:
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.
