Connecting Other Components To The Twister - VocoPro TWISTER-II Owner's Manual

CONNECTING OTHER
COMPONENTS TO THE TWISTER
BEFORE YOU START!!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS OR AMPLIFIERS
TO THE TWISTER II
1) IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE
TWISTER II AMPLIFIER. THE AMPLIFIER IN THE TWISTER II UNIT IS DESIGNED TO POWER ONLY
THE SPEAKERS WITHIN THE UNIT.
2) LIKEWISE THE SPEAKERS IN THE TWISTER II ARE DESIGNED TO HANDLE ONLY THE AMOUNT OF
POWER THE TWISTER II AMPLIFIER PROVIDES FOR THEM. THEREFORE, THE SPEAKERS IN THE TWISTER II
SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO AN ALTERNATIVE AMPLIFIER, DOING SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE.
NOTE: IF DAMAGE OCCURS AS A RESULT OF CONNECTING ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS DIRECTLY TO THE TWISTER II
AMPLIFIER, OR CONNECTING THE TWISTER II SPEAKERS TO AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER, REPAIRS MAY NOT BE COVERED
UNDER THE WARRANTY!
The Twister is designed so you can connect other components to it and use the Karaoke features that are built into the Twister in
conjunction with you other components.
EXPANDING YOUR SYSTEM
You may use the Karaoke features (echo, delay, key changer) that are built into the Twister II with other componentsjust by connecting the
components as described in this section. The Karaoke features will automatically be functional when additonal components are properly
connected. (Also see REAR PANEL PARTS AND FUNCTIONS for additional connection information)
CONNECTING AN ALTERNATE AMPLIFIER AND USING THE KARAOKE FEATURES
An alternate amplifier may be connected to the Twister II through the "L" and "R" "PRE" OUTPUT jacks in order to use the Karaoke
features with a different or more powerful amplifier. If you plan to add additional speakers connect them to the alternate amplifier.
(See manufacturer's instructions) Connecting an alternate amplifier to the Twister II in this way basically "bi-passes" the amplifier in the
Twister II and it is therefore not used, but still allows the use of the Karaoke features by other connected components. (See "REAR PANEL"
diagram). To do this you will most likely need an "RCA to "quarter-inch" (1/4") connector cable. Connect the RCA ends of the cable to the
"L" and "R" "PRE" OUTPUT jacks on the back of the Twister II and the "qarter-inch (1/4") connectors to "L" and "R" INPUT channels on
the alternate amplifier. The Karaoke features will automatically be functional by the other components attached to the Twister II.
CONNECTING A DVD PLAYER OR MINI-DISC PLAYER
Using and RCA connector cable, connect the "L" and "R" "DVD" INPUT jacks to the "L" and "R" "AUDIO OUTPUT" jacks on the
DVD player (check manufacturer's instructions). BE SURE TO SET THE INPUT SELECTOR ON THE FRONT OF THE TWISTER II TO
"DVD", OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE NO SOUND. Play the DVD player as usual. Music from the DVD player will be audible from the
Twister II speakers and the Karaoke features will be functional.
CONNECTING A LASER DISC PLAYER
Using and RCA connector cable, connect the "L" and "R" "LD" INPUT jacks to the "L" and "R" "AUDIO OUTPUT" jacks on the LD player
(check manufacturer's instructions). BE SURE TO SET THE INPUT SELECTOR ON THE FRONT OF THE TWISTER II TO "LD",
OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE NO SOUND. Play the LD player as usual. Music from the LD player will be audible from the Twister II
speakers and the Karaoke features will be functional.
