The karaoke function is active whenever a microphone is connected to the player.

The amount of echo effect needed may differ for different styles of music and for different preferences.

To eliminate howling: • Point the mic away from the speakers. • Move the mic away from the speakers. • Turn VOLUME counterclockwise to lower the volume level. • Turn ECHO counterclockwise to lower the echo effect.
