NOTE:
Prevent howling/whistle occurring
ensure that the XB-16 is facing away
from the person using the
microphone.
SINGING TO MUSIC
The microphone can operate together with the
RADIO, TAPE, AV1/2, CD functions.
1. Select the desired function and operate
that function according to the instructions
given.
2. Insert the supplied microphone into either
MIC input socket.
3. Move the microphone ON/OFF switch to
the ON position and operate the
microphone according to the instructions
given in the PA section.
4. Use the auto vocal switch to cut the vocals
from the music being played.
Special KARAOKE cassette/CD discs may be
purchased from many hi-fi retail outlets or
record shops. This type of karaoke tape/CD
contains popular music/instrumentals
recorded on one side of the tape and
predominantly vocals on the other side the
tape. With these it is possible to sing along
(lyric are supplied with the cassettes) to the
music or vocal recordings. The priority of voice
verses music being played through the XB-
16 speaker can be altered to suit your own
requiments by adjusting the MIC MIX control
to music or vocals.
PROTECTING YOUR RECORDINGS
All non pre-recorded cassette tapes can be
made record proof. On the back edge of the
cassette can be found two squaretabs, if a
recording is to be protected from accidental
erasure, remove the corresponding tab
applicable to that side of the tape as shown
in the diagram. Use a small screwdriver, nail
file or similiar implement to break the tab.
Once the tab has been removed, recording
on that particular side of the tape will be
prevented, the tape mechanism will detect that
the tab is missing and will prevent the record
key from being pressed.
To record a tape that has its tabs removed,
place a piece of sticky tape over the holes,
this will allow recordings to take place.
Recommended Cassette Tapes
In order to obtain optimum performance with
the built-in cassette tape deck, it is essential
to use only high quality cassette tapes. The
bias and equalization of this tape deck is
adjusted to yield excellent results if used with
brand name tapes. Use C-30, C-60 and C-90
cassette tapes only. We do not recommend
the C-120 cassettes because they can be
subject to mechanical instability and proper,
constant tape tension cannot be controlled.
Checking the Cassette (Slack Tape)
Make sure that the
cassette tape has no
slack prior to inserting
it into the cassette
compartment. Use a
pencil as shown to
take up slack on one
of the reels.
MAINTENANCE TAPE MECHANISM
CLEANING THE TAPE MECHANISM
As the tape runs through the tape mechanism,
magnetic powder and dust naturally
accumulate on the tape deck heads, capstans
and pinch roller. When they become too dirty:
* Sound quality deteriorates
* The output sound level drops
* The previous recording is not completely
erased
