– the source has strong echoes or chorus.

– the singer’s voice deviates from the center.

– the voice on the source is singing in high soprano

or tenor.

• Keep microphone away from the speakers and adjust

its volume to avoid acoustic feedback (howling) and

distortion.

• If you want to record your voice through the

microphone only, you can do so by selecting the CD

function and not playing a disc.

• When high level sound signals are input, the system

automatically adjusts the recording level to prevent

distortion of the recorded sound signal (Auto Level

Control function).

• The key can be adjusted only when the function is set
