ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
7. Heat — The product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
8. Power-Cord Protection — Power-supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
9. Attachments — Do not use attachments not
recommended by the product manufacturer as they
may cause hazards.
10. Accessories — Do not place this product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
A product and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the product and cart combination to
overturn.
3
11. Lightning — For added protection for this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning
and power-line surges.
12. Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
13. Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
14. Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions: a)
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, b) If
liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product, c) If the product has been exposed to rain or
water, d) If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions
as an improper adjustment of other controls may result
in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to its normal
operation, e) If the product has been dropped or
damaged in any way, and f) When the product exhibits
a distinct change in performance — this indicates a
need for service.
15. Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any
kind into this product through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.
17. Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
4
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
18. Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this product, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the product is
in proper operating condition.

19. Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The product should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by
the manufacturer.
20. Power Sources — This product should be operated
only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or
local power company. For products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
21. Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
22. Grounding or Polarization — This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
23. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna
or cable system is connected to the product, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

Your RadioShack CDG Karaoke System is one of the most
versatile karaoke systems available. It lets you be the “star”
as you sing along with your favorite recordings on a CD,
CDG (a compact disc with a graphic track), or cassette tape,
and hear your voice with the music through the powerful
built-in speaker.
The karaoke system’s CDG capability is the latest
advancement in karaoke technology. Its built-in 7-inch
monitor lets you read the lyrics.
You can sing along without video graphics using special
karaoke audio cassette tapes (not supplied) and the CD
disks (such as the supplied CDG demo disk) that let you
balance the volume of the original singer’s voice and the
music tracks. Or, you can sing along with a regular pre-
recorded cassette tape or CD (not supplied).
You can also connect another audio source to the karaoke
system, such as a stereo VCR, and play a karaoke video
cassette (not supplied). ±

Additional karaoke CDs, audio
cassettes, and video cassettes are
available at your local RadioShack
store or online at
CDG/CD Player — play regular or karaoke CDs, or special
CDGs, so you can experience digital images. Plus, the
player’s 1-bit D/A converter and 8 times oversampling
produce high quality sound.
Plus, your karaoke system can be
used as a PA system for speaking
at parties or other small gatherings. 8-Watt Output Power — sing along and listen through one
of the biggest amps offered in a karaoke system, including a
5” full range speaker and a 2” tweeter.
Cassette Deck — plays cassette tapes.
Auto-Stop — automatically stops a tape when it finishes
playing or recording to protect the tape and tape-handling
parts.
Automatic Search — quickly locate and play any track on
the loaded CDG/CD.
Audible Search — quickly locate a particular section of
track while playing a CD.
Supplied CDG Disc — lets you sing along with the music
and adjust the volume of the pre-recorded voice and music.
Recording — record your voice as you sing along with a
CDG/CD or an external audio source connected to the
system.
Built-In Speaker — share the music with your family or
friends.
