Getting Started

You can start singing after making a few settings. Switch the SilverCrest SKS 15 B1 on with the

On/Off button. The green Power LED lights up. First set the music volume control to the neutral

centre position. The correct position can be felt by a slight locking resistance. If the music is too loud

or too quiet in comparison to your voice later on, you can re-adjust it by turning this control. Turning

the control from the centre position to the right amplifies the signal which may lead to distortion

when using a sensitive amplifier. First turn the Echo control to the left as far as possible. This will

disable any echo. When required, you can turn this knob to the right to adjust the echo length for

your voice. Use the microphone gain controls to adjust the microphone level to your voice. Start by

turning the control as far to the left as possible. Switch on your TV set or amplifier, select the re-

quired master volume, and then set the microphone to "on". Now start singing into the microphone

and turn the corresponding microphone gain control to the right until your voice is loud and clear

but without any distortion. During the sound check you should already sing loudly, as you will have

to accompany the music later on. If the total volume of music plus voice is too high or too low, ad-

just it on your TV set or stereo system. The settings on the mixer are only used to adjust the correct

music/voice volume balance. Now all you need is the background music. Insert the supplied kara-

oke DVD into your DVD player and select the desired song with the arrow buttons. For each song

you can toggle between the karaoke version (without voice) and vocal version by pressing the

arrow buttons on your DVD player and highlighting the corresponding field on the menu. Music

playback starts and the song lyrics appear on the TV screen. A coloured progress bar shows you

the point where the song is currently being played so you do not miss your cue. If the song includes

an instrumental part, this is also indicated by a corresponding text and coloured progress bar.

Before you have to start singing, a beat count "1234" will appear to help you start on time. During

playback of the current song you can toggle between the karaoke version (without voice) and

vocal version by pressing the Audio button on your DVD player. This button should be explained in

the user manual of your DVD player. Normally this button is used to select the audio language on a

DVD film. The vocal versions of the songs have been recorded with professional singers and are

very useful for practice. One note on the On/Off button: When the device is switched off, the input

and output sockets on the rear panel are internally connected (loop-through operation). The Silver-

Crest SKS 15 B1 then acts as a neutral device and you can use your DVD player normally without

having to change any cable connections.
