Returning to the regular KARAOKE mode
Press the KARAOKE SYSTEM button on the main unit to se-
lect OFF.
When a score is being displayed, Play, Skip, Fast forward, and Fast
reverse operation are not possible.
With DVDs, audio becomes monaural.
And when you select Guide vocal 1 and Guide vocal 2, both vocals
are mixed and output through the left and right speakers.
This function operates only when the mode is KARAOKE MODE.
With some types of disc, some songs, and even some karaoke
discs, accurate vocal key detection may not be possible, making it
hard to achieve high scores. However, this does not mean the player
is malfunctioning. When there is no vocal, (before a song, during
silent passages etc.), if you sing, scoring will not be accurate. On
the other hand, if you do not sing when there is a vocal, you will not
lose any points.
If you use SCORING or have COMPETITION with graphics compat-
ible discs, graphics images and on-screen indications may overlap,
depending on the disc. With LDs and CD-Gs, the karaoke bird char-
acters, score and other indications are displayed in black and white.
If you are using a projection TV, avoid using SCORING and COMPE-
TITION for extended periods of time. This may lead to vacuum tube
burn-in.
With SCORING and COMPETITION, you cannot use the surround
function.

How are you scored?
As you sing into the mic, your voice is compared with the vocal re-
corded on the disc.
Accurate scoring is not possible with discs that do not feature a re-
corded vocal track.
The bell rings depending on how many points you score.
(It doesn't ring if you get less than 59 points.)
