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.

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). ±  
±"016'"±"  
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.
