Notes on vocal reduction with normal
5 stereo sources
The singer's voice may not be reduced
completely for the following reasons:
•Monaural recorded source (Instruments
may also be reduced.)
•Only a few instruments are playing in the
stereo recorded source.
•A duet is being played.
•The source has strong echoes or chorus.
•The singer's voice on the source deviates
from the center.
•The voice on the source is singing in high
soprano or tenor.
Notes
•If you hear acoustic feedback, turn the
volume down, move the microphone
away from the speakers or change the
direction of the microphone.
Acoustic feedback occurs when the sound
from speakers is picked up by a
microphone and amplified and
reproduced again.

digital echo at the same time.
•The picture may be distorted when you
keep pressing down 0 or ) on the
remote.
