Microphone Setup
In Microphone Setup, you can adjust the Mic Gain, which is the input level of the
microphone. We recommend using the default setting unless the microphone does not
seem to be picking up your voice properly. Turn up the Mic Gain if the microphone is not
picking up your voice properly. Keep in mind that you may experience distortion if you
turn up the Mic Gain too high.
Sound Setup
Many of these settings can be changed with the DUALSHOCK
®
2 analog controller while a
song is playing. See CONTROLS for more details:
MUSIC Volume level of the background music track.
LEAD VOCALS Volume level of the original lead vocals in the song.
SOUND FX Volume level of the sound effects within the game.
MIC VOLUME Volume level of the microphone playback through the
speakers (different than Mic Gain).
EARPIECE Volume level of your voice in the earpiece monitor
(headset only).

When you begin a multiplayer arcade game, there are several options to set for the game:
PLAYERS Number of players in the game (2-8)
ROUNDS Number of rounds in the game (1-5)
RANDOM ROUNDS
NO RANDOM ROUNDS Players select the songs
RANDOM LAST ROUND Songs are randomly selected in the last round
ALL RANDOM ROUNDS Songs are randomly selected in all rounds
FULL/SHORT SONG Sing the full (normal) version or short version of the songs.
At the end of each round, you will be brought to the Round Recap Screen which has
information about your progress in the current game. A final winner is declared at the
end of the game.
Karaoke Competition
This is a multi player version of Karaoke for 3 to 8 players. Instead of the game system
rating your performance, the contestants themselves are the judges. At the end of each
song, the players will get a chance to secretly rate the performance of the singer. The
player with the highest overall rating at the end of the final round wins the competition.
TRAINING
In Training Mode, we teach you the basics of the game including the interface and we’ll
take you through a few interactive examples. We recommend you go through training
mode to get a better handle on how the game works before playing the other game modes.
Extras
High Scores
Check your high scores for the songs. A high score is displayed for every song at each
judging level. You must sing the full version of the song in order to set a high score.
