Hi,

I have an ipod w/ karaoke backgrounds hooked up to my fender passport via the aux port. I also have a microphone attached in LIne 1. When i play the karaoke and sing it works fine, although once I start singing louder, the karaoke music disappears and all you can hear is my voice. The karaoke comes back on after a few seconds after i stop singing.

How do I fix this? Could i hook up the speakers differently?

Line 1 has the VIP function, where the music automatically cuts out when you talk (good for making announcements) and resumes when you stop talking. This is controlled by the first knob (VIP) on line 1. Turn it all the way counterclockwise to stop using this feature. Here's what my manual has to say about it:

VIP (CHANNEL 1 ONLY) – The VIP or Vocal Input
Priority control adjusts the level at which the volume of all
other channels are automatically reduced in favor of the
source attached to the Mic/Line Input 1. This unique
feature permits a user to speak while other inputs (such as
background music) continue at temporarily reduced
levels. The VIP circuit is “pre-volume control” which means
it is effective regardless of level control setting of channel
one. Adjust this control while speaking into a microphone
on channel 1, with other program material input through
another channel. Depending on the duration and level of
the signal being input to Mic/Line 1 and the position of the
control, the VIP circuit will trigger a reduction in level of all
the other channels. The original levels will be automatically
restored when there is no signal present on channel 1. In
typical use, the circuit will return normal levels in about
4 seconds. With the level set at a higher or a stronger
signal, normal levels will be restored after approximately
6 seconds. The VIP circuit has an intentionally slow
release time which prevents interruptions when a speaker
pauses for thought or effect. Care should be taken to
avoid the VIP triggering on sound from the main speakers.
At high settings, the microphone may “hear” the main
system speakers and trigger a reduction in level. When
not using the VIP feature, be sure to turn the control
completely counterclockwise.
