Entertainment System
from Marantz
A Unique New Form of Musical Entertainment
Now you can delight and fascinate your
guests with the fabulous SING ALONG ••
Entertainment System which plays their
favorite music and lets them sing along by
displaying the lyrics of each song in time with
the music. This revolutionary development in
club entertainment combines the famou s
PJANOCORDER reproducing system with
our versatile new SUPERSCAN '" display con-
sole, an electronic screen composed of solid
state light emitting d iodes (LED's).
Using factory encoded tape cartridges, the
SINGALONG system operates the piano keys
and pedals, producing an amazingly lifelike
performance, while the song lyrics dance
across the screen . Each song is programmed
with its own dazzling light and motion effects
to delight your guests. Our long playing car-
tridges contain about 67 old and new favori tes
each, and additional tapes are avai lable from
our extensive Pianocorder tape library, giving
you an almost limitless supply of music.
We'll also, program into your system an
advertising message of up to 200 words which
will be displayed on the screen continually while
the SINGALONG mechanism isn't playing.
The SINGALONG system is available in
both coin-op and free-play models, installed in
our handsome Ragtime Piano. It can also be in-
stalled in any other piano quickly and easily,
without impairing the piano's structural in-
tegrity or tone . The SUPERSCAN console can
be placed anywhere, in single or multiple unit
displays, and it can be used independently of
the system as one of the most versatile user
programmed message centers on the market.
The SINGALONG system is virtually
service-free; in the unlikely event that you
ever have a problem with it, help is as near as
your phone. If there's trouble with the con -
sole, simply ship it back and we'll send you a
replacement while yours is being repaired .
The MARANTZ SINGALONG system is
unique in club entertainment. It will captivate
your patrons play after play, night after night,
at a substantial savings to you in entertain-
ment costs. And because it's self operating, all
you have to do is change tapes.
It'll pay YOU to take a look at the
MARANTZ SING ALONG entertainment
system . Call us toll -free at 1-800-438- 7023 for
more information .
