IMPORTANT

CONNECTING TO YOUR HEADPHONE

Plug the supplied AC power cord into the AC jack that located on the rear panel of the product
and plug theother end into thestandardAC socket.

The suppliedAC power cordhas a polarized plug thatfits into the walloutlet only one

way. If theplug does not fitproperly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.

1. Lift battery door to reveal battery compartment. Insert six (6) “C” size alkaline batteries (not
provided) as indicated.

2. Replace cover tightly beforeoperating.

3. When not using batteries for a long period of time, remove batteries to prevent leakage in
compartment. Replace all batteries at the same time. Do not mix old batteries with new
batteries.

TheAC power cord MUSTbe disconnected fromthe unit orit will not operateon battery power.

A headphone jack is provided for using headphones instead of the built-in speakers.
(Headphones are soldseparately.)

CONNECTING TO YOUR TV

VIDEO CONNECTION

The Singing Machine provides a patch cord to give you the option of connecting your unit to an
external audio/sound system and video device. The patch cord has three RCA jacks at each
end. White and Red are for left and right audio connections and the yellow is for connecting the
video.

Make sure that you have a CDG disc in the Singing Machine and playing when you are making
this connection. You will know you have the proper settings on your TV or VCR as soon as you
see the SingingMachine logo or lyricson the screen!

The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.

Please follow thesteps below to display CDG lyrics onthe TV screen:
(1) Locate the multicolored patch cords.
(2) Connect video cable (yellow) tothe VIDEO OUT of the back of the Singing Machine.
(3) Connect the other end ofthe video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO INPUT on your TV or VCR.

ENGLISH

If your television does not have the required Video Input, you will need an RF Modulator (Radio
Frequency Modulator), which connects through your TV Antenna or cable line and serves as
Video Input.

An RF Modulator can be purchased at almost any consumer electronics retailer. If you are
connecting the video from the Singing Machine to either a television or a VCR video input jack,
you must specify the source the TV or VCR is to display. Your TV or VCR user guide can tell you
how to displaythe video signal fromthe ‘VideoIn’ jack.

If you don’t have the manual for your TV or VCR we suggest calling the TV or VCR
manufacturer’s customer service department. Only the manufacturer will beable to tell you very
quickly how to configure your TV or VCR to display the video signal coming from the ‘Video
Input’jack.

Note: Some projection TV sets do not display the standard blue background used on most
CDGs properly. If the background color is inconsistent or flashing, please try connecting your
Singing Machine to a standard tube television.

D

COMMON WAYS TO CONFIGURE YOUR TVOR VCR

Your Singing Machine is designed to connect to your TV the same way you would connect a
video camera, VCR or video game. The Singing Machine is constantly sending the video and
audio signals to the 'VIDEO Out' and 'AUDIO OUT' jacks whenever you play a CDG. So, load a
CDG into your Singing Machine before you start making these connections. You will see lyrics
on the TV screen as soonas you get thesetup completed correctly.

We refer to TV/VCR because manufacturers use very similar ways to connect TVs and VCRs
and you can connect your Singing Machine to a TV, VCR or satellite system. The setup of your
TV/VCR is the most difficult part of making the connection for displaying your Singing Machine
lyrics. In most homes, the TV has either a cable connected or antennae in use. Once you
connect your Singing Machine to the TV/VCR, you must 'tell' your TV/VCR to display the input
from the SingingMachine instead of theusual input from thecable or antennae.

Check your TV/VCR user manual for the easiest way to setup your particular entertainment
system. If you don't have your manual you can always call your TV/VCR manufacturer for that
information or try hitting their website for online assistance. We've listed below the most
common ways ofsetting up a TV/VCR:

In the setup menu for configuring the TV/VCR there may be an option on 'Input Selection'
where you maychoose between 'Cable/Ant.', 'Video 1', or 'Video 2' etc. as the input source.

Try looking for a 'Video' channel between the highest channel and the lowest channel on
your TV or VCR. (i.e. Between 99 and 2 maybe 'VIDEO' or 'INPUT'or 'GAME')

(3) Look for a button on the remote control for the TV/VCR you are connecting to that says

'VIDEO', 'VIDEO 1', 'Game', 'AUX', 'EXT', 'LINE1', 'LINE-IN' or occasionally the 'VCR'
button will displaythe Video input source.

other end of the cable’s white (left channel) and red (right channel) plugs to your TV or home
stereo system’s ‘AUDIO IN’or ‘AUX IN’jacks.
