CONNECTING POWER

CONNECTING TOYOUR TV

VIDEO CONNECTION

You can power the system from a standardAC outlet by using the supplied power cord.

CAUTION: The suppliedAC power cord hasa polarizedplug that fits into the wall outlet only one
way.If the plug does not fit properly, turn it over and try again. Donot forceit.

The Singing Machine includes a patch cord to provide the option of either connecting an
external audio/sound system and/or video device. The patchcord havethree RCA plugs ateach
end; the White and Red are for left and right audio connections, the Yellow is to connect the
video.

It is recommended that a CDG disc is playing while connecting your TV or VCR. The display of
the SingingMachine logo or lyricson your TV screen willinsure you have connectedyour TV or
VCR properly.

Please follow the steps belowto displayCDG lyrics on the TV screen:
(1) Locate themulticolored patch cords.
(2) Connect videocable (yellow) to the Video Out ofthe back of the Singing Machine.
(3) Connect theother end of the video cable (yellow)to theVideo Input on your TVor VCR.

VIDEO INPUT

(YELLOW JACK)

If your television or VCR does not have the required Video Input, youwill 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 mustspecify the source the TV orVCR is to display.YourTV or VCR user guide cantell you
how to display thevideo signalfrom the ‘Video In’jack.

If you don’t have the manual for your TV or VCR, we suggest calling the TV or VCR,
manufacturer’s customerservice department. Onlythe manufacturerwill beable totell youvery
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 properly display the standard blue background when
using most CDGs.If thebackground coloris inconsistentor flashing, please try connecting your
Singing Machine to a standardtube television.

D

COMMON WAYSTO CONFIGUREYOUR 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 'AUX OUT' jacks whenever you play a CDG. We
recommend playing a CDG on your Singing Machine prior to making these connections. Youwill
have the ability toview lyricson your TV screen assoon asyou complete the set up 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 (contact your
satellite company forinstructions). The setup of your TV/VCR isthe 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,
choose the correct input on your TV/VCR to display lyrics from The Singing Machine instead of
the usual input from thecable orantennae.

Check your TV/VCR user manual for the easiest way to setup your particular entertainment
system. If you don't have your manual please contact your TV/VCR manufacturer for
information either by phoneor byviewing theirwebsite foronline assistance. We'velisted below
the most common waysof settingup a TV/VCR:

In the setup menu for configuring the TV/VCR there may be an option on 'Input Selection'
where you may choose between'Cable/Ant’, 'Video 1',or 'Video 2' etc.as theinput 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 also could be one of the following: 'VIDEO' or
'INPUT' or 'GAME')

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

'VIDEO', 'VIDEO 1', ‘Game', 'AUX', 'EXT', 'LINE1', 'LINE-IN' or occasionally the 'VCR'
button will display the Videoinput source.
