way.If the plugdoes not fitproperly, turnit over andtry again. Donot force it.

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

DC OPERATION

provided) as indicated.

2. Replace cover tightlybefore operating.

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.

IMPORTANT

TheAC power cordMUST be disconnectedfrom the unitor it willnot operate onbattery power.

CONNECTING TO YOUR HEADPHONE

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

CONNECTING TO YOUR TV

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 orlyrics on thescreen!

The supplied AC powercord has a polarizedplug that fits intothe wall outletonly one

VIDEO CONNECTION

Please follow thesteps below todisplay CDG lyricson the TVscreen:
(1) Locate the multicolored patchcords.
(2) Connect video cable (yellow)to the VIDEO OUTof the back of theSinging Machine.
(3) Connect the other endof the videocable (yellow) to theVIDEO INPUT onyourTV or VCR.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

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 specifythe source the TVor VCR is to display. YourTV or VCR user guide can tell you
how to displaythe video signalfrom the ‘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 willbe able to tell you very
quickly how to configure your TV or VCR to display the video signal coming from the ‘Video
Input’jack.

D

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 toa standard tubetelevision.

COMMON WAYS TO CONFIGURE YOUR TV ORVCR

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 TVscreen as soonas you getthe setup completedcorrectly.

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 ofthe usual inputfrom the cableor antennae.

ENGLISH

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 aTV/VCR:

In the setup menu for configuring the TV/VCR there may be an option on 'Input Selection'

(1)

where you maychoose 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

(2)

your TV orVCR. (i.e. Between99 and 2may be '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 inputsource.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

AUDIO CONNECTION

Connect the unit to your TVor homestereo system using the White and Red connections on the
supplied patch cord. Plug the white end of the patch cord into the white AUDIO OUTjack on the
unit. Plug the red end of the patch cord into the red AUDIO OUT jack on unit. Now connect the

ENGLISH

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