CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING POWER

CAUTION:

CONNECTING TOYOUR HEADPHONE

Power the system from a standard AC outlet by using the built in power cord.

The built inAC power cord has a polarized plug that fits into the wall outlet only one way. If the plug does

not fit properly, turn itover andtry again. Donot forceit.

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

A warning that excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing

loss; The MAINS plug is usedas the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

BEFORE CONNECTIONS ARE MADE

!

!

Always turn off theSinging Machine,TV andother components priorto connectingor disconnecting any cables.
Please refer to the following is well as the instruction manuals of the other components if connection problems
come out or moreinformation is needed.

CONNECTING TO A VIDEO SYSTEM

E12

In order towatch a DVD, picture CD orsing-along with a CDG on TV screen, you must connect the included RCA
cables (Red-White-Yellow colored plug cable) to the output jack on the rear panel of the unit. Then connect the
other end of the RCA plug to the AUX and VIDEO Input jack of the video system such as TV. (If your television
does not have the required Video Input, you will need an RF Modulator (Radio Frequency Modulator), which
connects through yourTV antenna or cable line and serves as Video Input. Please view the illustration below as a
reference guide.

: To only display the image on the video system, unplug the AUX OUT (L & R) cards. The audio will be

produced come out fromthe built-inspeakers of theunit. Ifno sound is heard, checkthe volumesettings of
the unit.

Please use the provided CDG disc to test the connections. The lyrics and music of songs on the disc will be
displayed on the TVscreen.

You mustspecify the source you wish to view when you are connecting the video out from the Singing Machine to
either a TV or a VCR. Every TV and VCR manufacturer accomplishes the set-up a little differently. Even though
every TV and VCR is alittle different, the general idea is the same - ifyou have two sources of video signal (cable
or antenna and SingingMachine), you have to specifywhich oneis displayed onthe screen.

If you have never used the video input RCA jack or coaxial cable on your TV/VCR you should consult your
TV/VCR user guide.

They will be able to tell you very quickly how to

configure yourTV orVCR to displaythe videoconnection.
The three most commonways to set up theTV/VCR are:

1) A ‘Video’ button may be on the TV/VCR or on the remote control. Pressing ‘Video’ may display the input from
your Singing Machine.

2) Trylooking for a ‘Video’channel between the regular channels on your TV/VCR. Do this by setting the channel
on the TV/VCR to channel 2 then pressing the ‘Down’ channel button to see if there is a ‘Video In’ or ‘Line In’
between the lowest channeland the highest channel onyour system.

3) The configuration may also be located in the set-up menu on the TV/VCR. Look for a section on ‘Input
Selection’where youmight be ableto choosethe input source i.e. ‘Cable/Ant.’,‘Video 1’, ‘LineIn’ or ‘VideoIn’.

NOTE

COMMON WAYSTO CONFIGUREYOUR TVOR VCR

If you don't have your manual please contact your TV/VCR manufacturer for information

either by phone or by viewing their website for online assistance.
