CONNECTING TO YOUR HEADPHONE

A headphone jack is provided for using headphones instead of the built-in speaker. (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 power cord has a polarized plug that fits into the wall outlet only

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.

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 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 'VideoOut' and 'AUX OUT' jackswhenever 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 assoon as youget the setupcompleted 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 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

CONNECTINGA VIDEO COMPONENTFOR INPUT

Please follow the steps below to display CDG lyrics on the Singing Machine’s monitor from another video source:

(1) Locate the multicolored patch cords.

ENGLISH

(2) Connect video cable (yellow)to the Video In of theback of theSinging Machine. (3) Connect the other end of the Video Cable (yellow) to the Video Output on another video

source such asa VCR.

(4) Set the FUNCTION SELECT switch to AUX and the MONITOR ON/OFF switch to ON. (5) Adjust the BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST and VERTICAL HOLD Controls at the back of

the Singing Machine to have the best picture quality.
