result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to

its normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING POWER

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

CAUTION: The supplied AC power cord has a polarized plug that fits into the wall outlet only one

ENGLISH

way. If the plug does not fit properly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.

CONNECTION TO YOUR HEADPHONE

A Headphone Jack is provided for using headphones instead of the built-in speaker.
(Headphones are sold separately.)

CONNECTING TO YOUR TV

The Singing Machine includes a patch cord to provide you the option of either connecting an
external audio/sound system and/or video device. The patch cord has three RCA plugs at each
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 Singing Machine logo or lyrics on your TV screen will insure you have connected your TV or
VCR properly.

VIDEO CONNECTION

Please follow the steps below to display CDG lyrics on the TV screen:
(1) Locate the multicolored patch cords.
(2) Connect video cable (yellow) to the Video Out jack on the back of the Singing Machine.
(3) Connect the other end of the Video Cable (yellow) to the Video Input on your TV or

VCR.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

If your television or VCR 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 display the video signal from 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 customer service department. Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you very
quickly how to configure your TV or VCR to display the video signal coming from the ‘Video
Input’ jack.

DNote: Some projection TV sets do not properly display the standard blue background when

using most CDGs. If the background color is inconsistent or flashing, please try connecting your
Singing Machine to a standard tube television.

COMMON WAYS TO CONFIGURE YOUR TV OR 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. You will
have the ability to view lyrics on your TV screen as soon as you 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 for instructions). 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,
choose the correct input on your TV/VCR to display lyrics from The Singing Machine instead of
the usual input from the cable or 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 please contact your TV/VCR manufacturer for
information either by phone or by viewing their website for online assistance. We've listed below
the most common ways of setting up a TV/VCR:

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

(1)

where you may choose 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

(2)

your TV or VCR. (i.e. between 99 and 2 also could be one of the following: 'VIDEO',’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 Video input source.

E8

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING A VIDEO COMPONENT FOR 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 the back of the Singing Machine.
(3) Connect the other end of the Video Cable (yellow) to the Video Output on another video

source such as a VCR.
Set the FUNCTION SELECT to AUX mode and the MONITOR ON/OFF switch to ON.

(4)
(5) Adjust the BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST and knobs located under the

monitor of the Singing Machine for the best picture quality.
