connecting the unit to an external amplifier and/ or a TV to
display lyrics on-screen. The cable 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.
Some projection TV sets do not display the standard blue
background used on most CD+Gs properly. If the background
colour is inconsistent or flashing, please try connecting your
karaoke system to a standard television.
