How to Connect your Magic Sing
Connection
Standard AV / RCA [TV]
HDMI [HDTV]
Step 1
Plug the power cable into the back of the Magic Sing Base Unit, and the wall plug into an
electricity wall socket.
The ET-23KH unit allows you to use HDMI (HD-TV) or standard RCA (red, white, yellow)
connections depending on the television/sound system which you are using.
Step 2
Choose your method of connection, AV or HDMI, and before doing anything, make sure the unit
is SWITCHED OFF.
Carefully slide back the top piece of plastic on the base unit revealing chip slots and a small
switch.
If you are using RCA, make sure the little black switch is toward “TV” and if you are using HDMI
connections, flick it over to “HD-TV”
Step 3
Connect the AV single black end into the Magic
Sing base unit
Connect one end of the HDMI into the back of
the base unit just under the text “HDTV”
Step 4
You can plug the AV cables in 4 ways. Directly
to your TV, into a Home Theatre System, into a
Dedicated Karaoke Amplifier with 2 Speakers
or into a Powered Speaker. See below for
details. All require the yellow cable to go
directly to your TV in a yellow video input.
Plug the other end of the
HDMI cable into a HDMI
input on your TV
Option 1
You can plug all three AV cables into your TV’s
RCA Input (red, white, yellow) however your
sound will only be as good as your TV speakers
are quite small and not really designed for
karaoke use. Should you use just your TV you
may receive a voice delay through the

3

microphones, this is a limitation of your TV.
Option 2
You can use a Home Theatre with red and
white cables directly into your amplifier but
should always change your amplifier settings to
2-Channel Stereo as all karaoke is in Stereo not
5.1 or 7.1 surround. However, be aware that
even if you're using 2-Channel stereo, if your
speakers are all very small satellite speakers
you may still have a delay and or cause damage
to them as they may be too small to handle
karaoke.
Please Note we never recommend the use of
sound bars for karaoke.
Option 3
When using one of our dedicated amplifier and
speaker packages, you plug the red and white
into the amplifier directly.
Option 4
Powered Speakers means the amplifier is built
into the one unit with the speaker, your Magic
Sing will connect using either the straight
red/white into the back of the speaker, or
depending on the speaker model using a AV
Jack to Line plug [Sold Separately].
Step 5
Once you’re connected the way you want to be, switch the base unit on.
Step 6
Slide the back covers off the microphones and correctly insert 2x AA batteries in each of them
and put the covers back on

Step 7
Switch the TV to the appropriate AV setting via
your Source or Input button [depends on
where you plugged it in on the back]
Switch the TV to the appropriate HDMI setting
via your Source or Input button [depends on
where you plugged it in on the back]
Step 8
Switch on both microphones till they show P-On which means they’re switching on
Step 9
Open up your Magic Sing songbook, once you have decided on a song to sing from your Magic
Sing song book, type the song number (you will find it on the left hand side of the book, beside
the “Song Title”) and press the GREEN “Play/Stop” button in the centre of the microphone.
Step 10
NOW SING!!!
Insert & Remove Additional Song Chips
Step 1 Turn off the microphones AND base unit, using the relevant off switches –unit can remain plugged in but
MUST be switched off. Please Note: Failure to follow these steps can result in damage to your Magic Sing unit and
or song chips and will result your warranty being voided.
Step 2 Remove the case on the top of the base unit, revealing chip slots.
Step 3 Take note of the ARROWS on the plastic near the chip slots, and those
which are on your Magic Sing chip.
Step 4 Facing the arrows the same way as is on the base unit, carefully insert the
chip. It may take a little push to get it in properly so that the unit can pick up the
songs.
Step 5 In order for the chips to work, they must be left in the top of the base unit
as the unit does not have any additional memory within itself.
Step 6 Use the DOWN arrow on your microphone to scroll through and select a
song, or use track number selection, as per previous instructions.

MP3+G Karaoke Tracks and Magic Sing
Yes, your Magic Sing ET-23KH is compatible with MP3+G Karaoke Files however there are a few limitations of the
Magic Sing unit with regards to the download format to be aware of.
Don't download songs on Windows® 8 operating system as the files are not compatible thereafter when loaded onto
USB stick, use Windows® 7 or earlier.
Songs listed as Multiplex Audio will playback on the ET-23K with full cover vocals so you can sing-along, you
cannot switch off the lead vocals with the ET-23KH so choose the standard version of the song if you don't want full
vocals.
During MP3+G playback you cannot change the Key or Tempo of the song.
Apple Mac® Important Notice: The downloading process as tabled above is for Windows® PC's only, if you are using
an Apple® Mac PC you need to use a free software program called "StuffIt Expander" instead of the built in Mac
utility which alters the MP3+G files upon download as it doesn't recognize the format, causing them to no longer
work. https://www.picknmix.com.au/info/support-apple.asp

FAQ Page
Q: Why do all the songs not have someone singing the whole way through?
A: Magic Sing does provide you with 22 Multiplex (full vocal, someone singing the song the entire way through),
however the majority are traditional Karaoke and will not have any guide vocals throughout the song.
Q: Where do the Magic Sing chips go?
A: The Magic Sing chips get inserted into the base unit, underneath the little plastic cover. Make sure the arrows on
the unit and the chips are facing the same way before inserting (there are instructions above)
Q: Why is the picture not appearing on my television?
A: Have you switched the TV/HDTV switch over to the appropriate option (do so when unit is switched OFF), this will
prevent your unit from appearing on your TV if it is not flicked to the right side.
Q: Does the base unit charge the microphones when they are stationed in it?
A: No, the microphones are operated by 2x AA Batteries, and therefore the unit itself doesn’t recharge when the
microphones are on the holder, they are simply decorative and a means of storing your microphones without
causing damage to them.
Q: Where is the chip for the 2000+ included songs? Can I take them out if I don’t like them?
A: The Magic Sing unit comes with over 2000 songs included; however, these songs are hard wired, and built-into the
base unit itself and are not a detachable chip, therefore they cannot be removed, and individual songs cannot be
taken off.
Q: Can I make my own chip up with my own chosen songs?
A: There is currently no facility for making your own chip in Magic Sing, however you are lucky! The ET-23KH you just
purchased, does allow you to do MP3+G downloads and play them through a USB port on the front of your base
unit, see instructions above of how to download and get your downloaded music onto your unit.
Q: Why is my voice delayed over the music when I sing? I have the unit plugged straight into my TV, what am I
doing wrong?
A: Reasons you may be experiencing some voice delay is if you are plugged in solely to your television, your TV
speakers will be working overtime trying to push out the sound of the music and your voice at the same time. As
they are generally small speakers and you have to turn the volume up considerably. Your television may not be able
to cope, resulting in this delay. Use your home theatre system/amplifier (see page 2) as you will bypass your
television speakers.
Also, if using just HDMI cable there will be a vocal delay as HDMI has inherent issue with microphone delay, your
singing will be a few seconds behind the music/lyrics when using the analogue RCA (Red/White/Yellow) cable
doesn’t have this issue. The unit can only use either HDMI or RCA you cannot use both at the same time unlike the
www.miicstar.com.au system which can do both at the same time using just HDMI for video and sending the audio
via the analogue signal.
