How to Connect Your System

Your new Miic Star MS-62 Karaoke System comes with two ways to connect (all cables included).

You have a standard AV / RCA connection cable which uses the red, white and yellow. This can be used in 2 ways.

For both options the single cable end, which has one black connection gets plugged into AV OUT, it must be pushed

in all the way so it makes full connection.

You also get the HDMI Connection cable which is one single thicker cable which carries video and audio through the

one connection, it needs to be plugged into the port marked HDMI.

Standard AV / RCA Connection

HDMI Connection

CONNECT TO TV

You can plug all three colours (red, white, yellow) into your TV for the sound and picture.

Or you can plug just the HDMI into your TV for the sound and picture.

However, bare in mind that your TV has small speakers and is not designed for singing karaoke. You may

notice a delay or distortion of the music and your voice through the microphones. This is a limitation of your

TVs functionality. We always recommend that you use a separate sound system for karaoke and we only

ever use TVs for the picture.

CONNECT TO

SOUND SYSTEM

You can plug the yellow only into your TV, for the

picture. And the red and white directly into an

amplifier or powered speaker.

Note: if you are using all three red, white and yellow

AV connections do NOT plug in the HDMI Cable.

You can use HDMI for the TV for the picture only.

And the red and white directly into an amplifier or

powered speaker.

USE HOME

THEATRE

Home Theatre Amplifier: Change the settings on your amplifier to 2-Channel Stereo, this will use only your

main two speakers and eradicate any delay you may have (delay caused by using 5.1 Surround Sound). Note:

If all your speakers are very small satellite speakers you may still need to turn the volume up considerably

and you might damage your speakers. Note: We do not recommend the use of sound bars for karaoke

whatsoever.

KARAOKE

AMP

Karaoke Mixing Amplifier: Our amplifiers all have the red and white inputs on the back, so you simply plug it

in, and ensure your speakers are connected properly.

POWERED

SPEAKER

Powered Speaker: If your powered speaker has the red and white audio inputs on it then you can just plug

them in directly. If your powered speaker has only got a line-in / AUX connection / headphone jack then you

will need a small adaptor that converts the plug from red and white to one single headphone jack.

HDMI

SETTING

When using HDMI (video) and AV red, white (sound)

together, you must change the Miic Star Setup.

Menu > Setup > Audio Output > Analog

This will send the sound through AV ports and

picture only through HDMI.

Song Book Creation

Your new Miic Star MS-62 Karaoke System has a very handy feature of creating a songbook for all your MP3+G and

MP4 Karaoke Files that are formatted correctly in the MYSONGS folder.

Step 1

Have all your songs loaded into the MYSONGS folder of the SD card and formatted correctly.

Step 2

Press SETUP button on the remote

Step 3

Select EXPORT ENGLISH SONGBOOK

Step 4

Press OKAY and wait a few minutes, it will tell you when its done.

Step 5

Once completed, you can insert the SD Card into your computer, and in the root directory you will see a MYSONGS

SONGBOOK.csv file. You can simply open and print this.

Step 6

When using the unit, simply type in the number of the song you want to using the remote

Use YouTube Videos

The Miic Star MS-62 Karaoke System is extremely versatile and lets you add and sing along with most video files,

specifically AVI/MP4 which you can download from your favourite YouTube videos.

How to download a video from YouTube: https://www.onlinevideoconverter.com/video-converter

Once the file is downloaded, copy and paste it into the DOWNLOAD folder on the SD Card, put it back in the machine

once copying is done and play!

Use a Powered Speaker

The Miic Star MS-62 Karaoke System is a compact karaoke multi-media device with 2 wireless microphones. You load

all your music onto the SD Card (See New SD Card Formatting Guide), plug it into your TV and sound system and start

singing.

A Powered Speaker means that the amplifier is built into the same box as the speaker, an all-in-one style unit, with

great sound projection, some include party lights and all include additional wireless microphones so more people

can sing! If you don’t have a Powered Speaker see www.portablekaraoke.com.au for more details.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to use a Powered Speaker with your Miic Star.

For the best sound results…

We recommend that you use your TV for the lyric video component and run the sound directly from the Miic Star

into a Powered Speaker, Amplifier and Speakers, or Home Theatre System. Though if using a Home Theatre, we

don’t recommend sound bars and you should change the settings on the amplifier to 2-Channel Stereo only

providing that you have two main speakers which have both a woofer and a tweeter in each to avoid damaging your

home theatre speakers.

If using HDMI, for both picture and audio directly through a TV you may find you get a digital delay when singing, this

is a limitation of the television and we recommend only using HDMI for the picture component and using the

analogue stereo RCA cable into a Powered Speaker, Amplifier and Speakers, or Home Theatre System, as you will not

experience any delays with the audio and vocals.

MP3+G Karaoke Files

The Miic Star MS-62 Karaoke System runs purely off an SD Card. Your unit will come with an SD Card with all your

songs purchased at the same time loaded onto it, if you didn’t purchase music you will get a blank SD Card however

we will format it for you. If you want to use your own SD Card, you will need to format it by inserting it in the

machine for 30 seconds until the screen resets prior to loading it up with your songs.

This is what an MP3+G Karaoke File looks like…

These files are mostly standard karaoke versions with cover guide vocals in the chorus line and wherever the original

artist had backing singers. No original artist performances are used. You can choose to purchase the MPX version

when choosing your songs to download. These are Multiplex (MPX) and have full guide cover vocals that you can

switch on and off. If you have MPX version files use the TVSYS button on the Miic Star MS-62 remote to turn vocals

on and off.

Get Your Songs Ready

Step 1 –Purchase your songs from www.karaokemp3g.com.au

Step 2 –Save these files to your computer in a safe place (keep a backup in case you ever need to restore your files

at a later date, if your files are lost and not backed up you will need to repurchase)

Step 3 –Unzip the files on your computer (right click and extract all) there will be 2 files per song, named the same

except for the .cdg and .mp3 extensions.

Step 4 –Rename the files so the Miic Star can recognise them and is able to make a songbook for you.

Your very FIRST song will be numbered: 100001, the rest will follow in sequential order.

Formatted like so: Song Number-Artist Name-Song Title

Note: Dashes are hard up against the names, no spaces between. No commas at all, use words like feat or and

instead.

Example:

100001-Kylie Minogue-Better The Devil You Know.cdg

100001-Kylie Minogue-Better The Devil You Know.mp3

Repeat for each song increasing the number sequentially as you go.

Tip! If you’re using your own SD Card make sure its 100% empty and formatted to FAT32 in a computer prior to

formatting in the Miic Star, even if its brand new.

Tip! The best way to rename a song is to do one file first then highlight and copy the text and paste into the next

file. Just be sure to not change either of the extensions at the end, the .cdg and .mp3

Step 5 –Now you can copy the songs to your SD Card. All your formatted MP3+G songs (2 files per song) into the SD

Card, open the KARAOKE folder > then put the songs into the MYSONGS folder on the SD Card. If you can’t see this

folder, you need to format the SD Card first, see the top of this document.

Note: Do not change, rename or delete any of the files or folders that the Miic Star has created otherwise functions

may not work and you may need to start again. You also cannot create folders within the MYSONGS folder, you must

copy all the files into this folder, only songs in the MYSONGS root directory will be seen and played on the Miic Star.

Step 6 - Now you can put the SD Card into your Miic Star, wait for it to update the database and once its complete,

sing!

Important Information and Key Tips

•The MYSONGS folder is the only place you can put your MP3+G songs.

•Do not create any additional folders on the SD Card at any point or functions may be lost, or your songs may

not be seen.

•Your songs must be unzipped prior to copying onto the SD Card or else they will not be seen. If you need

help unzipping, please see the www.picknmix.com.au/support

•Every MP3+G song must have two files per song, one is .cdg and the other is .mp3, if only one is present

then the song will not work/play.

•When renaming the songs, they need to be 100% the same, except for the file extension.

•The file extension is never to be altered or the song will not work/play.

MP4 Karaoke Files

The Miic Star MS-62 Karaoke System runs purely off an SD Card. Your unit will come with an SD Card with all your

songs purchased at the same time loaded onto it, if you didn’t purchase music you will get a blank SD Card however

we will format it for you. If you want to use your own SD Card, you will need to format it by inserting it in the

machine for 30 seconds until the screen resets prior to loading it up with your songs.

This is what an MP4 Karaoke File looks like…

These files are very crisp and clean and all include full on/off vocals that you can switch on and off using the TVSYS

button on the Miic Star MS-62 remote.

Get Your Songs Ready

Step 1 –Purchase your songs from www.karaokemp4.com.au

Step 2 –Save these files to your computer in a safe place (keep a backup in case you ever need to restore your files

at a later date, if your files are lost and not backed up you will need to repurchase)

Note: Dashes are hard up against the names, no spaces between. No commas at all, use words like feat or and

instead.

Example: 100001-Taylor Swift-Shake It Off.mp4

Repeat for each song increasing the number sequentially as you go.

*Note: If you do NOT want a songbook created then you can simply skip the renaming process and put the songs

once unzipped into the DOWNLOADS folder on the SD Card. They will then appear under DOWNLOADS from the

Miic Star menu.

Step 5 –Now you can copy the songs to your SD Card. All your formatted (must be formatted to create a songbook)

MP4 songs into the SD Card, open the KARAOKE folder > then put the songs into the MYSONGS folder on the SD

function

Formatted as in Step 2, can

generate a songbook

Troubleshooting: Wireless Microphone Pairing

If you find one or both of your Miic Star MS-62 Karaoke System are not working properly, buttons functioning and/or

the microphone sound component, firstly we’d recommend you try brand new batteries. And if one microphone is

working try the batteries from the working microphone in the one that’s not working. If this doesn’t help, the

microphones may need to be recalibrated and re-paired to the base unit. We’ve found in majority of cases this

recalibration / re-pairing of the microphones have fixed any issues.

Follow these steps to pair the microphones to the base unit…

Step 1 –Plug in the base unit to the TV and put two AA batteries in each microphone.

Step 2 –Make sure the base unit is off (light is red) and the two microphones are off (no lights).

Step 3 –Hold down the power button on the base unit until you see a box appear on the screen which says “pairing

mics” then you can let go

Step 4 –Now rather quickly, grab both microphones and hold down both the on switches on the microphones until

they are both flashing.

Step 5 –It will take a few minutes from here to recalibrate the microphones and pair them to the base unit. The

screen will reset in approx. 3 minutes and you’ll be able to use both microphones.

Note –If at first, immediately after recalibrating you try and use the microphones they don’t work it means they’re

not finished re-pairing, give it a few more minutes and they will both work.

Try Again –If the microphone recalibration / re-pairing doesn’t work the first time you can try it again, if your timing

is off with the recalibration steps above it may not work. Be sure to follow the steps closely.
