Please have the sample CDG demo disc provided with your Singing Machine playing in the
Singing Machine when you are making these connections so you will see the lyrics on the

You must specify the source you wish to view when you are connecting the video out from the
Singing Machine to either a TV or a VCR. Every TV and VCR manufacturer accomplishes the
set-up a little differently. Even though every TV and VCR is a little different, the general idea is
thesame-ifyouhavetwosourcesofvideosignal(cableorantennaandSingingMachine),you
havetospecifywhichoneisdisplayedonthescreen.
If you have never used the video input RCA jack on your TV/VCR you should consult your
TV/VCR user guide. If you don’t have the manual for your TV or VCR, we suggest calling the
customer service department for your manufacturer. They will be able to tell you very quickly
howtoconfigureyourTVorVCRtodisplaythevideoconnection.
ThethreemostcommonwaystosetuptheTV/VCRare:
1) A ‘Video’ button may be on the TV/VCR or on the remote control. Pressing ‘Video’ may
displaytheinputfromyourSingingMachine.
2) Try looking for a ‘Video’ channel between the regular channels on your TV/VCR. Do this by
setting the channel on the TV/VCR to channel 2 then pressing the ‘Down’ channel button to
seeif thereis a‘Video In’ or ‘Line In’ between the lowest channel and the highest channel on
yoursystem.
3) Theconfigurationmay also be located intheset-up menu on the TV/VCR.Lookfor a section
on ‘Input Selection’ where you might be able to choose the input source i.e. ‘Cable/Ant.’,
‘Video1’,‘LineIn’or‘VideoIn’.
DCJACKOPERATION:12Vto14Vmaximum.
A DC jack is provided for external DC power for use in a car, boat or RV. Please be sure that
inside of the jack is connected to ⊕12Vside and the outside of jack is connected to , negative
