We have provided RCA cables to connect your unit to a TV, VCR/DVD player, video device or an external
audio/sound system. The RCA cables have three connections at each end (white and red are for left and
right audio connections and the yellow is for video connection).
Please follow the steps below to display CD+G lyrics on the TV screen:
(1) Locate the multi-colored RCA cables.
(2) Connect video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUT jack of the front of the Singing Machine.
(3) Connect the other end of the video cable (yellow) to the video input on your TV or VCR/DVD

SELECTING YOUR SINGING MACHINE AS YOUR SOURCE/INPUT
Selecting your Singing Machine as a source/input on your TV is very similar to connecting a VCR/DVD or
Satellite system.
We’ve listed below the most common ways of selecting the source from your TV or VCR/DVD Player:
(1) In the set up menu of the TV or VCR/DVD player there may be an option for “Input Select” where
you can choose between “Cable/Ant., Video 1, Video 2, etc.” as the input source.
(2) Look for a TV channel between the highest and lowest channel on your TV or VCR/DVD player
(i.e. AUX, EXT, LINE 1 or LINE IN)
(3) Your remote control for either your TV or VCR/DVD player may have source input selections as
detailed below:
“VIDEO, VIDEO 1, GAME, AUX, EXT or LINE-IN.“ Choosing one of those in most cases should
display the lyrics from your Singing Machine as well.
AUDIO CONNECTION
Please follow the steps below to connect the unit to your TV or VCR or home stereo system:
(1) Locate the multicolored RCA cables.
(2) Connect audio cables (White and Red) to the Audio Out (White-Left and Red-Right)of the front of
the Singing Machine.
(3) Connect the other end of the audio cables to the audio/auxiliary input on your TV or VCR or home
stereo system.
