MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
COMMON WAYS TO CONFIGURE YOUR TV OR VCR
Your Singing Machine is designed to connect to your TV the same way you would connect a video camera, VCR or video game. The Singing Machine is constantly sending the video and audio signals to the 'Video Out' and 'AUX OUT' jacks whenever you play a CDG. So, load a CDG into your Singing Machine before you start making these connections. You will see lyrics on the TV screen as soon as you get the setup completed correctly.
We refer to TV/VCR because manufacturers use very similar ways to connect TVs and VCRs and you can connect your Singing Machine to a TV, VCR or satellite system. The setup of your TV/VCR is the most difficult part of making the connection for displaying your Singing Machine lyrics. In most homes, the TV has either a cable connected or antennae in use. Once you connect your Singing Machine to the TV/VCR, you must 'tell' your TV/VCR to display the input from the Singing Machine instead of the usual input from the cable or antennae.
Check your TV/VCR user manual for the easiest way to setup your particular entertainment system. If you don't have your manual you can always call your TV/VCR manufacturer for that information or try hitting their website for online assistance. We've listed below the most common ways of setting up a TV/VCR:
(1)In the setup menu for configuring the TV/VCR there may be an option on 'Input Selection' where you may choose between 'Cable/Ant.', 'Video 1', or 'Video 2' etc. as the input source.
(2)Try looking for a 'Video' channel between the highest channel and the lowest channel on your TV or VCR. (i.e. Between 99 and 2 may be 'VIDEO' or 'INPUT' or 'GAME')
(3)Look for a button on the remote control for the TV/VCR you are connecting to that says 'VIDEO', 'VIDEO 1', 'Game', 'AUX', 'EXT', 'LINE1',
CONNECTING A VIDEO COMPONENT FOR INPUT
Please follow the steps below to display CDG lyrics on the Singing Machine’s monitor from another video source:

(2)Connect video cable (yellow) to the Video In of the back of the Singing Machine.
(3)Connect the other end of the video cable (yellow) to the Video Output on another video source such as a VCR.
(4)Set the FUNCTION Selector to AUX and the MONITOR Selector to CDG.
(5)Adjust the BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST and VERTICAL HOLD Controls at the back of the Singing Machine to have the best picture quality.
