MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

If your television does not have the required Video Input, you will need an RF Modulator (Radio Frequency Modulator), which connects through your TV Antenna or cable line and serves as Video Input.

An RF Modulator can be purchased at almost any consumer electronics retailer. If you are connecting the video from the Singing Machine to either a television or a VCR video input jack, you must specify the source the TV or VCR is to display. Your TV or VCR user guide can tell you how to display the video signal from the ‘Video In’ jack.

If you don’t have the manual for your TV or VCR we suggest calling the TV or VCR manufacturer’s customer service department. Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you very quickly how to configure your TV or VCR to display the video signal coming from the ‘Video Input’ jack.

DNote: Some projection TV sets do not display the standard blue background used on most CDGs properly. If the background color is inconsistent or flashing, please try connecting your Singing Machine to a standard tube television.

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', 'LINE-IN' or occasionally the 'VCR' button will display the Video input source.
