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
audiosignalsto the'VideoOut' and'AUXOUT'jackswhenever youplay aCDG.So, loada CDG
into your Singing Machine before you start making these connections.You will see lyrics on the
TVscreenassoonasyougetthesetupcompletedcorrectly.
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 (contact your
satellitecompanyfor instructions). The setup of yourTV/VCR is the most difficultpartof 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
inputfromthecableorantennae.
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
commonwaysofsettingupaTV/VCR:
In the setup menu for configuring the TV/VCR there may be an option on 'Input Selection'
whereyoumaychoosebetween'Cable/Ant.','Video1',or'Video2'etc.astheinputsource.
Try looking for a 'Video' channel between the highest channel and the lowest channel on
yourTVorVCR.(i.e.Between99and2maybe'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'
buttonwilldisplaytheVideoinputsource.
