COMMONWAYSTOCONFIGUREYOURTVORVCR
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
audiosignals tothe'VideoOut'and 'AUXOUT'jackswhenever youplayaCDG.So, loadaCDG

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
satellite companyfor instructions).The setupofyour TV/VCRis themost difficultpart ofmaking
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.astheinput source.
Try looking for a 'Video' channel between the highest channel and the lowest channel on
yourTVorVCR.(i.e.Between99and2may 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'
buttonwilldisplaytheVideoinputsource.
