DC JACK OPERATION: 12V to 14V maximum.
Please have the sample CDG demo disc provided with your Singing Machine playing in the Singing
Machine when you are making these connections so you will see the lyrics on the screen as soon as you
have the setup completed correctly.
You must specify the source you wish to view when you are connecting the video out from the Singing
Machine to either a TV or a VCR. Every TV and VCR manufacturer accomplishes the set-up a little
differently. Even though every TV and VCR is a little different, the general idea is the same - if you have
two sources of video signal (cable or antennae and Singing Machine), you have to specify which one is
displayed on the screen.
If you have never used the video input RCA jack on your TV/VCR you should consult your TV/VCR user
guide. If you don’ t manual for your TV or VCR, we suggest calling the customer service department for
your manufacturer. They will be able to tell you very quickly how to configure your TV or VCR to display
the video connection.
The three most common ways to set up the TV/VCR are:
1) A ‘Video button may be on the TV/VCR or on the remote control. Pressing ‘Video ’ may display
the input from your Singing Machine.
2) Try looking for a ‘Video ’ channel between the regular channels on your TV/VCR. Do this by setting
the channel on the TV/VCR to channel 2 then pressing the ‘Down ’ channel button to see if there is a
‘Video In’ or ‘Line In’ between the lowest channel and the highest channel on your system.
3) The configuration may also be located in the set-up menu on the TV/VCR. Look for a section on
‘Input Selection ’ where you might be able to choose the input source i.e. ‘Cable/Ant. ’ , ‘Video
1 ’ , ‘Line In ’ or ‘Video In ’.
