MAKING THE CONNECTIONS  
CONNECTING POWER  
You can power the system from a standardAC outlet by using the supplied power cord.  
CAUTION: The supplied AC power cord has a polarized plug that fits into the wall outlet only one  
way. If the plug does not fit properly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.  
CONNECTING TO YOUR HEADPHONE  
A headphone jack is provided for using headphones instead of the built-in speaker.  
(Headphones are sold separately.)  
CONNECTING TO YOUR TV  
The Singing Machine provides a patch cord to give you the option of connecting your unit to an  
external audio/sound system and video device. The patch cord has three RCA jacks at each  
end; the White and Red are for left and right audio connections and the yellow is for connecting  
thevideo.  
Make sure that you have a CDG disc in the Singing Machine and playing when you are making  
this connection. You will know you have the proper settings on your TV or VCR as soon as you  
seetheSingingMachinelogoorlyricsonthescreen!  
VIDEO CONNECTION  
PleasefollowthestepsbelowtodisplayCDG lyricsontheTVscreen:  
(1) Locatethemulticoloredpatchcords.  
(2) Connect videocable(yellow)totheVideoOut of thesideof theSingingMachine.  
(3) Connect the other end of the Video Cable (yellow) to the Video Input on your TV or

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS  
If your television or VCR 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.  
D Note: Some projection TV sets do not properly display the standard blue background when  
using most CDGs. If the background color is inconsistent or flashing, please try connecting your  
SingingMachinetoastandardtubetelevision.  
COMMONWAYSTO CONFIGUREYOURTVORVCR  
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  
TVscreenassoonasyoucompletetheset upcorrectly.  
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 company for instructions). 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,  
choose the correct input on your TV/VCR to display lyrics from The Singing Machine instead of  
theusualinput fromthecableorantennae.  
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 contact your TV/VCR manufacturer for  
information either by phone or viewing their website for online assistance. We've listed below  
themost commonwaysof settingupaTV/VCR:  
(1) 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.  
(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'  
buttonwilldisplaytheVideoinput source.

Your wireless microphone contains a low power transmitter. When the EUT is power on and it  
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications  
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for wireless devices.  
IMPORTANT  
To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines hold the transmitter and  
antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimetres) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the  
antenna pointed up and away from the face. Ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5  
centimetres)fromyourbodywhenyouusingyourwirelessmicrophone.  
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could  
damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

disc according to the cleaning disc  
manufacturer instructions.  
If a lens cleaning disc is not available, use a  
clean, soft, dry cotton cloth to gently wipe the  
small, glass, fish-eye laser lens located in the  
CD players.  
NOTE: Do not use detergent  
or abrasive cleaning agents  
as they can damage the disc.  
To prevent fire or shock hazard,

THE SINGING MACHINE KARAOKE GLOSSARY OF TERMS  
In addition to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products, a few  
additional terms are used almost exclusively in karaoke. These terms are meant to familiarize  
you with the world of Karaoke. The features listed below may not necessarily pertain to the  
particular model Singing Machine that you have. The following are some brief explanations of  
karaoke terms:  
Echo:  
Echo adds depth and resonance to a singer's voice, without affecting the music. This echo is  
producedbycreatingminorcontrolledfeedbackinthesinger'svoice.  
Multiplex:  
Our multiplex recordings contain 2 copies of the same song. One version is a stereo recording of  
the song without the lead singer. The second version is recorded with the music and  
background vocals on the left channel and the lead singer recorded on the right channel. This  
‘split track’ recording allows you to control the volume of the lead singer by adjusting the balance  
control. You can sing a duet with the lead singer or use the lead singer as a guide as you learn  
the song, gradually fading them out with the balance control until you are able to sing the song  
onyourown.  
Auto VoiceControl (A.V.C.):  
When the AVC function is activated, the vocals on a multiplex recording are eliminated as soon  
as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the vocals on  
the multiplex recording are automatically re-activated. This useful function is used primarily  
during practice sessions while a singer is learning a song. Please note that the AVC function  
only works with multiplex recording and not with standard audio recordings.  
Pitch Control:  
This function controls pitch of music by controlling the speed at which a cassette tape plays  
back. By increasing the speed of the tape, the music sounds higher (sharp). By slowing the tape  
speed, the music sounds lower (flat).  
Key Controller:  
Key Controller changes the key of the CD/CDG music (+ or - steps) to adjust to the singer’s  
voice.  
CDG:  
This is an acronym for Compact Disc plus Graphics. You will also see variations CD+G, and  
CD+Graphics. This is a regular audio CD with information stored on a data track simultaneous  
to music. In laymen's terms, CDG has a video output for simple graphics (not full motion video).  
In the case of karaoke, the graphics function is used to store song lyrics, and display the lyrics in  
synch with music. In most cases, CDG software displays lyrics which change color as they are  
to be sung. A regular television is all that is required to display CDG lyrics.  
NOTE - CDG is a particular type of compact disc encoding system that is different from VCD or  
DVD. Your Singing Machine can decode standard audio compact discs and CDG discs. It will  
not read VCD or DVD encoded discs.  
Standard audio discs and cassette tapes will not display lyrics on your TV. Audio CDs do not  
contain the software necessary to display lyrics.
