CONNECTING TO A VIDEO SYSTEM

In order to watch DVD, Kodak picture CD or sing-along with CDG on TV screen, you must connect the included
RCA cable (Red-White-Yellow colored plug cable) to the output jack on the rear panel of the unit. Then connect
the other end of the RCA plug to the AUX and VIDEO Input jack of the video system such as TV. (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. The following shows the connection
for connecting video system.

COMMON WAYS TO CONFIGURE YOUR TV OR VCR
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 antenna and Singing Machine), you have to specify which one is displayed on the screen.
If you have never used the video input RCA jack or coaxial cable on your TV/VCR you should consult your
TV/VCR user guide. 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.
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'.
