SELECTINGYOUR KARAOKE MACHINE ASYOUR SOURCE/INPUT

Selecting your Karaoke Machine as a source / input on your TV is very similar to connecting a VCR/DVD or Satellite system. We’ve listed below the most common ways of selecting the source from your TV or VCR / DVD player: 1. In the set up menu of the TV or VCR / DVD player there may be an option for “Input Select” where you can choose between “Cable/Ant., Video 1, Video 2, etc” as the input source. 2. Look for a TV channel between the highest and lowest on your TV or VCR / DVD player (i.e AUX, EXT, LINE 1 or LINE IN) 3. Your remote control for either your TV or VCR / DVD player may have source input selections as well as detailed as the following: “Video, Video 1, Game, AUX, EXT or LINE-IN.” Choosing one of those sources in most cases should display the lyrics from your Karaoke Machine as well. AUDIO CONNECTION As an alternative to listening to the audio through your TV, you can listen through your home stereo system. Connect the unit to your home stereo system using the White and Red connections on the supplied AV cable. You may require an additional red/white lead (not included) to reach your home stereo system. Plug the white end of the cable into the white AUDIO OUT socket on the unit. Plug the red end of the cable into the red AUDIO OUT socket on the unit. Now connect the other end of the cable’s white (left channel) and red (right channel) plugs to your home stereo system’s ‘AUX IN’ sockets.
