Note: If you have a mono TV with only one Audio In jack, you may have to purchase a “Y” adapter
(stereo to mono) at your local electronics accessories store in order to combine the Left and Right stereo
channels from this portable Karaoke to a single mono channel for connection to your mono TV.

3. You can connect the Audio Out jacks from this portable Karaoke to the Aux In or Audio In jacks of your

home stereo system to hear the sound through your home stereo speakers. Follow the instructions for
your home stereo system to select the device connected to the external jacks as the audio source.
