CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL TV/MONITOR
The karaoke system provides a patch cord to give you the option of connecting your unit to an
external audio/video device. The patch cord has three RCA jacks at each end. White and Red are
for left and right audio connections and the Yellow is for video. Modern flat panel digital TV sets and
home music systems are usually equipped with corresponding color-coded RCA jacks to assist
correct connections. Make sure that you have a CD+G disc in the karaoke system playing when you
are making this connection. You will know you have the proper settings on your TV as soon as you
see the lyrics on the screen.
Video connection
Please follow the steps below to display CD+G lyrics on the TV screen:
1. Locate the color-coded patch cords.
2. Connect video cable (Yellow) to the VIDEO OUT (#22) on the back of the karaoke system.
3. Connect the other end of the video cable (Yellow) to the VIDEO/AV INPUT on your TV.
If your television does not have the required Video Input, you will need a RF modulator (Radio
Frequency Modulator), which connects through your TV Antenna or cable line and serves as your
Video Input. The RF Modulator can be purchased at almost any consumer electronics retailer. If you
are connecting the video from the karaoke system to a television video input jack, you must specify
the source the TV is to display. Your TV user guide can tell you how to display the video signal from
the 'Video In' jack. If you do not have the manual for your TV, we suggest calling the TV
manufacturer's customer service department. Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you
accurately how to configure your TV to display the video signal coming from the 'Video Input' jack.
Note:
Some projection TV sets do not properly display the standard blue background used on most
CD+G discs. If the background color is inconsistent or flashing, please try connecting your karaoke
system to a standard CRT/LCD television instead.
Common ways to configure your TV
1. You karaoke system is designed to connect to your TV. The karaoke system is constantly
sending the video and audio signals to the VIDEO OUT JACK (#22) and AUDIO OUT JACK (#23)
whenever you play a CD+G disc. So, load a CD+G into your karaoke system before you start
making these connections. You will see lyrics on the TV screen as soon as you have completed
the setup correctly.
