CONNECTING POWER
You can power the system from a standard AC 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.
CONNECTION TO TV SET
In order to display song lyrics from CDG also to appear on TV screen, you must connect the
included video cable (yellow colored RCA single-plug) to the Video Output jack on the back of
your SMG-900 unit. Then connect the other end of the video plug (yellow) to the Video Input jack
of the television. 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.
Please have the sample CDG demo disc provided with your Singing Machine playing in the
Singing Machine when you are making these connections so you will see the lyrics on the
screen as soon as you have the setup completed correctly.
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 on your TV/VCR you should consult your
TV/VCR user guide. If you don’t have the manual for your TV or VCR, we suggest calling the
customer service department for your manufacturer. They will be able to tell you very quickly
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’.
