WARNING

AUTOMATIC DEGAUSSING

NOTE: This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from the digital apparatus

as set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of Industry in Canada. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television (which can be

determined by turning the equipment off), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

All color television receivers are sensitive to magnetic influences, usually caused by either moving the receiver from

one place to another or using certain electrical appliances near the receiver. The residual magnetism as it is called,

sometimes causes distortion which gives rise to “blotchy” areas of color in the picture. To avoid these effects the

receiver incorporates an automatic degaussing circuit which operates for a short while immediately each time the

receiver is switched on using the main switch. This circuit removes any residual magnetism in the metal parts of the

picture tube and therefore ensures that each time the receiver is switched on. If the set is moved or faced in a

different direction, the main switch must be switched off for at least 10 minutes in order for the automatic degaussing

circuit to operate properly.

. The audio signal will originate from the built-in speakers on the unit.

Please use the provided CDG disc to test the connections. The lyrics and music of songs on the disc will be

displayed on the Singing Machine.

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, please contact your TV/VCR manufacturer for information

either by phone or by viewing their website for online assistance. They will be able to tell you very quickly how to

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’.

Please follow the steps below to share your Singing Machine display on another video system:

(1) Locate the multicolor RCA patch cords.

(2) Connect yellow video cable to the Video Output jack, red audio cable to the Audio Right channel Output jack

and white audio cable to the Audio Left channel Output jack respectively on the back of the Singing Machine.
