THE SINGING MACHINE KARAOKE GLOSSARY OF TERMS
In addition to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products, a few
additional terms are used almost exclusively in karaoke. These terms are meant to familiarize
you with the world of Karaoke. The features listed below may not necessarily pertain to the
particular model Singing Machine that you have. The following are some brief explanations of
karaoketerms:
Echo:
Echo adds depth and resonance to a singer's voice, without affecting the music. This echo is
producedbycreatingminorcontrolledfeedbackinthesinger'svoice.
Multiplex:
Our multiplex recordings contain 2 copies of the same song. One version is a stereo recording of
the song without the lead singer. The second version is recorded with the music and
background vocals on the left channel and the lead singer recorded on the right channel. This
‘split track’ recording allows you to control the volume of the lead singer by adjusting the balance
control. You can sing a duet with the lead singer or use the lead singer as a guide as you learn
the song, gradually fading them out with the balance control until you are able to sing the song
onyourown.
AutoVoiceControl(AVC):
When the AVC function is activated, the vocals on a multiplex recording are eliminated as soon
as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the vocals on
the multiplex recording are automatically re-activated. This useful function is used primarily
during practice sessions while a singer is learning a song. Please note that the AVC function
onlyworkswithmultiplexrecordingandnotwithstandardaudiorecordings.
PitchControl:
This function controls pitch of music by controlling the speed at which a cassette tape plays
back. By increasing the speed of the tape, the music sounds higher (sharp). By slowing the tape
speed, themusicsoundslower(flat).
KeyController:
Key Controller changes the key of the CD/CDG music (+ or - steps) to adjust to the singer’s
voice.
CDG:
This is an acronym for Compact Disc plus Graphics. You will also see variations CD+G, and
CD+Graphics. This is a regular audio CD with information stored on a data track simultaneous
to music. In laymen's terms, CDG has a video output for simple graphics (not full motion video).
In the case of karaoke, the graphics function is used to store song lyrics, and display the lyrics in
synch with music. In most cases, CDG software displays lyrics which change color as they are
to be sung. A regular television is all that is required to display CDG lyrics.
NOTE - CDG is a particular type of compact disc encoding system that is different from VCD or
DVD. Your Singing Machine can decode standard audio compact discs and CDG discs. It will
notreadVCDorDVDencodeddiscs.
Standard audio discs and cassette tapes will not display lyrics on your TV. Audio CDs do not

to an external audio/sound system and 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 connecting
thevideo.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
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.
An RF Modulator can be purchased at almost any consumer electronics retailer. If you are
connecting the video from the Singing Machine to either a television or a VCR video input jack,
you must specify the source the TV or VCR is to display.Your TV or VCR user guide can tell you
howtodisplaythevideosignalfromthe‘VideoIn’jack.
If you don’t have the manual for your TV or VCR we suggest calling the TV or VCR
manufacturer’s customer service department. Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you very
quickly how to configure your TV or VCR to display the video signal coming from the ‘Video
Input’jack.
COMMONWAYSTOCONFIGUREYOURTVORVCR
Your Singing Machine is designed to connect to your TV the same way you would connect a
video camera, VCR or video game. The Singing Machine is constantly sending the video and
audio signals to the 'Video Out' and 'AUX OUT' jacks whenever you play a CDG. So, load a CDG
into your Singing Machine before you start making these connections. You will see lyrics on the
TVscreenassoonasyougetthesetupcompletedcorrectly.
We refer to TV/VCR because manufacturers use very similar ways to connect TVs and VCRs
and you can connect your Singing Machine to a TV, VCR or satellite system.The setup of your
TV/VCR is the most difficult part of making the connection for displaying your Singing Machine
lyrics. In most homes, the TV has either a cable connected or antennae in use. Once you
connect your Singing Machine to the TV/VCR, you must 'tell' your TV/VCR to display the input
fromtheSingingMachineinsteadoftheusualinputfromthecableorantennae.
Check your TV/VCR user manual for the easiest way to setup your particular entertainment
system. If you don't have your manual you can always call your TV/VCR manufacturer for that
information or try hitting their website for online assistance. We've listed below the most
commonwaysofsettingupaTV/VCR:
(1) In the setup menu for configuring the TV/VCR there may be an option on 'Input Selection'
whereyoumaychoosebetween'Cable/Ant.', 'Video1', or'Video2'etc. astheinputsource.
(2) Try looking for a 'Video' channel between the highest channel and the lowest channel on
yourTVorVCR. (i.e. Between99and2maybe'VIDEO'or'INPUT'or'GAME')
(3) Look for a button on the remote control for the TV/VCR you are connecting to that says
'VIDEO', 'VIDEO 1', 'Game', 'AUX', 'EXT', 'LINE1', 'LINE-IN' or occasionally the 'VCR'
buttonwilldisplaytheVideoinputsource.

MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
AUDIO CONNECTION
Connect the SMG-138 to your TV or home stereo system using the White and Red connections
on the supplied patch cord. Plug the white end of the patch cord into the white input jack on the
SMG-138. Plug the red end of the patch cord into the red input jack on the SMG-138. Now
connect the other end of the cable’s white (left channel) and red (right channel) plugs to your TV
