      If the song lyrics are not showing on the TV screen when using your Akai Karaoke System, ensure the video cable is properly connected from the karaoke system’s VIDEO OUT to the TV VIDEO IN. Also, check that the source selector on your TV is set to VIDEO. If your TV lacks a video line input, connect the system's VIDEO OUT to the VIDEO IN on your VCR/Home theater. Finally, make sure the disc is a CD+G and clean.

      If the CD player on your Akai Karaoke System isn't working correctly, it might be due to several reasons. First, ensure the disc is inserted correctly. Second, the disc may be dirty, so wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Third, the disc may be scratched or warped, so try using a new disc. Fourth, make sure you are using a disc with the correct identification logo. Fifth, moisture may have formed inside the CD deck, so wait about 20 - 30 mins to let it dry out. Finally, the karaoke system may need a reset. Disconnect the machine from the power source for 30 seconds then reconnect.
