  If your Singing Machine Karaoke System displays no song lyrics on the TV screen, ensure the video cable is correctly connected from the system's VIDEO OUT to the TV's VIDEO IN. Also, use your TV remote to select the correct VIDEO input. If your TV lacks a video line input, connect the system's VIDEO OUT to the VIDEO IN on your VCR/DVD player and ensure you are playing a CDG. Check that the CDG indicator is lit and the disc is clean. Ensure that you have selected the correct source on your TV using the TV remote.
