  If the lyrics aren't showing up on the screen of your Singing Machine Karaoke System, ensure the video cable is correctly connected from the VIDEO OUT of the machine to the VIDEO IN of your TV. Also, make sure 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 VCR's VIDEO IN, or use an RF Modulator connected to the TV cable input. Finally, ensure the loaded disc is a clean CDG disc and the CDG indicator is lit.
