To use a DVD karaoke machine, you will need to integrate it into your existing home entertainment system. You will also need special karaoke CDs or DVDs to play on your machine.
Instructions
Connect Your DVD Karaoke Player to Your Television
1. Choose from among the available connections to hook your DVD karaoke player to your TV. Connect your karaoke player with the provided analog audio/video input/output jacks on older TV sets.
2. Use the coaxial cable audio connections that came with your DVD karaoke player to connect to your TV's sound system. This option can also be used by connecting through your television cable. Usually, cable TV connections allow for two or more devices.
3. Hook up video output from your DVD karaoke machine to your TV. Use the red, yellow and white connectors that come with the DVD player. Simply plug each connector into the correctly colored "video in" places on your TV. This will allow the DVD player to send images to your TV screen.
Adjust Your DVD Karaoke Player's Setttings
4. Turn on both the TV and the DVD player so that you can try out different system settings. This is also a good time to make sure you have connected the DVD player to your TV properly and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Set the microphone volume. Place a DVD into the player and press the "play" button. Once the song begins, try singing into the microphone to see how loud your voice is in relation to the music. Adjust the microphone volume until you have a fairly equal balance between your voice and the background music.
6. Select voice effects. Most DVD karaoke players allow you to add effects like echo and delay to your singing. Try out these settings by adjusting the knob (or using the remote control) while you are singing.
7. Use your remote control to turn on parental blocking of certain songs. On most DVD karaoke players, you simply go to the settings menu and create a password that must be entered for certain songs to play. Doing this allows you to let your kids play karaoke without worrying about inappropriate lyrics.
