If using HDMI, for both picture and audio directly through a TV you may find you get a digital delay when singing, this is a limitation of the television and we recommend only using HDMI for the picture component and using the analogue stereo RCA cable into a Powered Speaker, Amplifier and Speakers, or Home Theatre System, as you will not experience any delays with the audio and vocals. So HDMI for video output to TV and AV cable to sound system for Audio.Need to change Audio Output setting in SingMasters Setup Menu to Analog if using sound system output.

Picture connection:

Use HDMI from SingMasters player HDMI connection on the back direct to a HDMI input on your TV

Sound connection:

Plug the single end of the AV cable included into the AV out  on the back of SingMasters player ,this must be pushed in all the way to ensure complete connection.

The Red and White connectors from the AV Cable go directly into your Red and White AV inputs on your sound system or speaker.

In SingMasters choose Analog audio setting for sound to come from connected speaker.

SingMasters player Menu > Setup > Audio Output >Analog

We recommend that you use your TV for the lyric video component and run the sound directly from the SingMasters into a Powered Speaker, Amplifier and Speakers, or Home Theatre System. Though if using a Home Theatre, we don’t recommend sound bars and you should change the settings on the amplifier to 2-Channel Stereo only providing that you have two main speakers which have both a woofer and a tweeter in each to avoid damaging your home theatre speakers.

Check the HDMI or AV cable connection if correctly connected.Check the TV set is in A/V or HDMI mode.

If you have connected player with TV using HDMI cable,player is powered on with light on,Pls disconnect HDMI cable and connect to TV using supplied AV cable.

When home screen of SingMasters is presented ,go to  Setup> TV System and select AUTO.

Always remember to leave it to AUTO so display works using HDMI or AV cable both.

Once AUTO is selected,disconnect AV cable ,disconnect power and connect HDMI cable for display.

Both Mics come already paired with the SingMasters Unit.

If you find one or both of your SingMasters Karaoke System are not working properly, buttons functioning and/or the microphone sound component, firstly we’d recommend you try brand new batteries.

And if one microphone is working try the batteries from the working microphone in the one that’s not working. If this doesn’t help, the microphones may need to be recalibrated and re-paired to the base unit.

We’ve found in majority of cases this recalibration / re-pairing of the microphones have fixed any issues.

Follow these steps to pair the microphones to the base unit…

Step 1 – Plug in the base unit to the TV and put two AA batteries in each microphone.

Step 2 – Make sure the base unit is off (light is red) and the two microphones are off (no lights).

Step 3 – Hold down the power button on the base unit until you see a box appear on the screen which says “pairing mics” then you can let go

Step 4 – Now rather quickly, grab one microphones and hold down power button till the mic light flashes release it,do the same for another mic.

Step 5 – It will take a few minutes from here to recalibrate the microphones and pair them to the base unit. The screen will reset in approx. 3 minutes and you’ll be able to use both microphones.

Note – If at first, immediately after recalibrating you try and use the microphones they don’t work it means they’re not finished re-pairing, give it a few more minutes and they will both work.

Try Again – If the microphone recalibration / re-pairing doesn’t work the first time you can try it again, if your timing is off with the recalibration steps above it may not work. Be sure to follow the steps closely.

This steps in for pairing SM500 with UHF wireless mics.

Pairing code means match the receiver with the wireless microphones.The receiver and microphones are finished the pairing code by default when in factory.

When is pairing required ?

When the receiver and microphone are unable to connect

automatically, they need to be paired manually.

How to pair ?

Switch off both the receiver and the microphones,

Step 1: Switch ON the main receiver and go to the

SETUP menu.

Step 2: Select "MIC PAIR" and press "Enter" Select

"START" and press "Enter" at the POP UP menu.

Step 3: Press and hold the  play/stop  button of one

microphone, then press and hold the Power button of

the microphone till the power indicator light starts flashing,

The menu will display  "Please pair the second Mic!'

Release the buttons and power OFF that microphone.

Step 4: Repeat the step 3 to pair the other microphone.

The menu will display "Paired success!"

Microphones are now paired with the receiver.

The SingMasters Karaoke System is extremely versatile and lets you add any MP3+G Karaoke songs.

MP3+G is a karaoke file format that was created to allow CD+G karaoke to be played from a personal computer easily and quickly. MP3+G was created from the combination of the MP3 audio file (the CD audio is converted and compressed to MP3) and a raw CDG file which contains the RW subchannels from the CD+G track. It was first called MP3+G in combination of various audio formats synchronized to a CDG file.

MP3+G Folder in SD card is the only place to copy MP3+G songs files.

Every MP3+G song must have two files per song, one is .cdg and the other is .mp3, if only one is present then the song will not work/play.  When renaming the songs, they need to be 100% the same, except for the file extension.  The file extension is never to be altered or the song will not work/play.

1. Rename the files so the SingMasters can recognise them and is able to make a songbook for you. Your very FIRST song will be numbered: 200001, the rest will follow in sequential order. Formatted like so: Song Number-Artist Name-Song Title Note: Dashes are hard up against the names, no spaces between. No commas at all, use words like feat or and instead.

Example:

200001-Kylie Minogue-Better The Devil You Know.cdg

200001-Kylie Minogue-Better The Devil You Know.mp3

Repeat for each song increasing the number sequentially as you go.

Tip! The best way to rename a song is to do one file first then highlight and copy the text and paste into the next file. Just be sure to not change either of the extensions at the end, the .cdg and .mp3

2. Now you can copy the songs to your SD Card. All your formatted MP3+G songs (2 files per song) into the SD Card, open the KARAOKE folder > then put the songs into the MP3G folder on the SD Card. 

3. Now you can put the SD Card into your SingMasters player, when prompted to update DB ,select YES.Once its complete,Reboot the unit and you can choose the song added using song number or title,singer search and  sing! 

Key control,Tempo,Music,Mic,Echo volumes level can be adjusted using remote control keys.
