How To Set Up A Karaoke System With TV – Two Methods

Method #1: Using RCA Cable

This method is suitable for Old TVs which don’t have an HDMI port but have RCA input. Setting up your karaoke system with TV is a much easier process than you might have originally thought. In fact, it’s one of the simplest setups that you can complete, as there are only a few steps that need to be followed in order for you to successfully get it up and running.

Here is a step by step guide on how to do it:

Step 1: Turn off the TV and disconnect any devices that are plugged into it. This includes DVD players, gaming systems, etc.

Step 2: Connect your audio wires from the back of your karaoke machine into the Red and White RCA outlets on the back of your television using an RCA cable. Usually, you will notice that there is an input on the back of your TV marked as “Audio In” or something similar. If there is, use it instead of one of the Red and White outlets.

Step 3: Connect your video wires from the back of your karaoke machine into the Red and White RCA outlets on the back of your television using another RCA cable. If you happen to have a TV that only has one Red and White outlet, then your video will need to go into the Yellow RCA outlet instead of the Red or White one.

Step 4: Turn the TV on and turn the volume up on the TV. If you hear sound coming from it, then move on to the next step.

Step 5: Turn on your karaoke machine and go to the settings on it. Make sure that you set your karaoke machine to “TV” mode, also known as LINE IN mode.

Step 6: Skip to the next song on your karaoke machine and press play. If you can see lyrics on screen and hear sounds from the karaoke machines, then you’re all set congratulations! You’ve successfully set up your karaoke system with TV.

Method #2: Using HDMI Cable (Best For Smart TVs)

Make sure that you have a karaoke machine with HDMI input and output ports. If not, then get one now (Check our post on Best Karaoke Machines).

If you have a modern TV that has an HDMI input/output, then this is by far the easiest way to connect your home theater equipment (including speakers and karaoke machines) to your Smart Tv screen.

Let’s get started with the setup process.

Step 1: Turn off your Smart TV. Make sure that all devices are disconnected before continuing with the next step.

Step 2: Connect the HDMI cable to the karaoke machine and connect the other end of the cable to your TV. This is a digital cable with a complete audio and video signal, so there is never a problem with sound or picture.

Step 3: Plug in your karaoke machine and turn on the TV.

Step 4: Select the HDMI input source on your Smart Tv screen. It should appear as Karaoke Player.

Step 5: Play any CD+G song on your karaoke machine. Lyrics should now appear on your screen. You are now ready to sing along with your friends and family.

Note: If your TV does not have an HDMI input source, then you could use an A/V cable. This is composed of three cables (red, white, and yellow). If you want better picture quality, then use an HDMI cable.
