Try a different TV input. – Some VCDs require PAL or NTSC setting – adjust via setup menu (hold STOP + PLAY? – see manual). | | No sound | – Try L/R button on remote (karaoke discs often have vocals on left, music on right). – Check red/white cables. | | Disc not reading | – Clean disc. VCDs are sensitive to scratches. – Try a CD – if that works, lens may need cleaning (use a CD lens cleaner disc). | | Skipping/pixelation | – Dirt on disc or laser lens. – Warped disc. | | Remote not working | – Replace batteries. – Point directly at sensor (often near display). | | Karaoke mic no sound | – Turn MIC VOLUME knob (on front). – Some units require dynamic mics (not condenser). – ECHO control adjusts reverb. | – Some VCDs require PAL or NTSC setting
