Hi Eddie! Thank you so much for this video! I’m trying to get a karaoke setup for my son’s birthday and this is sooooo much better than getting the new magic sing machine because I like to sing Japanese songs but need the romanized versions which RUclips has! So, thank you, thank you, thank you for this tutorial!!! ❤️
Thanks for sharing! Upon viewing this was able to set-up my karaoke optimizing my Apple TV 3rd generation. Sound is fantastic with the use of DAC which i bought from online.
Ed, I just want to thank you for this very helpful video, and thank you for posting down the link . I just got my mixer and all those wirings needed as well as the microphone and the converter. Wish me luck this weekend. It’s gonna be a fun weekend ... I already picked up my six packs of Stella Artois last night....Beer & Karaoke? Nothing is better than that!!! Big thank you from the Big Apple!!!👍🏼
Thank you for this 🙏🏾 I’m thinking of ways to incorporate karaoke into my dj business. For private parties, not a bar/club environment. But I didn’t want to go the route of doing a karaoke software. This is exactly what I was looking for just couldn’t put it into words lol.
Wonderful...Could you share where is the HDMI of your Apple TV going. When u select "Cbl/SAT" how come the video comes out to the HDMI and the audio goes to the the CBL/Sat input..thanks
In case anyone else got stuck on this step: the HDMI from the Apple TV needs to be routed directly to the TV itself (not through the receiver). This way the Apple TV audio will properly run through the optical out into the mixer, then to the receiver. Meanwhile the video will run directly to the TV to display the lyrics. Just make sure the TV source/input is set to the Apple TV, not the receiver. Once I got that figured out, this setup has been awesome!
Just tried it🤔 do I need thicker RCA cables because I'm getting almost nothing out of the mics. My mixer shows that it is picking it up, it's just not outputting anything
Michael, The thickness of the cables does not matter. Make sure the level input and output on the mixer are turned up. Are you using the same mixer and mics as the one in this video? The mics also have a level output control.
Mr Nelson, I just want to say “ a million thanks “to you. I got all the items you posted, from the mixer to the Apple TV 3rd gen and all the wirings & run it with my very old Bose GSX 321 series home theater system. Bingo !!! It works great. Amazing karaoke sound with a lot of money save 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 God bless !🙏🏼
So you don t need to but the optical converter analog to optic... please can you explain how to to with Apple TV 4K my amplifier is a Yamaha rx v677 ...
Simple explanation. Thank you! I’m not able to display video as I’ve to disconnect hdmi in order for audio to output from Apple TV to receiver. I’ve a projector for display, receiver, Apple TV, DAC, Mixer and microphone unit in my set up. Please advise on how to display video.
@@khoa4377 i found the solution. You need to have ypur proyectoe with two hdmi imputs. First way is to have a proyector woth thw hdmi enters or have two hdmi cables.
Hello Sam. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Were you able to get it to work? The Apple TV will always output audio through the optical port. If you have it set up like I have it it should work. The issue most likely sounds like your ARC “audio return channel” on your receiver turned on. This is overriding the analog input from the mixer.
Hi Eddie, thank you for your video, after saw you video, i used apple tv 4k + Projector + HDMI to HDMI with Audio+ mixer + onkyo + mic. But when i select cbl/sat on onkyo, the system didn't show karaoke and mic can't work. Are you have any suggestion? Thanks
Nice vid. Can the same setup work without Apple TV and receiver. Thinking using mixer, with smart tv and sound bar as well with QSC speakers connected to mixer. I have the peavey Pv 10 AT with built in auto tune.
Eddie, thank you for sharing your setup. I am curious if this is still the best setup, and if you think it would be possible to have a set of 4 microphones.
I haven't used that software yet. But from what it can see online it looks like it should work. As long as you can get the audio output correctly. I will look into this app more. Looks fun. Karafun has a ton of RUclips videos too.
@enelson83 so I know that the app has to be able to analyze your voice connotations in order to score you which I think means that the app would need pick up the microphone as an input device via USB c or lighting (apple product).
So from what I have researched it seems to use the smartphone or tablet's microphone to pickup your voice. You would need to have a microphone plugged into either device. The AppleTV does not allow for an input device. You would need to mirror (Airplay) from the app to the TV then your iPhone or Tablet can listen to you sing. Not sure if this will work.
Hey Ed! Thanks for the video! I have a question. I have exact same mixer and receiver. I’m trying to connect it from a newer model Samsung tv that has an optical plug. I tried to connect from the tv to the converter and everything else just like you, but there’s no sound coming from the tv. I can hear the mics fine though. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thank you!!
Hi Eddie i really love your karaoke set up. Can you help me to set up my home karaoke? I have my projector, Bose L1 compact and planning to buy yamaha mic mixer like yours.
Can you please help me on how to connect my Bose t4 for karaoke on smart tv ? I’m using a Bose soundbar 700. Right now I also have the soundtown karaoke mixer with wireless microphone. Thank you!
Actually I figured it out. Deleted my other comments where I was asking how to do it. Yes you do connect the hdmi to the receiver ... but you have to switch the audio input for Apple TV to analog (ie the red white rca cable that you connected from the mixer). Works great! When I say switch Apple TVs input , I mean in your receiver, you switch to Apple TV as the video source and switch audio input source from hdmi to analog.
First of all thanks for your video. How fo you set up the video from apple tv to receiver? I tried to use hdmi cable from apple tv to receiver it works only with the video but theirs no microphone sound .. Hoping you should show also how to set up the video and the microphone audio at the same time for your next video. Thanks…
Yes that would work as well! I wanted to make a video using the tv but my smart tv isn’t smart anymore. It’s actually a better setup using the android TVs platform. The best part is you can cue up songs to play next and other people on your network with the RUclips app can add their own songs as well. I will do a video for this soon. Thank you for watching.
ok Y’all, I install everything that Eddie recommended from amazon and guitar center. i was having issues getting the audio and video from apple tv mixing it with the mics sound. Well as it turns out my receiver was just too old to mix the mics and video and audio from appletv. So if you’re having the issues I was having you might have to upgrade the receiver. i went from a 10yrs old yamaha to a 2020 Onkyo. Problem solved. Let the karaoke begin.
If your receiver has AirPlay 2 capability then you might. You would need to set that input to output audio over airplay 2. If you have a smart TV capable of airplay 2 then you might as well. You could bypass the Apple TV. I would have to do some research on that. That would be a great feature! Thank you for watching.
Hi good afternoon. Excuse me .. The apple tv is also connected to the Receiver or is connected to the TV?. I have a projector. In this case the Apple TV must be coneccted to the proyector or the receiver?. Thank you for your answer.
Hi Eddie, thank you for the information and great video. I have a question, what is the manufacture and model of the speakers you are using in your setup. Thanks!!!
This is the most informative karaoke set up video I’ve seen in RUclips. I’ll purchase all the hardwares listed below, except that, I’ll use my old Bose GSX 321 series II as my receiver. Sir, do you think it will work? I’m using Apple TV and it’s optical input/output to listen my music. The Bose console has no HDMI input. If I’ll remove the Apple TV optical cable from my Sony Bravia , I’m worried this set up will not work. I need your advice . Thanks !
Hi Ed, I have a 4K Apple TV which does not have optical port. Where do I connect the other end of the optical port from optical converter. The rest of the setup is the same as yours except that I use projector
I followed your setup exactly, thank you, but I am getting an annoying delay of miliseconds on the voice. The amp has a delay setup but is already in the minimum setting. Do you have advise?
Thanks for the great video, mate! I think if I used a pair of powered speakers, I can connect them directly to the mixer’s output (L and R) without having to use the receiver. Is that correct?
Hi, do you mind sharing a photo of your MG06X settings? I have the same mixer and my audio system is quite decent (Kef speakers, Marantz receiver), but for some reason I just couldn’t get it to sound very good. I tried playing with the settings but just can’t seem to get it right...
Hi eddie. Hav few questions. I have a roku connected to my TV and the sounds goes to my soundbar. Can i use the optical of my soundbar going to the mixer or i need a converter?
Nice! This is the long time im looking for. But my case is nvdia shield. Can you do that using nvdia shield this time? Did appletv can output hdmi and optical at the same time? What about the audio coming from hdmi?
hello Eddie , I tried your setup and so far I was able to see my computer screen mirror image to my TV with good sound . coming out from my speakers , But unfortunately my MIC has no sound , but when i talk I can see the lights going up and down on the mixer ,but has no sounds . I used and follow everything you said . Will you please advise ? thank you
Sheila D. Jone I think you need to increase the Mic volume in the Mixer and the stereo volume too. It worked for me. I am unable to post the picture of mixer here to show you my settings. I set it up on Sunday and it is working perfectly.
They call them XLR cables. The only thing you need to be careful of is you may need external power to run the corded mics. I would get the wireless ones in the video. They have worked perfectly and you can buy rechargeable batteries for them. They work from about 200 feet too so there are no delays or drop outs.
You could play the music through the homepods but not the mics. Apple is very particular about their integration with other products. Great question though. If anything changes I’ll keep you posted.
Hello Eddie.....I wondered if you could answer a question about an older Karaoke Machine i was given. It is an AudioLogic unit for CDs and CDGraphics. I put a CD in and it just rotates 10 seconds.......The FFWD and REW buttons have no effect either.
Heard from a few people you're supposed to use PA speakers instead of home theater speakers for karaoke, but I really want to use HT speakers instead for cost and aesthetic reasons. Can you confirm that you're speakers are still working fine and how often do you use the karaoke?
Hi Chole. I’ve been using karaoke about 4-5 times a month for the past 3-4 years on the same tower HT speakers. They are completely fine. If you see how a speaker works PA vs HT they “work” the same. The big difference is the PA speakers are self powered which makes them louder! My HT are plenty loud and sound fantastic. Just make sure your receiver has enough power to run the HT tower speakers. A good rule of thumb is about 120 watts RMS.! Have fun singing!!
Hi Eddie, nice little vid. Thanks! I'm trying to decide on the neatest setup for my home right now - I was just wondering - why are you using the ipad and not the RUclips directly on the apple tv? would be interested in your reply!
Hi Ernesto, if you are going to be close to the speakers make sure the mic is pointed away from them. Pointing the mic at the speaker causes feedback. It’s best if you can move farther away from the speakers. There isn’t another option other than moving further away from the speakers. You can adjust the gain levels on the mixer too.
**cables** www.guitarcenter.com/Livewire/Advantage-Interconnect-Dual-Cable-RCA-Male-to-1-4-TS-Male.gc I also used these for extra room behind my receiver. www.guitarcenter.com/American-Recorder-Technologies/RCA-Male-to-RCA-Female-Right-Angle-Adapter-Nickel-1273887987152.gc
Thank you. I was able to pickup some from Amazon. I have a little issue with my setup if you could help. I'm using the same Yamaha mixer. I have an Android box and converted the signal from digital to analog. The problem I have is when I switch the digital audio on the Android TV box to SPDIF, I'm able to hear my voice from the microphone, but no sound from the TV box when a song is playing on RUclips. When I switch the digital sound on the TV box to PCM, I can get the sound through the speakers from RUclips, but no sound from the mic. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.
Like this walk-through and how-to on setup. Question: Would you, or anyone who reads the comments, know how to get the audio to go to both the receiver and into the mic port on an iPhone for Facebook Live? Essentially, I want to be able to see a clean audio feed to Facebook while I can hear my performance in my home.
Yes you can use your smart tv instead of the Apple TV. My smart tv function is not working on mine. As long as the tv has an optical or rca audio output. Enjoy.
I notice every setup has an amplifier. I connect my speakers directly to my mixer with XLR cables. Do you think the amplifier will enhance to quality of the sound? My speakers sounds great with just music but when trying to sing, it seems really flat. I got bad feedback issues too.
Hi Eddie, it was very helpful. But, I have a few question, since I'm not into home audio that much. Can I skip the receiver? For example, I put a music player (whatever it is), and mics into the mixer, then goes directly to the power amp then speaker? This is more pro audio routing, but is it okay to skip receiver if I don't use it that much? Thanks mate.
Is it necessary to have an amplifier if I have a set of powered speakers/monitors? Could I go straight out of the mixer and into the speakers, in that case? ALSO: If you have a newer Apple TV without the optical out, but you have an unused optical out on your TV, could you use that into the converter, if the Apple TV is going into the flatscreen? I know that's jamming another step into the signal, which generally isn't what you want to do.
Can this setup work with just using the RUclips app on your smart TV? Meaning I don't have an Apple TV but I do have a Chromecast but I would prefer to keep it 'cleaner' and run it off of my smart tv instead?
Hey Eddie, I followed your instructions here but instead of an Apple TV, I connected to a PS4. However, I can’t seem to make it work. I have the optical from PS4 to the converter. Output to the 5/6line on the mixer and then mixer output to my Onkyo but can’t make it work. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Hi Luis, thank you for watching. Is there a setting in the ps4 to allow for optical output? Also did you switch the Onkyo receiver to allow analog input from the mixer?
@@enelson83 thank you for the quick reply Eddie. Yes, I have the PS4 setup for LPCM with optical audio. So far, I have only be able to make it work by connecting the tv to converter and the the mixer to the front aux of my onkyo receiver. Where do I change my onkyo setting to allow analog input? That might be what I am missing. I don’t have the user manual so I am not sure how to do that.
Hi Eddie, i followed exactly what you did and have the same mixer however my airplay screen does not display in my tv and my mic does not work either? Thanks
Hi, I have the same setup but when I change the input on the receiver to analog, I can see all the sounds but no video. When I change it to hdmi, I can see the video and sound but nothing from the mic. Any help would be great
This depends on the receiver you are using. You need to set the input for karaoke to be an analog input. Every new receiver in the past 5 years let’s you assign the type of input for your receiver.
Eddie Nelson Thanks for the reply. Im using a denon 1600h receiver. So I’m using the arc port on the tv for the hdmi cable to the receiver. So when I change the input on the receiver to analogy I can hear the Apple TV and mic perfectly but nothing on the screen. So when I change the input to hdmi I can still hear the Apple TV and see it but no sound from the mic. Do I need to change the port on the tv from arc to hdmi? Or is there a way I can change the setting on the receiver?
Hi Khoa, there should be a setting on the receiver to allow analog audio input. One thing to make sure you do is the hdmi input needs to be the same as the analog input. In your case I would use hdmi #5 media player for the Apple TV. Then for the analog audio from the mixer use the media player input. Then there should be a setting for using analog only audio input for the media player selection.
Eddie Nelson thanks for the info. I hooked it up the way you stated. Hdmi for Apple TV to #5 and mixer to analog but I can’t seem to fine the setting for only analog from the mixer. manuals.denon.com/AVRX1600H/NA/EN/fig/GUI%20InputAssign%20S75E3_DRDZILiuvetvqt.png This is a example of what I found for my receiver.
Hi I have a problem with my karaoke delay voice. My set up is so simple . I have a karaoke setup box with wireless microphone and a yamaha receiver set of speakers. I notice everytime I sing a song the voice is delayed. I there anything to add in my set up to improve my karaoke system. Thanks
Hi Alex. I’m a Klipsch lover. I will have some new ones by the end of the year. The ones in the video are infinity speakers from 15 years ago. I love tower speakers. Look at the Klipsch RP8000F’s. They are great for all around music,movies and of course karaoke.
Very surprised when you sing. Your singing voice is so different from your speaking voice lol. But it was great! Love it!

Hi, do you mind sharing a photo of your MG06X settings? I have the same mixer and my audio system is quite decent (Kef speakers, Marantz receiver), but for some reason I just couldn’t get it to sound very good. I tried playing with the settings but just can’t seem to get it right...
It takes constant adjustment until you dial it in.
Hi eddie. Hav few questions. I have a roku connected to my TV and the sounds goes to my soundbar. Can i use the optical of my soundbar going to the mixer or i need a converter?
Nice! This is the long time im looking for. But my case is nvdia shield. Can you do that using nvdia shield this time? Did appletv can output hdmi and optical at the same time? What about the audio coming from hdmi?
The Apple TV connect to TV or receiver?
To the receiver. Then the audio optical out of the Apple TV to the converter. Converter to mixer.
hello Eddie , I tried your setup and so far I was able to see my computer screen mirror image to my TV with good sound . coming out from my speakers , But unfortunately my MIC has no sound , but when i talk I can see the lights going up and down on the mixer ,but has no sounds . I used and follow everything you said . Will you please advise ?
thank you
Sheila D. Jone I think you need to increase the Mic volume in the Mixer and the stereo volume too. It worked for me. I am unable to post the picture of mixer here to show you my settings. I set it up on Sunday and it is working perfectly.
Do you need a receiver if you've got a sound bar? How would you connect everything to a sound bar?
The sound at has to have RCA in, Red and White plugs. If no RCA input then no you can’t use the sound bar.
Is there a lot of delay? There’s a lot of connections. How about quality loss?
Not much delay since there is the mixer to help with it. There is only the optical to analog so there is little converting to do.
Can you use a microphone with cords?
Hi Jane! Yes you can use corded mics. As long as the corded mics can plug into the mixer you should be fine.
Eddie Nelson thanks for the reply. What type of cord that goes to the mixer?
They call them XLR cables. The only thing you need to be careful of is you may need external power to run the corded mics. I would get the wireless ones in the video. They have worked perfectly and you can buy rechargeable batteries for them. They work from about 200 feet too so there are no delays or drop outs.
Awesome
would this setup work with two big homepods in pair stereo (as home theater speakers sync’d to the apple tv 4k)
You could play the music through the homepods but not the mics. Apple is very particular about their integration with other products. Great question though. If anything changes I’ll keep you posted.
Hello Eddie.....I wondered if you could answer a question about an older Karaoke Machine i was given. It is an AudioLogic unit for CDs and CDGraphics. I put a CD in and it just rotates 10 seconds.......The FFWD and REW buttons have no effect either.
Hi paulcom777, I’m not familiar with that brand of karaoke. I would suggest researching Google for the answer. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Stupid question, but does it have to be connected to an Apple TV? Can it be connected straight to the TV?
Yes you can use the optical out on the TV for sound. I will have a new video soon for this.
Heard from a few people you're supposed to use PA speakers instead of home theater speakers for karaoke, but I really want to use HT speakers instead for cost and aesthetic reasons. Can you confirm that you're speakers are still working fine and how often do you use the karaoke?
Hi Chole. I’ve been using karaoke about 4-5 times a month for the past 3-4 years on the same tower HT speakers. They are completely fine. If you see how a speaker works PA vs HT they “work” the same. The big difference is the PA speakers are self powered which makes them louder! My HT are plenty loud and sound fantastic. Just make sure your receiver has enough power to run the HT tower speakers. A good rule of thumb is about 120 watts RMS.! Have fun singing!!
Hi Eddie, nice little vid. Thanks! I'm trying to decide on the neatest setup for my home right now - I was just wondering - why are you using the ipad and not the RUclips directly on the apple tv?
would be interested in your reply!
It's most likely a lot easier and faster to search songs on a tablet then using a TV interface. I do it the same way except I use my phone's youtube.
Hector Camacho agreed, except that with the apple gen4 the voice search is excellent so, I still wonder if it might be neater without
Hi Nelson. How do you eliminate the feedback while singing so close to the speakers?
Hi Ernesto, if you are going to be close to the speakers make sure the mic is pointed away from them. Pointing the mic at the speaker causes feedback. It’s best if you can move farther away from the speakers. There isn’t another option other than moving further away from the speakers. You can adjust the gain levels on the mixer too.
Mate how can i increase voice echo please
do you know any mixer whith hdmi input?
Hi Eddie, can you please share a link to those dual 6.3mm to RCA cables? thank you.
**cables** www.guitarcenter.com/Livewire/Advantage-Interconnect-Dual-Cable-RCA-Male-to-1-4-TS-Male.gc I also used these for extra room behind my receiver. www.guitarcenter.com/American-Recorder-Technologies/RCA-Male-to-RCA-Female-Right-Angle-Adapter-Nickel-1273887987152.gc
Thank you. I was able to pickup some from Amazon. I have a little issue with my setup if you could help. I'm using the same Yamaha mixer. I have an Android box and converted the signal from digital to analog. The problem I have is when I switch the digital audio on the Android TV box to SPDIF, I'm able to hear my voice from the microphone, but no sound from the TV box when a song is playing on RUclips. When I switch the digital sound on the TV box to PCM, I can get the sound through the speakers from RUclips, but no sound from the mic. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you in advance.
I stream music from Apple TV to Hegel Amp via Airplay. Still possible?
Like this walk-through and how-to on setup. Question: Would you, or anyone who reads the comments, know how to get the audio to go to both the receiver and into the mic port on an iPhone for Facebook Live? Essentially, I want to be able to see a clean audio feed to Facebook while I can hear my performance in my home.
Why do I need Apple TV? I have a smart TV...would I still need it?
Yes you can use your smart tv instead of the Apple TV. My smart tv function is not working on mine. As long as the tv has an optical or rca audio output. Enjoy.
How can you setup with a newer Apple TV without the optical port?
Hi Stephen. The best thing to do there is if you have a smart TV is use the optical out of the tv to the mixer. You can then bypass using an Apple TV.
I followed all your instructions but the microphone is no sound Please help me
I notice every setup has an amplifier. I connect my speakers directly to my mixer with XLR cables. Do you think the amplifier will enhance to quality of the sound? My speakers sounds great with just music but when trying to sing, it seems really flat. I got bad feedback issues too.
Hi Eddie, it was very helpful. But, I have a few question, since I'm not into home audio that much.
Can I skip the receiver? For example, I put a music player (whatever it is), and mics into the mixer, then goes directly to the power amp then speaker? This is more pro audio routing, but is it okay to skip receiver if I don't use it that much? Thanks mate.
Yes that should work just fine. You could even use a powered speaker like the DJ’s use. I use the receiver because it’s part of my home theater setup.
Excellent 🙏😎
Is it necessary to have an amplifier if I have a set of powered speakers/monitors? Could I go straight out of the mixer and into the speakers, in that case?
ALSO: If you have a newer Apple TV without the optical out, but you have an unused optical out on your TV, could you use that into the converter, if the Apple TV is going into the flatscreen? I know that's jamming another step into the signal, which generally isn't what you want to do.
Can this setup work with just using the RUclips app on your smart TV? Meaning I don't have an Apple TV but I do have a Chromecast but I would prefer to keep it 'cleaner' and run it off of my smart tv instead?
Yes you can. i am working on a video for this. You can use the optical out on the tv.
What are the names of the cable that you put?
They are RCA cables from Guitar Center.
Hey Eddie, I followed your instructions here but instead of an Apple TV, I connected to a PS4. However, I can’t seem to make it work.
I have the optical from PS4 to the converter. Output to the 5/6line on the mixer and then mixer output to my Onkyo but can’t make it work. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Hi Luis, thank you for watching. Is there a setting in the ps4 to allow for optical output? Also did you switch the Onkyo receiver to allow analog input from the mixer?
@@enelson83 thank you for the quick reply Eddie. Yes, I have the PS4 setup for LPCM with optical audio.
So far, I have only be able to make it work by connecting the tv to converter and the the mixer to the front aux of my onkyo receiver.
Where do I change my onkyo setting to allow analog input? That might be what I am missing. I don’t have the user manual so I am not sure how to do that.
@@enelson83 found the manual online. That’s what I was missing. I changed the input to analog and voila! Thank you so much!
Awesome that’s great news. Enjoy singing for the Christmas!!
Is it possible to set up and sing along to youtube videos with just smart tv, mixer, and mics?
Yes you can use the smart tv and use the optical out of the tv.
Hi Eddie, i followed exactly what you did and have the same mixer however my airplay screen does not display in my tv and my mic does not work either? Thanks
Sir could you also show how to connect using my personal computer / laptop
Straightforward setup.
Wonder how you do it with somebody at a different location using iPad?
Hi, I have the same setup but when I change the input on the receiver to analog, I can see all the sounds but no video. When I change it to hdmi, I can see the video and sound but nothing from the mic. Any help would be great
This depends on the receiver you are using. You need to set the input for karaoke to be an analog input. Every new receiver in the past 5 years let’s you assign the type of input for your receiver.
Eddie Nelson Thanks for the reply. Im using a denon 1600h receiver. So I’m using the arc port on the tv for the hdmi cable to the receiver. So when I change the input on the receiver to analogy I can hear the Apple TV and mic perfectly but nothing on the screen. So when I change the input to hdmi I can still hear the Apple TV and see it but no sound from the mic.
Do I need to change the port on the tv from arc to hdmi? Or is there a way I can change the setting on the receiver?
Hi Khoa, there should be a setting on the receiver to allow analog audio input. One thing to make sure you do is the hdmi input needs to be the same as the analog input. In your case I would use hdmi #5 media player for the Apple TV. Then for the analog audio from the mixer use the media player input. Then there should be a setting for using analog only audio input for the media player selection.
Eddie Nelson thanks for the info. I hooked it up the way you stated. Hdmi for Apple TV to #5 and mixer to analog but I can’t seem to fine the setting for only analog from the mixer.

This is a example of what I found for my receiver.

Please follow this.
What model of Apple TV do I need to purchase, the newer model doesn’t seem to have optical output.
Yes you will need the 3rd generation also you can run RUclips on your smart tv and run the optical out of the tv to your receiver.
Is use xiaomi mi box s instead of apple tv. Same setup. Nice vid. 👍
Hi I have a problem with my karaoke delay voice. My set up is so simple . I have a karaoke setup box with wireless microphone and a yamaha receiver set of speakers. I notice everytime I sing a song the voice is delayed. I there anything to add in my set up to improve my karaoke system. Thanks
any recommendations for speakers?
Hi Alex. I’m a Klipsch lover. I will have some new ones by the end of the year. The ones in the video are infinity speakers from 15 years ago. I love tower speakers. Look at the Klipsch RP8000F’s. They are great for all around music,movies and of course karaoke.
thanks!!
