One last thing just to let you know the equipment i have. Laptop is a HP Pavillion dv2000 and the t.v. is a 15" sony and my operating system is Windows Vista Thanks any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated.

@onebmf35 I know this may sound crazy, but give it a try because I had that same problem. After you get everything up and running, but still no signal to the tv, try turning the tv off and then back on. Weird, but that's what I have to do everytime. Let me know if that works for you.

Just bought my RMX... trying to follow my dreams of DJ'ing... I also would like to eventually get into the Karaoke deal... Your videos are on point like Chris Paul... Just wanted to give you a shout out for your hard work... You are inspiring my dreams! Thanks bruh... GOD SPEED

@beeceebeatz Thanks! Yeah, the rmx is a bad boy. Don't fall asleep on it and don't let other djs try to diss it. In the right hands, the rmx combined with Virtual DJ is the bomb. I still use it today and I be rocking my parties like crazy!

Great video but I'm a little confused. I thought you could play karaoke music through VDJ? So why use the Show Presenter to host your files?

[MakeItFunkyProds]

@spaatman You can but Virtual DJ is a horrible host for karaoke, imo. I hate it for karaoke, but love it for djing. Also, I don't use Show Presenter anymore. I now use Karma. It's great!

Thanks for your response, I tried what you suggested and it did not work. I don't know what is going on. I even tried another tv and nothing I read through my HP manual and did everything it said to do when hooking up a s-video cable and in theory it should be working. I am about ready to say screw it and go back to my Dell monitor and the vga hook ups. Thanks anyway.

Ok all is connected but it seems like i am not getting any signal from the p.c to the t.v. Is there anything on the computer i have to do to turn on the s-video oulet or do you have any other suggestions. I can hook up a Dell monitor using vga to vga and all works fine. But when i try to go to s-video to rca to a small 15"sony tv it is like the s-video is not sending any signal. I have tried the tv on video 1,2, and 3 and also cable and regular tv on channel 3 but still nothing. Any suggestions

Hello Vince i have a question for you. I watched your video and seen how you hooked up your t.v. to your laptop and i am trying to do the same but i am not having much luck. This is what i have done so far, I bought a s-video to rca adapter like you show on the video and i got a male to male rca cable. I plug in the s-video end to my laptop and then connect the male rca to the adpter and then the video plug on the t.v. I will finish in another mesage because i am running out of characters.

Some of what you had to say is correct and a good idea some you should think over for your next video. What you use and how you do things is how you like it and thats fine.

and I do need a slip from singers this stops them asking if I have this or that and them saying put me in for this song or that. I have no time for that when we have 30 or 40 singers. I would say you need 10 books not 4. We all have lots of songs now so don't make your books to big just make a good root lookup.

@spaatman VDJ for karaoke? Yes you can, especially if your karaoke music is not multiplex. I mean no vocals on the right side. In case your karaoke music have vocal guide on the right, you must know how to route your signal to the mixer to get the 'karaoke music' part only.
