Setting Up the Microphones
•
Plug the SingStar® USB Converter into one of the USB connectors on the front of the console.
•
Plug the microphones into the red and blue sockets on the front of the SingStar® USB Converter. A 'click' sound will confirm that each connector is inserted correctly.
•
Once the game has loaded, a bright blue light on the top of the SingStar® USB Converter will indicate that it is inserted correctly and working.
•
When singing hold the microphone approximately 3-5 centimetres (1-2 inches) from your mouth. Sing directly into the top of the microphone.
•
Keep some distance between yourself and the TV. If the microphone gets too close to the TV, you will get feedback - a loud, high-pitched sound.
Microphone Compatibility
Only the official SingStar® red and blue microphones can be used to play SingStar® Rocks!. Ordinary microphones cannot be inserted properly into the SingStar® USB Converter and will therefore not be picked up by the game.
If the SingStar® USB Converter is connected, but with incompatible microphones inserted, the game will still appear to run, but players' singing will not be detected, nor will their voice be drawn on-screen.

Throughout this manual, the term "Memory Card" is used to describe the Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) - (product code SCPH-10020 E). Memory Cards (product code SCPH-1020 E) designed for use with PlayStation® (PS one®) format software are not compatible with this game.

In this game the only thing you need to control is your voice!
