How to Play
Welcome to SingStar ABBA
Everyone enjoys singing, whether you have perfect pitch or only sing in the shower. Now there's no excuse to keep that voice to yourself; step up to the mic and into the spotlight!
Playing SingStar ABBA is easy for anyone to join in. You can sing along to your favorite tracks and score points as you perform. It doesn't even matter how well you sing; when you take that microphone, YOU are the star, and that's all that counts.
So let's get moving—round up your friends, plug in those mics, and be the star you really are!
Setting Up
Set up your PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system according to its instruction manual. Make sure the MAIN POWER switch (located on the back of the system) is turned off.
Attach game controllers/other accessories as appropriate, BEFORE you switch your system on. It is advised that you do not insert or remove accessories once the power is turned on.
Now turn the system ON at the MAIN POWER switch and press the / button. When the indicator lights up green, press the button and the disc tray will open. Place the SingStar ABBA disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Press the button again and the disc tray will close. Finally, press the / button again before commencing play.
Setting Up the Microphones
•
Plug the SingStar USB converter into one of the USB connectors on the front of the PlayStation 2 system.
•
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 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 a loud, high-pitched audio feedback.
•
Just sing!
Only the official SingStar red and blue microphones can be used to play SingStar ABBA. 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.
Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2)
Throughout this manual, the term "Memory Card" is used to describe the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2). Memory Cards designed for use with the PlayStation format software are not compatible with this game.
To save game settings and progress, insert a Memory Card into MEMORY CARD slot 1. Make sure there is enough free space (590KB) on your Memory Card before commencing play.
On boot up, any saved SingStar ABBA options data present on the Memory Card will autoload.
Directional Buttons - Movement
In this manual, ↑, ↓, ←, → etc. are used to denote the direction of the directional buttons on the DUALSHOCK 2 analog controller.

Following the start-up sequence, the Title Screen will be displayed. Press the button to access the Choose Mode Screen.

Playing the Game
To play SingStar ABBA, all you have to do is pick a game mode, hold the mic and... SING!
The different modes each have various set-up options to help you configure the game you are about to play. These options include things like choosing a song, organizing teams in Party Mode, or selecting whether to perform a full song or a short version, and are made by following a screen-by-screen series of simple instructions.
When the game begins and you start to sing into one of the microphones, the SingStar technology recognizes your pitch, tone and rhythm and is therefore able to give you a score depending on how well you perform. With rapping, you are given a score based on timing and recognition of the words that you are saying.
Player 1 always uses the blue microphone and their vocal performance is drawn in blue on screen. In multiplayer games, Player 2 uses the red microphone and their vocal performance is drawn in red on screen.
In a Pass the Mic game, the Red Team might sometimes use the blue mic and the Blue Team might use the red mic, for example, in a Duet.
Your Performance
As you progress through a song, the notes that you sing will be displayed in relation to the notes you should be singing. Your vocal performance is color-coded and the bars that are displayed on-screen will be either blue or red, depending on the game mode, number of players and microphone you are using.
By comparing your performance with the pitch and timing indicators, you can quickly tell if you are singing flat or sharp, are out of time or are simply not holding onto the notes for long enough. If you are singing well, the notes you sing will be drawn over the pitch and timing indicators, fitting perfectly over the top, and you will begin to rack up points.

Tips & Maps
Microphone Placement
Hold the microphone 1-2 inches from your mouth for effective voice pickup.
Song Selection for Practice
When starting, pick songs you know well and find easy to sing.
Listen to the Vocals
Listen to the song and the artist's vocals to know when and where to sing, and which parts are instrumental.
Practice Improves Performance
The more you sing a tune, the better you will perform, as practice helps with breathing and timing.
Overcoming Nerves
If you're nervous before Party Mode, try singing a duet with a friend to gain confidence and relax.
First Performance
The hardest part is performing for the first time; it gets easier after you've done it once, so get up and sing!
