Just quoted you so folks could actually read your post.

Being critical of a person's success in any respect speaks volumes about the lack of your own.

Love as though you've never been hurt, Dance as though no one's watching, Sing as though God Himself were listening.

Well the problem is mainly you are going through the players mic inputs, these are just for a basic use, not eq'd or anything & no good preamps - recommend a small mixer.
2nd, you are running through a home stereo receiver - not designed to reproduce live vocals.
3rd assuming you are also running through home stereo/theater speakers - not designed to reproduce live vocals.

You'd be a whole lot better off getting a small PA you can designate strictly to karaoke.

Lonman is absolutely correct.....

The hard B sound is probably causing a bass power spike that your speakers and/or receiver just can't handle, so it clips and distorts, which is exactly why home theater receivers and speakers are not supposed to be used for live music applications.

They are designed to reproduce strictly what is called PROGRAM applications, or more specifically produced pieces that have been engineered to have a consistent range of frequencies and dB levels, which live music and vocals just don't have without using expensive studio mastering equipment. So stick to CDs and DVDs for the home theater receiver and get a small PA system for your home karaoke.

You can get one that will do the job and sound twice as good as your home theater unit for under $300.

Let us know if you want to go that route and we'll give you some recommendations.

Ahh, it's all making more sense now.  Thank you for your replies.  They were very informative.  I will definitely begin my search for a suitable PA system.  I am open to hear of your recommendations.  Ideally I would like to obtain a centralized component similar to a home theater receiver which is capable of combining DVD, CD, VCR (as outdated as it is, I would still like to have it), and my cable box components, in addition to the karaoke components all in one place and expel the outputs to the same exact speakers.  Anything of that nature exists?

Again, PA speakers & home stereo speakers are designed to do 2 completely different things.  The PA speakers wouldn't sound as good for home theater applications & home stereo speakers won't sound good with live vocals.  You can incorporate the systems to work as one, but you will either be sacrificing your sound for your movies/music with the PA speakers or you run the risk of blowing your speakers with with regular speakers.

A system designed for specific use is the right way to go.   Your TV speakers are just that.   PA systems are made for loud music.     Fixing distortion is as easy as turning down the source gain.   If it's distorting it's to loud.   Whether it's the music or the voice that is distorting.
