Karaoke Forums

Hi

I just want to have some fun at home with family and friends with Karaoke.
My though is to buy a good DVD-players that can handle most format (DVD,CD-G, MP3, SVCD...). If I think its fun Ill buying a mixer with more features later.

I want some help to deside between some DVD-players.

- PCK-2000
- Xtreme 1 Professional
- RJtech RJ-4200
- API DVD-701
- RSQ DVD505

Anyone that have some ideas what I should think about?
Or maybe have anyone tried any of them and know some advantage/disadvantege.

Regards
Jimmy

I've had some issues with the RJ Tech products - it was the earlier 3700 and 3900 series but the sweep wasn't smooth.  Not a problem on slower songs but on the faster songs nearly unusable.  I've heard the later products are better, but since I've been burned on the pair I have I'm very wary.

I have an RSQ 333 and it's infallible.  I'd consider going with the RSQ personally, or another option would be to look into the Coby player that goes for about $75 at my local Wal-Mart.  I saw it in use at a local show and it played just fine - even with some of the faster sweeps.  It had been in a smoky bar for at least a year and other than a few minor 'hiccups' with 1 or 2 discs it played just fine.  I'm pretty sure a good cleaning would resolve the problem though.  At that price it's hard to pass up.

BTW, if you have a chance to 'test' each of them I'd use Rapper's Delight or other fast sweep song with full screens of lyrics to do the test.  It's a real workout on the average player and shows problems with sweeps quickly.  I'd probably use whatever brand to do the test that you plan on using most.

Thanks on the info about RJ´s.
Try the players can be hard.I dont think they sell any of these product near me.
I was thinking  on buying them online.

Maybe anyone here have tried any other then RJs?

You don't say where you're from.  In Canada you can get Electrohome (not sure if it's available in the U.S.).  I have an EH8168 I use at home and even in shows with no propblems and it has a built in key changer.

Sorry I didnt mention where I was from.

Im from Sweden.
I googled some for Electrohome in Sweden with nu luck at all.
Will still search some more.

But it really doesnt matter where they sell it. If I only can get a webstore to deliver international.

The price in US is half of Sweden.
