Post subject:  Seeking Help Creating a Home Karaoke System
Sorry -- I first posted to Discussion Forum and reposted Here, because this is probably the appropriate forum for my questions.

CURRENT SETUP

I currently have the following Components:

Yamaha HTR 5740 Home Theater AV Receiver
Bose Acoustimass 3 Series IV Speaker System
Velodyne VRP 1000 Subwoofer
JVC XV-N50BK DVD Video Player
RJTech RJ-4100 DVD Player with Karaoke

Most of my Karaoke music is currently contained on VCD's and DVD's, with very little music on CD+G Discs.

I was very happy with my JVC DVD Video Player, but then I got involved in weekly Karaoke singalongs at home and decided to get a Karaoke player (RJTech RJ-4100).  I am not happy with the RJ-4100.  The biggest problem is what sounds like an impedance mismatch when I plug mics into the two jacks in the front of the unit.  Using two different sets of mics (Pioneer DMV210 Laser Karaoke Mics or Leader DM-1200 Mics that came with RJ-4100), the audio sounds muffled or overloaded.

I do NOT not have a mixer (which could be the source of some of my problems) -- the audio from the RJ-4100 is connected to the Yamaha AV Reciever thru the Optical Connection.

WHAT TO DO NOW FOR $500 OR LESS?

I have a Compaq Presario X1000 Laptop w/ 60GB Hard Drive and 1.3 GHZ Centrino Processor.

I would like advice on setting up TWO different types of Karaoke systems:

1)  A computer based Karaoke System, and;

2)  A Hardware based Karaoke System

What specific components/software/hardware are recommended for BOTH types of karaoke systems?  I would consider scrapping the RJ-Tech 4100 Player if it is not wise to spend more money to improve its performance.

Thank You for sharing your thoughts/advice

Cross-posting is generally considered poor net-iquette.  Please only post your questions once so the replies are consolidated to a single thread for all to see.

Please reply to this in the general section or mods please move the thread in general with my reply to this forum.

Thanks!
