Ok...right now I have a daewoo dvd that supports cdg, I love it!!! My problem with it .....it plays Soundchoice & Sunfly and SBI disc perfect.

I can play Singtotheworld and and some ameri-sing disc and top and pop hits cdg's but the words break up where you can't read them


I replaced my player with this cheapy on ebay.

It plays everything but the mic control sucks...I hook it up to my surround sound. I just cant get it right.

I want a good player to hook up to my surround....any suggestions ?

My other question is ....Or would i be better getting some software to play the cdgs through my home computer that has a mic input on it but its a smaller end.

electonically I am a dummy...

here is another player I have been keeping my eye out on but I would like some feedback on this one as well

The first suggestion is, DO NOT use your surround sound for karaoke.  The speakers are not designed for live voice and you can ruin them.  For home use, a player is a player, as long as it can read CDG.  BUT remember you get what you pay for.  A cheap unit may or may not have problems and durability may be non-existant.  You may want to check other threads for home set up and recommendations, including mixing boards as plugging a mic into a machine is really not the way to go.

Ah, one of the lucky ones.  It's not to say that home stereo equipment won't work used in moderation & not to full volume - like most tend to do, however home stereo gear is NOT designed to reproduce live music which karaoke is half - it's not recommened for live use!  I've personally seen (and from forums such as these)many home systems fail (mostly speakers, but occasionally the amp) because of karaoke, they (as a rule) can't handle the uncertanties (uncompressed) that most live vocals can produce, they are designed to reproduce compressed music & movies - home speakers are voiced differently than speakers designed for live use.

I do agree with Lon and Timber on this one, don't run your karaoke through your surround sond.

But baring that....

If you have a player you like, stick with it.  Buy a small mixer and a couple of GOOD microphones, and you will be way ahead of the game.
