Hello I have a dvd/vcd player that does not have the microphone/karaoke input/port, I am wondering is there a way that I can make it to be my karaoke meachine? like a plug-in? or part that I can purchase?

Unless it reads CD+G subcodes then you won't be able to get karaoke out of your player. Although you might be able to play VCD or DVD karaoke discs.

Like stated unless you are going to be using DVD or VCD discs which are not too common as the standard CDG, you aren't going to have much of a karaoke machine.  You don't really need a microphone port, you could just buy a small mixer, then you plug your player & mics into the mixer.

Now if you needed a key changer ability, then you would need an external adapter.

Pretty expensive however at $189 just for the key changer.  You could get a real karaoke player for about the same price.

Now this does come with mic inputs on the player, but really mic inputs built into the players aren't very good sounding to begin with - the separate mixer would give you nicer sound & more controllable.

Hello, so I can buy a mixer, then I can plug my dvd player and a microphone to that mixer, then I can sing along just like karaoke machine on that microphone. I don't mind about keychanger. I just want to sing ..

Oh I found this one on the Internet, and it is the thing that I want my player to be, yeayh http://www.acekaraoke.com/hprdkmmor1.html

but I am not sure if this is worth it or not? Or if I buy a mixer , would it do the same thing?

Not worth it.  Mixer for a little more, would do a better job as far as sound controllability.

As many have said, you can play DVD or VCD based Karaoke discs using the machine, and the device you have listed. The CD+G discs, which tend to be more available in song titles, etc. would not play.

Exception is that if your player can play CDs and have a digital code output (you can find this out quickly in your manual or back of the machine where it will say digital code output), you can buy an external CD+G decoder that will also function as a mixer for your mic, key change, have effects built in etc. I have only seen a few of these and they go for at least $300 or so but if you want to keep the machine, this may do it. I can't recommend any brands since I haven't used it myself but here isone example of such device.

One thing nice about this is, and I would only say it's for home use, not for professional use, I can hookup my Sony 300 CD changer to it and never have to fiddle with my discs. I may end up getting one of these and set it up my home system so I can put all my disc and use it as a jukebox type of thing.

Problem with the cdg decoders, they don't work with all players even alot with the digital outs.  Some work fine, other work so-so - graphic glitches & lagging lyrics, many don't work at all.  Anything that does work MUST have a 'digital shock buffer' (don't ask me?) built inline with the digital output in the player.
