Also you need to think about a dual video switch ( A,B ) switch.

Then both your players should hook right up to the mixer amp. Still would help to have a Make/Model number so we can help you completely. Like stated, you may need a video switch for the video between the 2 players unless your mixer/amp has it built in, but we don't know that at this point.

many mixer amps also have multiple inputs.

dvd on one setting
cdg on another
laser on another
etc etc etc

then it's a simple matter of hooking up whatever you want to it as an input, and using the select switch. there's nothing special about any of those inputs... no 'frequency' that you can only hook up a certain device.

Mine is that way.

Providing you have enough channels, you would connect your player's out put into the channel strips. If it is a mono mixer you can use an RCA L+ R to 1/4" patch cable. If you have stereo channel inputs you would just need one rca to 1/4" cable for each channel. For karaoke, your mixer should have effects. If not, you may want to look into an external effects processor and insert it on the mic channels. Since, I do not know what kind of mixer amp you have all of the above may be not applicable.

Cheers

PV700, you sure it isn't the PX700DLX? In any case, if you got the audio working & all you need is video for 2 players, go to Rat Shack & pick up an RCA video A-B switch. Plug in the audio to the mixer just as you would & run the video into the switch, then the switch into the tv (or RF Modulator if running one) & you're set. You select which player is running & there you go!
