Frequently Asked Questions

What is karaoke?

The word "karaoke" comes from the Japanese word “Kara? which means empty, and "Oke" (Okesutora), which means orchestra.  Rather than include both vocals and music, karaoke tracks will be without lead vocals. The lead vocals are provided by the performer singing the karaoke song!

 What is a CDG?

A CDG, which stands for Compact Disc + Graphics, is the standard format for most English karaoke discs.  These discs can either be played on a karaoke machine that supports CDG or on a regular player that can play CDs.   Keep in mind that you will not be able to see any words on your screen if you play CDGs on a CD player.

 What is a DVD?

A DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a disc that is able to store large amounts of information on a single disc.  This format is different from CDGs so you will need a karaoke player capable of reading DVDs to play this format.  Most non-English music will be in this format.

 What is the difference between a CDG and a CD+G?

They are the exact same thing.

 I am looking for a CD. What should I buy?

We do not carry regular CD's. However, you can purchase CDG. They are meant to be played on CDG players and will also play on regular CD Players. Note: not all disc will play in regular CD players without the lead vocals because of multiplex features.

 What is the quality of the discs?

All discs have different quality. Some manufacturers have better quality discs than others. Ask us for more information about the discs.

 What is the best format for me?

There is no one format that is the best.  Every format has its advantages and disadvantages.  For example, if you preferred a large quantity of music you would pick the MIDI format but lose out on sound quality.  Or you might prefer the CDG format as most new songs will come out on CDG before they appear on any other format.  The drawback to this would be the limited number of songs on each disc, etc.

 Can I play this disc on a regular CD player?

You can only play CDGs on a regular CD Player.

 I just bought a disc from your site.  It’s not by the original artist!

Karaoke discs will never be by the original artist.

 What is Amplifier?

Mixing Amplifiers combine both karaoke mixer and amplifier (receiver) in one unit. You will need an amplifier if you want to power external speakers. You can turn any  DVD, VCD or CD+G player into karaoke system with a mixing amplifier.

 What is a Mixer?

Karaoke mixers combine the music and vocal source into one and enhance the sound quality. A karaoke mixer can turn a DVD, VCD or CD+G Player into a karaoke machine. A karaoke mixer has some important functions: microphone inputs, volume control, key controller, echo, delay, repeat, and vocal reducer. Depending on your needs or budget, you may or may not need all of the functions.

 What is the warranty on your machines?
