HOW DO I INCORPORATE A MICROPHONE INTO AN EXISTING HOME STEREO SYSTEM USING THE DVD AS THE PLAYER?
the quickest and most cost-effective way is to use what we call a "mic mixer."
this device would interface would your DVD player, allowing you to play any karaoke discs on the DVD player, and then plug a mic into the mixer, wherein both the music and the singer's voice would come out of the home's stereo system.
furthermore, this device would also enhance the vocal quality of the singer's voice. It wil provide effects/bass/treble controls and adjustments, to enhance voice quality, giving the user an excellent karaoke experience.

You choose the song you want to sing from a song book and enter the number of the song and press play - video, the lyrics, music, would all come out, and even a score after each song. and of course, you can connect this to any sound system for optimum sound. all items come in a carry bag and works anywhere in the world.
WHAT IS CD+G? WHAT CAN I USE TO PLAY CD+G (Karaoke)?
Simply, CD+G, also known as CD Graphics, is your CD (compact disc) audio plus the addition of video graphics. This standard is typically used in karaoke as it allows the functionality of adding on-screen lyrics to go along with the music. The graphics that show up on the screen is typically composed of a simple colored background or a simple digitized picture, with lyrics that are highlighted according to the tempo (beat) of the music.
The CD+G format was once very popular in North America but is quickly becoming obsolete with the incorporation of karaoke into newer technologies like VCD (Video Compact Disc), and DVD (Digital Versatile/Video Disc), which provides the possiblity of playing real videos as a background. Therefore, it is becoming more difficult to source karaoke songs in CD+G.
CD+G can only be read in a player with a "CD+G" symbol or if it is indicated in the manual. However, thanks to technical innovation, there are now machines/players available in the market that can play a variety of formats, i.e. CD, CD+G, VCD, DVD, MP3, MPEG4, etc., and even unlock DVD regionality.
An example would be the All-Region DVD player (see "Karaoke Machines/Players" page) that we offer to our customers. Typically, DVDs sold in Asia or in Europe could not be played in DVD players in North America and vice-versa. However, this All-Region DVD player is capable of reading DVDs from anywhere in the world. Moreover, it can play a whole gamut of formats, just like the ones aforementioned.
