Page 1 of Schneider DVD 856 Karaoke ??

I`ve tried several CD+G discs but no words appear? just the dvd title screen.Is the karaoke function supposed to use CD+G, if not, how are you supposed to use the karaoke??

The answer is that there are several formats for Karaoke. Most of them are inconpatable with each other.

DVD Karaoke is popular on the continent.

CDG is popuar here. CDG is CD based and will play on any CD player. If you have a CDG player you get the onscreen graphics too. Often these players incorporate mic inputs too.

DVD Karaoke is basically a standard DVD of a song with the words playing infront of the picture.

You can buy both formats in this country but the DVD type is much harder to source.

If you are determined you can use your CDGs with your machine but you will have to add an external CDG decoder. This will probably cost more that your machine did originally.

PS Do you rate the Schneider as a DVD player?

I think it`s Vcd Karaoke discs you need and you can get them from sessionmusic.co.uk( put Vcd in their search box and loads come up)
Biteman!
