Tech Talk

CDG: An acronym for Compact Disc plus Graphics, this is a regular CD with information stored on a data track simultaneous to music. In laymen's terms, CDG has a video output for simple graphics (not full motion video). In the case of karaoke, the graphics function is used to store song lyrics, and display the lyrics in synch with the music. In most cases, CDG software displays lyrics, which change color as they are to be sung. A regular television is all that is required to display CDG lyrics.

Echo: Produced by creating minor controlled feedback in the singer's voice, echo adds depth and resonance. The echo function does not affect the music.

Auto Voice Control (AVC): This useful function is used primarily during practice sessions while a singer is learning a song. Please note that the AVC function only works with multiplex recordings and not with standard audio recordings.

Multiplex: A Multiplex allows you to separate the vocals and music by using the balance control on your Singing Machine Karaoke System.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT Compatible with newer iPod Nano, December 15, 2008

By	Melissa (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Singing Machine ISM-370 Multi-Function Karaoke System with iPod Docking (Electronics)

I purchased this Karaoke machine specifically because of the iPod docking feature. Once I received it, I found out it is only compatible with iPod Nano 2nd Generation, not the newer iPod Nano (which I will be receiving soon.) Also, the included microphone volume is so low, even when the volume is set the highest it will go, you can barely hear the vocalist over the music. We had to purchase our own better quality microphone to use with it. I would not purchase this again if I had the option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy!!!, February 13, 2008

By	Earl W. Legrande - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Singing Machine ISM-370 Multi-Function Karaoke System with iPod Docking (Electronics)

Very sleek and stylish, lightweight and portable with great sound and great ipod capability and functionality. It would be nice if it had the capability to eliminate the vocals from the songs as they play on your ipod through the speakers, but all in all I am pleased with the product. A nice conversation piece as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great, August 9, 2008

By	mk - See all my reviews

This review is from: Singing Machine ISM-370 Multi-Function Karaoke System with iPod Docking (Electronics)

This is the third Karaoke machine I have bought for my daughters. It is, by far, the best one we have owned. It is versatile and works great. The I-pod function is a definite bonus.
