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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, January 15, 2009

By	J. Lock - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Singing Machine SML-385 Top Loading CDG Karaoke System With Sound and Disco Light Show, Black (Electronics)

My daughter received this for Christmas. We were excited, but quickly disappointed. The words don't display correctly on the t.v. and the player part will skip. We are returning it to toysrus this weekend. Hopefully, the new one will work better. I emailed the company twice, but received no response.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality and Sorry Customer Service, January 11, 2010

By	GOBIGORANGE (TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Singing Machine SML-385 Top Loading CDG Karaoke System With Sound and Disco Light Show, Black (Electronics)

Purchased for kids for christmas. Worked only the first time. Now it won't read any CDG (not even the demo that came with it). Contacted mfg via website twice, sent email to customer service from website, and left several messages on the customer service hotline -- NO RESPONSE in over 2 weeks. When it did work the first time, the words didn't keep up with the songs. Very frustrated and have some unhappy children. It's a shame to spend $60 on a Christmas gift that does not work! Guess I should have done some homework before purchasing this brand!!! Basically all we have now is an intercom system with disco lights!
