Editorial Review
This video karaoke machine acts as a conduit between your TV and VCR, and comes with a front-end camera that sends images of performances straight to the screen or VHS. An included cartridge contains the music and lyrics to a bevy of old and new pop tunes, all digitally re-mastered using unknown professionals instead of the stars that made the songs famous. No matter: performers can make the music their own by manipulating volume, tempo, key, or echo features via an included, multi-function microphone. Singing a duo? A second microphone jack is included (though not a second microphone). Lyrics to the songs are displayed at the bottom of the TV screen for singers to read during performances. The unit is light (3 pounds) and small (9 inches wide), to better fit on top of a TV. Not included: extra song cartridges (all sold separately), video tape (though labeling decals come with the kit), VCR, TV, store-bought AV cables, or the four required "AA" batteries.
