Can I play a karaoke CD through my TV/DVD player or do I have to use a karaoke machine?
If your DVD player supports karaoke playback it should have come with a microphone and will have a large port on the front to plug it into. If you put a karaoke CD (known as a CD+ Graphic Disc) into a regular DVD player it will play the music but will not display the graphics on the screen. You can pick up a karaoke compatable DVD player for as little as twenty dollars if you are interested enough.
Yes, you can play the karaoke cd through the regular dvd player, since there is no different between dvd player and karaoke machine to read the cds. However, there are something you might consider: 1. do you have any input for mic in you dvd player or anywhere in your audio system? 2. some good karaoke machines can adjust the speed and the key of songs, however, dvd player can’t do that. 3. some good (mostly expensive one) karaoke machines comes with “split screen” function which allows you to preselect the coming songs when you are singing the current song. If you just want to sing-a-long, you don’t need to buy a fancy karaoke machine, just have a dvd player with mic input in your audio system is fine. Hope it helps you!
