Guys/Gals - does anybody know what format(s) my Karaoke machine should be able to play if I want to purchase discs from Thailand as well.

I have seen one that is being run-out at the local discount electrical store - but it would obviously be a "false economy" if it can't play the discs from Thailand.

It says it will also play DVD's - so at worse I will end up with a spare oversized DVD player - ha ha

seriously as always any advice greatly appreciated

Skippy

If the player accepts VCD format then your thai Karaoke CD's will play

Sorry to be thick!!

But if doesn't mention VCD on the box then we should forget it then?

I think it mentions CDG - is that okay??

Thanks again Skippy

Sorry mate, i'm not that genned up on it myself, it's just that every karaoke disc we've brought back have been VCD and not CDG.
So if it doesn't mention VCD i'd look elsewhere as i've had a quick look on the net and there are players that will accept both, Happy Hunting :-)

That I think stands for CD Graphics which is not the same as VCD and probably would not be able to play them.

When my wife first came over last year we tried about three different machines without success before I gave up.

If your planning to go to Thailand in the near future it would probably be best to buy there and bring back.

See this old thread as well:- Karaoke

VCD Steve

Thanks for the link and info guys.

Have just ben informed by the wife that the Machine that was reduced to £20 has been snapped up by somebody

so that's it for the moment, But - unfortunately it mean that the Karaoke Machine is back on the list of things we want?

So - any ideas on what people already have and working well please let me know details

Alterantively we are off to Thailand very soon - can you purchase one there that works over here?

thanks again Skippy
