Received this CD G/MP3 G player 2 days ago. Its a good player out

of the box. USB plug in, seems a little shaky. Unfortunately, the

info given did not mention that you can ONLY record using an MP3 G

disk. CD G use will not give you the ability to record. Seems like

that MP3 G is the wave of the future. But, not yet. Also, tracking

the package becomes tricky if you just look at your amazon acount.

I'm purchasing a CDG to MP3 G converter software to convert all my

CDG's to this format. Been singing for a while and really would just

like to record some of the songs. Also, the microphone jack is a

little nuisance for it is located in the back. If you have a wired

mic, you may lose your connection. This unit is quite light. Very

easy to drop this, especially while you are singing and moving about.

All in all, as a player, very good, other stuff, not quite.

A follow up yo my review. After 3 days, I used this equipment again.

Behold,it's not working anymore.Wow, that was something else.

Did not expect this to crap out this soon.....

I purchased this item to replace a karaoke machine I had purchased at a local store. I was looking to upgrade. This machine is NOT an upgrade from the one I have. I hooked them up side by side and compared many things like sound quality, microphone output, echo, volume and key. This machine does not meet even the lowest standard for home use.

I will be purchasing another unit once I get my refund from returning this one.

I would NOT recommend this unit to anyone....if you've ever used another machine...it won't compare...and if you've never had one this one is sure to discourage your "singing" guests!

While this player doesn't have any real bells and whistles, it works, which is the main point. Yes, the mic volume is low even at the loudest setting, try to turn the music volume down on the remote, it brings down the music volume but leaves the mic volume up. I have an old style stereo, and a new flat screen that I hooked it up to (stereo for sound, tv for lyrics). It will sort of lock up playing through a whole cd at times (lyrics will stop, but music will continue). I assume this is due to it's memory getting clogged. I just open and close disc, and restart song, and it seems to work fine. If you are buying this for the 100 song disc, don't, get a better rated player and get your own discs, the songs all have singers on all of the lyrics (but try the MPX button, I never tried it, but it may be a multiplex disc). Not to mention the quality of the songs is very bad. Mic is ok, average at best, and the usb port and microphone jacks are now located in the front of the machine, a definite plus. You can rip only the audio part of cdg's to a usb thumb drive (according to manual, I haven't tried it), no graphics, so if you wanted it to digitally store your cdg's, forget it. It reads my sandisc and patriot thumb drives nicely. Recording feature is nice, bad quality, but can be useful for those trying to "train" themselves. The key adjustment is just horrific, it slows down or speeds up music to match keys, so don't even bother with that.

Update: Cd tray stopped opening, I can't return it as it is past 30 days, so I decided to take it apart. I checked to make sure all wires and connections were tight, and moved the internal part of the power cord to a different position. It works well again. I hope this is helpful for anyone who is having this issue.

Update again: CD tray issue once more, the super-fixer hubby fixed it this time (he messed with the little drive gears in the tray), and I haven't had the issue since (of course, I circumvented this issue by putting most of my music onto thumb drives). I have noticed since the hubby messed with it, no more cd lock-up issues either, strange but I am not complaining. This player can read mp3+g format and avi, so it is pretty versatile for an inexpensive player. Get small thumb drives, if you use an 8 gig, it will take forever to read it before loading, I suggest 2-4 gig. You may have to use more, but it saves on the start-up time.

Whereas the original price was great, especially since I used a $20.00 Amazon gift certificate, the machine became unusable within a month. The disk drawer would no longer open keeping the disk inside, irretrievable.

I now became responsible to ship, and pay for shipping, the item back to Emerson PLUS, send Emerson a check to covering them shipping a replacement machine to me!! These costs pretty much equaled what I originally paid for the karaoke machine!

Two emails went unanswered until I made a phone call to "Sales Support".

I am disappointed with the item as well as the lack of service.
