- My parents have a karaoke effects module hooked up to the AV system
- which they use to play VHS karaoke tapes. I once tried to hook an LD up to
- the effects processor and played some karaoke LD's. I noticed that some LD's
- refuse to work with the module and some do. The LD player (which is a karaoke
- model) also has a little problem with the former type since I had to switch
- between digital and analog and left/right/stereo to get everything right, since
- they refuse to work with the effects module. The latter works just like the V
- HS tapes when I played the analog track, so there's no problem there. When I
- use the effects module, I turn off the LD player's karaoke feature, and vice
- versa to make the comparison.
- So does anyone know that the problem is with the two types of LD's?
- An overview with what and what is on which track will be greatly appreciated.
- I'm deciding between the regular and karaoke LD players right now (the test
- LD player was borrowed). Since the effects module produces much better quality
- sound than the LD player's own karaoke processor (a Pioneer model), I would
- like to know how many of which type of LD's are on the market so I can decide
- if I really need the redundancy of owning a karaoke LD player.
