Q:
How can I get song track updates for the player? |
|
A:
We publish updated song track library DVDs about every 8 or 9 months. The last update published in
July
added an additional 2,000 song tracks to the
library – 500 English. In addition to updated central
library discs, the player will also play CD+G discs and
new titles are being released all the time. |
|
The MDVD-388 update central library discs usually retail at
about GBP £70 and come with new inserts for the Hard
Copy Song Book. Upon release all existing owners of
player will be notified by email that a new update is
available and how, if required, they can purchase the
new library disc. |

Q:
What is the quality of the song tracks like? |
|
A:
On this site we have tried to show typical
examples of the quality of
the song tracks you can expect from the inbuilt song
tracks. It should be noted that all tracks are
in the style of the original recording artist and
are NOT by the original artist. |
|
As you will appreciate the player offers an enormous
number of tracks (50,000 at the last count) and the
quality does vary across them. As a general rule the
song tracks with Guide Vocals are of the highest quality
and compare very favorable with the professional CD+G
tracks available from the likes of Sunfly etc. Other
tracks while being of a reasonably high quality are
probably more suited to home use than deployment in a
professional karaoke setup. |
|
We continually strive to improve the quality of the song
tracks by adding additional Guide Vocal tracks and
publishing library update discs on a regular basis. |

Q:
Why does the player not come with a Microphone? |
|
A:
Because the choice of a microphone to use with the
player is very much a matter of personal taste and
preference (eg corded or wireless etc), the player is
NOT offered as standard with a microphone. |
|
If you are looking for a reasonable quality vocal mic to
go with your player we normally recommend
our
Karaoke Microphone products.
These products tend to be fairly robust, being ideal for
the somewhat harsh treatment a karaoke microphone may
have to endure, and, with corded mics from £12.95+VAT and
wireless radio mics (x2) from £79.95 +VAT, are reasonably
priced! We normally have stock readily available so
please do not hesitate to
contact us for further details. |

|
A: Yes, the player will read and play CD+G formatted
CDs, as well as normal Karaoke DVDs. However it should
be noted that the advanced tempo and key changing
functionality is only available when used with the MIDI
DVD library disc. |

|
Q:
Can the Player support multiple video screens? |

however this has to be accommodated via a SCART splitter
box (not included as standard with the player but
available as option at our online shop). |

Q:
Can the Song Library Disc be purchased separately? |
|
A:
In order to utilise the machine's
library disc you must have a DigiLYF MDVD-388 player. The
discs can not be read by any other Karaoke Machine. For
DigiLYF player users update and replacement library discs
can be supplied as required. |

|
Q:
What Video
Backgrounds are available? |
|
A: The machine is supplied as standard with two
Song Library discs - L9 & L11. Each disc is identical in
the song tracks they offer. The only difference being
that the L9 disc offers MTV style background video, with
the L11 disc delivering more traditional Landscape style
video. The video that plays is on a 30 to 40 minute loop
and plays independently in the background of any song
being played. Where a User prefers not to utilise a
background video a special burn version of the song
library disc (L10) is available that will show a static
black background (a common format prevalent with CD+G
discs). Please contact us for further details and
pricing. |

exactly what the machine will do. All we ask is that the
visit is prearranged for a time suitable for all. Please

Q:
How are the Chinese Song Track lyrics displayed? |
|
A: The Chinese track lyrics by default are
displayed in mainland Traditional Chinese, however one of
the unique features of this player is that, as an
option, you can also view the Chinese lyrics as romanised pinying characters.
The tracks listed in the associated Song Book are
presented in Simplified Chinese. |
