I have a modest 42" Samsung TV and have recently bought a Sony Home Theatre (BDV-E2100). Both devices are connected to a desktop. On the HT, I noticed there are two microphone ports so I dream of setting up my own karaoke system.

I have loads of KTV version MTVs that can be played using VLC player and switching audio channels to mute vocals, but I just can't seem to make it work for the HT. When I plug in a mic, it says NOT.USE that probably means karaoke is not supported when audio input is from a computer. Something that the salesman did not tell me when I made the purchase.

With this setup, how can I proceed to realize my dream of having a home karaoke set? I am OK to spend more to finish the setup, and something like an Android KTV box thing comes to mind.

Any pros have any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm OK.

I probably need an amplifier to go along with this.

I have also been searching around for an Android box that can also has KTV functions. Can you tell me if I'm too ambitious? sad.gif

Have you ever disconnect the Line Input from the PC and use only the mic just to confirm this?
