Setting up home karaoke

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.

Yes, Sir I have tried this. I read the manual as well. However it assumes I am playing Karaoke BD/DVD. I actually have a lot of AVI...
