Isn't it mentioned in the manual (provided by shinchan^^) that the karaoke function is for playing from usb device or disc? (and never mention other devices such as PC)

Not sure what files you use, but wont it be easier for you to copy the karaoke files to a USB drive/HDD and play it from the HT system? (Or use the DLNA option as suggested by Zot)

The manual doesn't say specifically the karaoke only works with USB/Disk Drives. Besides, when I purchased the HT, the salesperson says can! Sigh. I may have been cheated.

I am now thinking to use a Mi Box like shinchan^^ and use a karaoke app in it.

I am unsure how to use DLNA. Is it like Bluetooth?

Based on the info provided in the manual, I think the karaoke function will only work when the video files are played from the player itself. Most likely external sources are not supported.

DLNA is just like network file sharing (not Bluetooth). If you have a DLNA server running (windows 7 and above have built-in), your player should be able to access the files.

But if you need karaoke functionality (ie queue songs, search singer, etc), then the USB drive and DLNA might not be able to fulfill your requirement. You'll need a dedicated karaoke machine for that.
