| Q: What does
Guide Vocals mean? |
A: Tracks listed with Guide Vocals
 are karaoke songs that also offer lead and backing
vocals. The lead vocals on these tracks can be turned on or off as required. |
NB:
The term Guide vocals should not be confused with Guide Lyrics a feature that
is available on ALL the karaoke tracks. |

| |
| 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-688
update central library discs usually retail at about $150 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 our Track
Demo page, 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 (53,000 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.
|
We continually
strive to improve the quality of the song tracks by adding additional Guide Vocal
tracks and publishing library update discs two or three times per year.

microphones with every purchase of the SongStation Deluxe Edition. These microphones
retail at US$29.95 each and they come with a 4 metre long shielded cable. We have
even included a FREE carry-case for your 2 microphones. Order now while stocks
last. |

a great standalone DVD player in its own right and supports DVD,
DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD +/- RW, DVD-MIDI, CD+G, MP3, CDR, CDRW, VCD, Picture CD. |

| Q: Can I

| |
| Q:
Can the
Song Library Disc be purchased separately? |
A:
In order to utilise the machine's library disc you must have
The SongStation's MDVD-688 player. The discs can not be read by any other Karaoke
Machine. For The SongStation
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 - L5& L6. Each disc is slightly different
in the song tracks they offer. The L6 disc contains more songs. The only main
difference being that the L5 disc offers MTV style background video, with the
L6 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 (L8) 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. |

fee. We also offer Fedex Overnight delivery to any destination. Just remember

insured up to $1000 with detailed online tracking. |

| 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. |

| |
| Q: What payment methods
do you accept? |

card processing system is by far the most secure online payment mechanism on the
web and offers for both the buyer and seller unrivalled credit card fraud protection.

in order to use this system you do not have to create, or already have an existing,
PayPal account. You can of course pay via cheque if desired. If
you're unable to pay via PayPal for some reason or another, we also provide the
option of paying via 2CO. (2CheckOut is a credit/debit card processor) |
