I have a RSQ starsinger 800 and can't get sufficient microphone volumn during the recording mode.

Was disk "burned" on a computer or purchased from a retail outlet? Computer "burns" can be unpredictable as some I make work in other devices just fine, but others do not. If it is a computer "burn" try recording to Disk at a slower speed as the 48x can be too fast for a "good" burn.

The Karoke is usually se with a reverb that could make it sound that way. Check the vocal settings in the machine for correcting that and time delay setting.

I use an earlier model but try:

Press the "red" light on the correct channel you are using for input. that will bring up the dialog to set input level. the +/- level set is on the same side of the device as the menu wheel.
You need to be in 4CH mode for the external lights to be on

I have the same problem wtih a RSQ500. I removed the cover and unscrew the top of the disk drive to remove the disk that was inside. I going to try to put the cover back and see if it works

Greetings! Ok, your amp has an XLR (3-prong) Low-Impedance input on Channel 1 for a Mic. All the other inputs are 1/4" High Impedance inputs, which are for instruments and/or other High Impedance items including low quality High Impedance Microphones. The SM48S is a high quality Low Impedance microphone, so if you use it with a 1/4" plug, it will be in a High Impedance channel, and will be very LOW in volume in comparison with everything else. So, you must use an XLR (3 prong) cable from the Mic to the Channel 1 input on your amp. That will do the trick. Good Luck with your new amp and Mic!

Assuming you are running windows XP you need to

1. right click the speaker in the lower right corner and select adjust audio properties.

2. Select the audio tab

3. Pull the drop down menu under sound recording and make sure it is selected to your audio driver device. Most are either soundmax, creative(for soundblaster and audigy standalone cards), realtek, or ASUS.

4. Next repeat step one but select open volume control

5. Go to options and then properties

6. Select the circle for recording and make sure your mic input is checked.

7. Close that window and recording mixers will pop up. Select the input you need by checking the box in the lower left corner of the mixer channel. Adjust the level and then use your recording program or sound recorder under Program files>accesories>communication>sound recorder.

Most Karaoke players REQUIRE a special format found on the Karaoke disks. You probably don't have compatible format on your SD card...

This sounds like a CD read error problem. I would clean the read head (read instructions for this as the head is very fragile).
If there is any chance of warranty being active, exercise it.
ALSO verify the discs are CLEAN with no smudges on the read surface. If you have dirt, clean with windex, rinse, and wipe OUTWARD radially, not in circles.
Remember these disks read from inside out unlike phonograph records.

I suspect the problem is with the software setup in your PC. Verify all the options and also verify that the AUDIO system is assigned as stereo and assigned to the Lexicon for both in and out... Also check any "PAN" control settings. There is a possibilty that the Alpha has a dead channel...

Try putting a stereo signal into the 1/4 inch jacks and see if both record... if NOT then take it for repair under warranty... I had a Lexicon Omega that had a problem myself... warranty repair...

The short answer is NO, it does not... BUT you should understand what MOST voice cancellers do. ESSENTIALLY they ASSUME that the vocalist is centered betweeen the stereo recording mics. The "voice cancellor" merely subtracts the left and right signal which REDUCES the voice from the center of the stage. Frankly, it doesn't work all that well. Somee typicall leaks through and often is garbled.
For Karaoke you best stay with media that already has vocals stripped from it.
