lyrics Are the lyrics displayed on the monitor screen? Do only the CDG discs do this, or regular CDs as well?

Only the CDGs do that. There is no video normally on a straight CD. The G stands for graphics.

1. If you download karaoke songs from itunes onto your ipod and then plug it into this system, do the lyrics appear on the screen? I would be wary of CD+G from iTunes, for the simple fact that Karaoke music is comprised of two separate files. IF and only IF you download the music and the data file which is required from iTunes as one (and I doubt it), then you should have no problem. Also, in order to make a CD+G disc to use in the device, you need Karaoke Software like Karaoke Studio which is capable of making discs from the two files. I think most complaints that you'll read where people are saying the lyrics are not showing up are people who are unaware of Karaoke files actually are and what's required. When they burn a disc and press play, the music comes on and the lyrics don't because you have to use specific software. Karaoke is an investment for sure and the Music +G is never cheap. 2. Do all karaoke cds work on this system, and do the lyrics always show up on the screen as well? I've purchased several Karaoke compilations from Amazon and they've all worked so far without problem. As anyone who knows Karaoke will say, it's best to try and master three or four songs and really develop your ability. If you really want to make those songs the way you want it, like adjusting the lyrics as they're sometimes wrong or inserting background pictures, Karaoke software is the next step.

Rufus, Just bought this and love it, but, yes, the text generated from using CC onscreen button is very small. May be a way to get captions from the program source (such as streamed PBS or DVDs) or to increase size of the "default" CC text. Will get back to you if I find a way.Ok I'm back and and the text size isn't as small as I thought. It seems to measure 3/8", which works fine for me at 7 feet away. I think 3/8" is the suggested minimum size for viewing up to about 10 feet away for captioning. There is some variation in fonts, but it mostly seems to be uppercase sans serif something like Tahoma, if that means anything to you. You can also turn on subtitles to DVDs. Hope this helps.

Yes the screen automatically comes out and turn on the CD player. But, my screen worked for a month and a half and now the whole system does not turn on at all and the screen will not come out anymore.

I don't have any lyrics attached to any files, since all mine are from my own CDs. There is no mention of this in the Sansa manual (you should probably download it from the Sandisk site). The closest I could find was the few "tags," they suggest you can add, if they are missing, and lyrics was not one of them. After more than 6 months of nobody fixing or even acknowledging the major bug in the player, and taking more than 2 months to get one with a decent battery, I wasted no time in converting mine to "RockBox." There is a plugin called lrcplayer that works with it. You should download the PDF to read up on it... it's called "rockbox-sansaclipzip.pdf", and you can get it from the RockBox site. However, final note, with the size of the screen (in pixels), it is questionable as to how useful displaying lyrics on it would be.

No, it will not show song lyrics. It will show the artist and song. If you attached a pic then it will show the CD cover, song and artist. Hope this helped.

I have not used the CD feature yet. I'm sure you can find the instructions in the booklet enclosed with the unit.

The karaoke cd has to be a CDG (g for graphic) in order for the words to show. If it is a CDG and the words still don't show, I would check on the internet and contact the maker for an instruction book to download. Good luck!

No, it does not. When the unit is on and a disk is playing, you will see the current playback position, but when the unit is off there is no display.

No, it does not. And I am very disappointed with the player. It skips over songs and when I tried to listen to a "sermon" cd that I purchased from my church, I took the cd back and told them it was defected. They played the cd for me and that's when I knew the problem was with the cd player and I am addressing the situation now. I plan to return it.

I specifically requested from Amazon cd's that can be recorded on cd recorders. why do they display yours which cannot?
562617
It does not show the time of day. Nor does it show how much time is left on the track or the CD. It does show which track number you are on. Very simple display.

No, it plays only CDs, but it plays them very well. I would highly recommend this!

Yes, of course. With CD playback, depending on the contents of the CD, the album name, cover art,and details about each track are shown on the TV screen.

The CD goes in just above the round tuner and the printing just above the blue display. Its just a little difficult to see in this picture. But it is there and works well no complaints with this unit.

I'm not sure what you mean! A CD in its original plastic case fits perfectly with the title UP so you can read the title! Hope this helps!
