RJ Tech RJ-4200 Karaoke + 2 Microphones Multi Region Code Free DVD Player 110 220 Volts PAL NTSC
This nifty little device combines a DVD player with the function of karaoke to offer the type of package karaoke fans dream of. But does is measure up to that promise? It depends on which feature you’re more excited about, the karaoke player of the DVD. Read on to find out more.
A lot of people are always on the look-out for one machine that performs more than one function. In general if you are willing to pay more, then you can get a good quality karaoke system that does two or more things very well. The RJ Tech RJ4200 Karaoke DVD is on the lower end of the price spectrum for a karaoke machine, and a little high for a standard DVD player. Depending on where you buy this machine the price can hover between 70-100 dollars, so definitely look for a good deal when buying. Do you have to sacrifice a bit of quality for the convenience of having a DVD player and karaoke? Slightly, but it’s only really noticeable if you are a tried and true karaoke veteran. Here are the features of the RJ Tech RJ4200 Karaoke DVD Player:
The ability to play and sing karaoke songs
Raising or Lowering pitch when singing
Direct song access with front numeric buttons
Progressive scan DVD player for crystal clear video
Supports Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound formats
Fully functional DVD player with no region restrictions
Volume, echo, and delay control features as the touch of a button
Remote control compatibility for distance control (perfect for parties)
Remote control and batteries
2 wired microphones (very good deal, most systems only come with one)
Progressive scan video out
VGA Output for Monitor and Projector
Cable out for TV and sound hookup
All of the features make for a great karaoke machine, and the ability to raise and lower the tone/keys is very fun to have for karaoke games. One warning though: this machine is slightly complicated to setup and use. It comes with everything you need, but you won’t exactly be plugging-in and playing until you figure out the manual. Sound quality from the microphones can appear to be quite bad if you don’t set up the machine properly. So if you get this machine and your first impression is that it doesn’t work, you should read the manual thoroughly.
As for the DVD player, it works well and the best feature is the all-region ability so you can play your DVDs from any part of the world. You will be able to play your favourite movies no problem and sit back on your couch to relax with the included remote control. This model has come a long way from the karaoke machines of the past.
Final analysis: Although this review seems to be going positively so far, there are some things that prevent it from scoring higher. This karaoke DVD machine makes a decent impression, and both main features work as advertised, but it still leaves a lingering feeling that you can get better quality by purchasing a separate karaoke machine and DVD player. There are better karaoke machines out there if you are willing to pay a little bit more, and the DVD player on this model can easily be topped with a high-end model elsewhere. Of course this will end up costing you more money so you will have to choose what’s more important to you: having one machine with 2 features, or having 2 machines that both give high performance. In the end, if you are a casual user of both karaoke and DVD players, then this model RJ Tech RJ4200 Karaoke DVD Player is perfectly acceptable to fit standard expectations. And of course the inclusion of 2 microphones can’t be beat.
Score: 3.5/ 5 karaoke points
