Karaoke Around the World : Global Technology, Local Singing by Toru Mitsui (Editor), Shuhei Hosokawa (Editor)

Using the theoretical framework of thinkers from Erving Goffman to Foucault, the contributors to this volume consider the technological, spatial, communicative, ethnic, national, political, musical and gender aspects of karaoke in specific places and times across the globe. This study explores the influence of karaoke in such different societies as the United Kingdom, North America, Australia, Italy, Sweden, Brazil, Korea and Japan. The essays not only answer a variety of questions about this phenomenon, but also open up possible ways of theorizing contemporary music practice in the future.

GPX DV7000 Dolby Digital Home Theater System with DVD and Karaoke

GPX has designed a refreshing all-in-one home theater system that's perfect for apartment dwellers and new initiates into the realm of DVD. The DV7000 DVD player and subwoofer-satellite speaker system takes up less space than some of today's boomboxes, and it's just as easy to hook up. As GPX boasts, "simply add your TV" and you're good to go to the movies from the comfort of your own easy chair.

Features:
 

• Complete home theater entertainment includes DV7000 that plays CDs, video CDs, and DVDs
• Amplified 5.1 surround sound with Dolby Digital decoding
• Dual microphone jacks with separate volume control (microphone not included)
• Remote control with automatic pitch adjustments
• Multilanguage display

The DV7000 also offers a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, an increasingly rare feature among today's fifth-generation DVD players. The built-in decoder and supplied connection cables let you plug in and play the system without the need for a space-gobbling surround receiver or any additional components--except a TV. (If you already have a surround receiver, the DVD player also sports a coaxial digital-audio output to bypass its internal decoding.)  (Read More....)

GPX DV2000 DVD/VCD/CD Player with Karaoke

"I recently purchased this product as a gift (for myself :) ) and I didn't expect much. GPX has never been much of a brand name, and I  had no intention of using it that much. Now, after spending countless hours watching ALL of the DVD movies I can get my hands on, I have a new perspective. It is merely the name that keeps this product from being a bestseller. Don't look at external appearances, read into it, watch the EXTREMELY high quality movies, and enjoy life!" -- Anonymous Review (amazon.com)
