The only thing I can think of is that PAL uses 220v, and NTSC-J uses 115/120v, IIRC. You'll probably need a stepdown transformer. That is, if it gets its power from an AC source, and not the console itself. |

| yeh its gets the power from its own seperate AC supply. So it shouldnt blow up my DC? | ||||

The karaoke unit has a power input and a power output. You don't have to use the output cable, and personally, I don't recommend it especially since it's PAL vs NTSC. For NTSC-J / U the difference isn't that great.
Just get a step down transformer for the karaoke unit to convert your 220v to the 100/110v Asia uses. Just keep using the power cord from your DC to power it. Don't use the daisy-chain method. It won't work (stepping down 220 to power the karaoke, but the karaoke won't be able to power the 220 DC.) Unfortunately, there aren't any songs included on the karaoke disc.  Mine just sits under my import console and that's about it. I'll pop the disc in just for kicks, but there isn't much to do. Perhaps if we write to SOJ to see if they could maybe e-mail us a few sample / free songs and we could host them. We could easily redirect the software. I just hope it does run through a connection / authentication server. It'd be nice if the downloads were initiated server-side (SOJ side) and the file was sent directly like a CGI script or something. |

That's the same disc I got with mine. It's just the software that downloads and temporarily saves the song data to the unit. (oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the karaoke unit never actually saves the songs. So you purchase them, but it's only while the unit is still on (if I have my information correct.)). I'm not too clear on how it works, like whether or not you can go back and temporarily download it again without having to repurchase the song data.
That's just incase the original software wasn't included. I wish Sega had some out with a karaoke CD full of songs. |
