Product Profile

DRX-820U 1 5 1 1
Unfortunately Relied on Sony I needed a drive quick to run a karaoke show at a party at work tomorrow. I bought the PowerKaraoke software and already have a bunch of karaoke CD+G discs. I didn't fathom that Sony's new drive off the shelf woulden't support CD+G. Why doesn't the latest drive support a basic feature? Also, I just bought this off the shelf at Wal Mart and there is little support information and it says it is no longer available. I have to completely cancel a major thing tomorrow, and I'm blaming Sony. July 9, 2009
