Platinum Kool Sound Junior Lite KS-5 DVD Karaoke Player Review
We Filipinos love to sing and most of the occasions we always have a Videoke. We have searched for the best and cheapest Videoke player that we can find in lazada and put it to the test. Is it worth its price tag? Or is it good? Let’s find out!
It comes with a CD and a song book with more than 1500 songs. What’s cool is that it also comes with a songbook. Some of the song on the songbook is not working for some reason.
It comes with a wired mic with 15ft cable which is long enough for most use. The sound is not the best but it doesn’t sound cheap. It sounds most likely the same with other good karaoke out there.
The user interface is very simple, you only have the eject and power button at the front. All other controls are on the remote control. This is a big problem when your remote control ran out of battery. You won’t be able to use this machine without the remote control so be careful.
It has 2 mic input but it only comes with 1 mic. There is only 1 volume control for the mic so you won’t be able to control the individual mic volume in case you want to use 2 mics. This is a problem if you are using a different mic for your second mic or when the other singer has louder voice. There is also only one control for echo which has 8 levels. The echo is too much for my taste but it is same with what you hear on most Videoke.
It has no control over sound quality(i.e.equalizer) other than volume.
You have an option to turn off the scoring which is cool. I hate it when the Videoke is displaying your score with those ugly music effects. Simply because the scoring of most videoke is not telling the truth. It is telling you that you are a great singer even if you have a terrible voice!
It is connected via RCA port and not HDMI so you won’t be expecting a good quality video. Not so much an issue because of its cheap price and its for singing and not for watching Movies.
Final Words:
This Videoke player is cheap and yet does its job done. With its price tag, there is really nothing to complain about. It comes with a karaoke CD and a songbook which is a big bonus considering its cheap price. It has a USB slot for playing videos but keep in mind this has only RCA connector which means the resolution is limited to SD.

Caution:
LCD/LED TVs usually have a delay circuit for its audio. this is because it take some time to process the video signal before it comes out on the screen. So to make the video signal to be in sync with the audio, a delay on the audio signal is necessary. Because of this reason, it is not advisable to use the built-in speaker of the TV for singing. Your sound system should be connected on the player and not on the TV. You will surely hear the delay on your mic when you use the TV sound which is annoying.
