Creative way to use AVR as a Karaoke system

[Premblr]

Dear FMs,

Do we have any solution to get Karaoke from a AVR without adding a dedicated Karoke system? I have seen DVD players with Karoake functionality, other than this I saw some USB Mike with Karoke.

Have anybody explored on this area? I have a Denon 1713 and it has USB and HDMI inputs.

Cheers,
Prem

There are two issues, or maybe three :-
1. Karaoke audio tracks - these may be downloaded from the internet.
2. Voice over using mic - this is available in some DVD players.
3. Lyrics on TV - this is only available in dedicated karaoke units.

After a bit of exploration, I settled for a Mediacom karaoke jukebox that I can either carry around as a stand-alone unit or use in my home connected to my TV and AVR.

Thanks nshankar, I was trying for some jugaad. Not a full dedicated box. The AVR has AUX/ USB inputs, was thinking of some way through which you can play the Karaoke audio track and mix up the voice from a mic input and output it through the normal surround speakers connected to the AVR. Not really particular about lyrics on TV.

good evening guys,
sorry for reviving a old thread.... but the kid just brought this challenge to me. Need karaoke to work with my AVR/speakers. I understand these need to be done on an external device and then feed to AVR. I have BR player, a media player, a mic, wondering if someone can suggest a cheap solution(do i need to buy a mixer).

TIA

Folks,
Did start a thread on this a while ago, on how to set up a budget karaoke system. Here is that thread.
Cheers.

It is easier if the DVD player or BDP has mic inputs the thread is about using an AVR to do some jugaad.
