MTU does not know what kind of setup you are going use. The equipment they sell is general and not necessarily enough for a complete hook-up. The converter that they sell and you purchased is just that and is not made to split between two monitors.
Because you are going to use two, you need a splitter/amplifier to get this to work correctly, for all song files. I too have had this problem with a couple brands that use some very bright backgrounds. Radio Shack has an inexpensive one that is for one RCA in and up to 8 RCA out. Add this in line between the converter and the monitor. I would also recommend you get shielded cables such as Monster cables though there are other brands that are not quite as expensive. Both of these changes completely cleared up my problems.

Then in that case you were using the "on-line" search database. This is not controlled by MTU, but is a pass through link to FreeDB, a free on-line database that uses inputs from individuals. The bad part is they do not have very many of the Karaoke discs information and they require that the Artist be in the First Name Last Name format.
Had you used the built-in "Local" database, you would have found many more of the Karaoke Discs listed aand the Artist would have been in Last Name, First Name. You should have asked about it sooner and we could have saved you a few of yours problems.
