Thanks for your responses.
I should have mentioned that I did download the latest version of DirectX.
The quality of the CDG file looks very clean when I play it on my computer. The problem shows up only on a burned CD. I have played the disc in two different karaoke players with the same result. The original media are all original and the graphices look just fine when played. I have several different manufacturers (Top Tunes, Chartbuster, Sweet Georgia Brown, etc.) and all have some problems. Charbuster seems to be the worst followed by Top Tunes.
I have not cleaned the laser (didn't know that I could/should) but since I just received the burner from MTU in the previous week, I wouldn't think it should need it.
Thanks,

Eldon
