Product Description
The Star Station with two microphones lets kids turn any television into an instant hit show by putting the power of performance right into their hands. And now, the fun of the original Star Station is doubled with two wireless microphones. Kids can see and hear themselves on TV while performing to children's music. Using Plug and Play technology, the hardware unit plugs right into the TV, meaning the power truly is in kids' hands as they control the action. It's so much fun that family and friends will love to join in! With two mics, children can perform in perfect harmony while singing into their very own microphone. And because the microphones are wireless, there's no limitation to a performer's imaginative actions and dance moves. The Star Station will be accompanied by a music library of kid-appropriate songs. Hardware includes one ROM cartridge featuring four of kids' favorite sing-along songs. Additional ROM cartridges (sold separately) include a variety of music, with each ROM containing eight songs. The additional ROMs make it easy for kids to use as they can quickly and easily change the music and the theme of their show. Requires 6 "AA" and 3 "AAA" batteries, not included.
Amazon.com Product Description
Now your child can be a rock star on TV. With the Star Station Entertainment System kids sing into the microphone to perform favorite songs, all while watching and hearing their performance "live" on the television screen. The base unit uses plug-n-play technology to easily hook up to your TV, allowing performers to see and hear themselves as they put on their show. You can even record performances by connecting to a VCR or DVD player as well if your TV has audio/video input jacks.  | | Plug-n-play technology lets the base easily hook up to your TV. | The base has a controllable camera with five different lenses that create cool video effects, and the base's oversized, kid-friendly buttons make it simple for small hands to control all the action. The four buttons include play, pause, volume control, and song selection. The system comes with one cartridge with four recognizable sing-along tunes: If You're Happy and You Know It, Row Row Row Your Boat, This Old Man, and The Wheels on the Bus. When kids (or parents) grow tired of these songs, there are eight additional cartridges that can be purchased separately, or the device can be hooked up to a CD or MP3 player if kids have other favorites.  | | Wireless microphones let the action move around the room. | This entertainment system also includes two wireless microphones, which means double the fun. Kids can invite friends over to play, parents can join in, harmonies can be added, or solo performers can just hold one in each hand. The fact that they're wireless is ingenious. This allows budding pop stars to dance around as they sing, means they don't have to be two inches from the TV screen, and, most of all, means there are no cords for tripping over, ripping out, or taking up space when not in use. One base unit, two wireless microphones, and one music cartridge are included. The necessary six AA and three AAA batteries are not.

 Had it over a year...love it! November 18, 2009
K. Conley
We have had this toy for over 18 months. I gave it to my daughter for her 3rd b-day. We occasionally have issues getting the music playing. The mic quality is pretty decent for it's price. The unit's durability more then makes up for it. My daughter "cleans up" by throwing her toys in the basket. This unit has survived her cleaning habits quite well. I am back this time to buy more music for it.
My daughter has no major complaints. If she can't hear herself sing I turn down the volume dial on the unit and then turn up the TV volume. Problem fixed :)

My experience with Amazon has been phenomenal! Every item purchased came on time or before in excellent condition.
The Fisher Price Star Station Entertainment System was purchased as a christmas gift for my grandson. He loves music and to sing and dance with a microphone. When he saw himself on TV that did it. It comes with the sing-a-long pop in's he is singing nursery rhymes and lovin it. You can play your on music and the whole house is dancing and singing on TV.
Great - family gift - good way to spend quality family time together.
I recommend it to everyone
 star station review January 17, 2009
R. Bivens (Louisville, KY)
My kids love to see and hear themselves on the TV. They especially like the Dora the Explorer music. The only problem we have had is with the picture quality. We have a large screen TV and the picture is fuzzy. I don't know if the picture would be clearer on a smaller screen. Also, I hope they come out with a few more music cassettes.
Hours of fun for your little performers January 11, 2009

Bought this out during a "snow day" from school.... It was wonderful. It entertained my three kids (8,6 and 4) for ages. The quality of picture is fine (other reviews are not so favourable - but hey - this isn't Blu-Ray). It has a great picture. Easy to set up. I would highly recommend for your budding performers.
Much better than expected! January 9, 2009

My youngest, who was just turning three, loved to sing, dance, and pretend to play insruments. When he discovered how much fun it was to do this all in front of the full-length mirror in my room, I decided to look for something he could use in the same way for his birthday. I was torn about buying the Star Station because of so many mixed reviews. I am glad I decided to take a chance.
The camera works much better than a lot of the reviews led me to expect. As long as our room is well-lit, the picture comes out surprisingly good for a child's toy. No, it is not of the same quality of a normal TV picture or our video camera, but the picture comes pretty crisp and the colors pretty good. It is easy to hook up and use. The microphones work pretty good, we just sometimes have to adjust the TV volume and the Star Station volume to get a more ideal contrast. My son absolutely loves 'performing' and even his older sister and brother don't mind joining him! Here are our thoughts on the Star Station:
Pros:
Easy to set up
Microphones are cordless with adjustable volume
Easy to use
Can hook up external music
Seems pretty durable
Cons: (none of these are a big deal)
I wish the main unit plugged in instead of using batteries
With the microphones on high, we sometimes get feedback (small living room!)
The cartridges are getting harder to find and are getting more expensive
The music on most of the cartridges is not the original versions
I hunted down some of the cartridges that were reasonable, but the kids like it a lot more when I hook my iPod up. The cartridges are just music, and not versions your child may be able to sing along with. That is not a big deal, but it seems to be so much more fun to make a play list of my son's favorites and just let them play. Then you are not limited by unfamiliar songs or a small selection. You get exactly the music you want, what is most liked and most familiar.
This toy is very fun if your child has an interest in singing and dancing or performing and would like to see themselves on television. It encourages them to use their imaginations and just have some fun. We've had a very good experience with ours.
