HOW TO OPERATE

1 Preparing Song Files

A. Encoding Audio CD or CD+G discs

Encoding of song files from audio CD or CD+G discs can be done in two ways:

*directly in JB-199 Premier

*using JB-199 Manager program (in Windows platform or in a remote PC)

Note: Encoding a CD+G disc requires a CD+G compatible disc drive connected to

JB-199 Premier or a remote PC. See Chapter: Optional Devices.

Note: For instruction on how to encode a CD or CD+G discs directly in JB-199 Premier, see 2. Disc Capture in Chapter: Advanced Functions.

The files encoded directly in JB-199 Premier can only be used in that particular JB-199 Premier unit. To use the encoded files in other applications, such as making Super CD+G or playing in PlayCDG SP (see www.cavsusa.com), encode using JB-199 Manager program.

Using JB-199 Manager program (in Windows platform or in a remote PC)

-Start the program and click on CDG ENCODER.

-Insert the CD or CD+G disc into the disc drive and close the tray.

-Press SOURCE DRIVE button to select a disc drive, if there is more than one, which contains the disc.

-Press READ TOC button to display the tracks of the disc in the left side panel.

-Press Target button to select a directory in which the encoded files will be stored.

-Select a track you wish to encode by placing a check mark and inputting a title. If you wish to select all, press the Check All button and input a title.

Note: The files encoded will be named as the inputted titles. Assign a different title to each track to avoid overwriting.

-Select a disc drive speed at which the disc will be read.

-Select the compression rate at which the audio data will be encoded. Normally it is set at 128Kbps.

-Select the Sync timing of lyric display relative to the music. The 75 frames is equivalent to 1 second. Normally it is set at 0.

-Check the Send Graphic Files button, indicating both audio and graphics are to be encoded. For audio CD, do not check the Send Graphic Files button.

-Press Encode button to start encoding.

The right side panel will display the extracted files as follows:
