My microphone is connected to the 205G USB player using MIC 1 or MIC 2 jack in the front panel. The AV output of the 205G USB player is connected to a TV using HDMI or RCA outputs. But when I am singing into the microphone, the singing voice is coming out with a delay. The Echo is turned down to zero using the remote control of the 205G USB player.
_x000D_\n
The cause is your AV connection. Instead of connecting audio directly from the 205G USB player to the receiver or speakers, you are connecting the AV output of the 205G USB player to the TV first using HDMI or RCA, and then taking the sound out from the TV to the receiver or audio system. Even the latest and greatest TVs in the world takes a split second to in-take the AV signal, process it, and then output the audio.
_x000D_\n
So, if your receiver or audio system takes in only the RCA input, connect the 205G USB RCA audio output (red and white RCA outputs) to the receiver or audio system directly. If your receiver or audio receiver takes in the HDMI input, connect the HDMI output of the 205G USB player first into the receiver and let the receiver split the video portion which you can then connect to the TV, and let the audio portion go out to the speakers.
_x000D_\n
If you are using the built-in speakers in the TV only, not a separate receiver or audio system, you can connect the HDMI or RCA output of the 205G USB player directly into the TV. But if you using a separate receiver or audio system with speakers that is not built-in to the TV, always go directly from the 205G USB player output to the receiver or audio system first.

For the song files in the Super CD+G format (disc or drive), the index number of the song files do not change. But for the song files of MP3+G or AVC in a drive, the index number of the song files can change when song files are added or removed. It is because the index numbers are generated each time according to the order of the song files being copied into the drive.
_x000D_\n
To fix the index number of the song files from changing, name each of the song file as #00000-TITLE-SINGER.
For example,
#12345-TITLE-SONGER.MP3, #12345-TITLE-SINGER.CDG
#12345-TITLE-SINGER.AVC
The song files named as above will have the index number fixed as 12345.

This instruction shows the most common causes of no audio problem in CAVS karaoke player.
\n
The setting is as follows:
\n
- \n
- CAVS Karaoke player is connected to an external sound system using the analog (Red and White) RCA connectors (left most) on the back panel.
- CAVS Karaoke player is turned on and playing a song.
- The external sound system is turned on and set to correct input/output.
\n
\n
\n
\n
When experiencing no audio, check the following settings:
\n
- \n
- In the control panel of the karaoke program, go to Tools > Settings and set the ‘Sound’ to “Primary Sound Driverâ€.
- In the control panel of the karaoke program, set the ‘Volume’ level of music to ‘50’ or higher. Refer to the User Manual to find the Volume level control.
- In the Windows, go to Start > Settings > System > Sound and set the ‘Output’ to ‘Speakers (Realtek® Audio)’.

\n\n\n\n\n
This instruction shows how to enable or disable the CAVS Karaoke player to have a static IP address in a local network.
\n
The setting is as follows:
\n
- \n
- CAVS Karaoke player connects to a wireless router, using a LAN cable or Wi-Fi.
- The wireless router assigns an IP address to the CAVS Karaoke player.
- Customers connect the E-Songbooks such as phones or tablets to the same wireless router. Then they input the IP address of the CAVS Karaoke player to connect to CAVS Karaoke player and select songs.
\n
\n
\n
\n
When the CAVS Karaoke player has the same IP address each time it is turned on, the customers can connect their E-Songbooks without inputting a new IP address each time. However, powering off the wireless router or CAVS Karaoke player overnight can change the IP address. This is when you may wish to set the CAVS Karaoke player to have a static IP address over the power cycle.
\n
Enabling to have a static IP address assumes that the wireless router and CAVS Karaoke player stay the same in the setting. But when there is a need to change the router, such as to connect to Internet using a different router, the setting to have a static IP address in CAVS Karaoke player can block the connection to a new router. This is when you may wish to disable the setting for a static IP address in the CAVS karaoke player.
\n
A. Enable a static IP address in local network
\n
- \n
- Boot up the CAVS Karaoke player. It will start the Windows OS and then the CAVS Karaoke program. Turn on the wireless router. Connect the two by LAN or Wi-Fi as always in the setting. It is import to use even the same LAN ports as always if connecting by LAN.

CAVS 205G USB Karaoke Machine and Problems Playing AVC Files on a Flash Drive
I have struggled with self-prepared flash drives, which contain many AVC files (sometimes hundreds). Specifically, when choosing a song to play on the CAVS 205G USB Karaoke Machine, especially via the front panel buttons, will not always play that song. Even when following the CAVS videos on You Tube, or following the guidance in the user manual, about keeping directory sizes to 500 songs or less, yields mixed results.
Here is the simple work around…Ensure all Base File Names (the part before the AVC extension) are in the format of \”Title-Artist\”. Extra dashes must be eliminated in the Base File Name…Keep your directory sizes to 30 songs or less…Name the directories as the number range for the file numbers and make those numbers 5 digit, (for example, 00031-00060, or 01251-01280)… Always start with a freshly formatted (FAT32) flash drive, create each directory as you go and copy the files to the directory in strict order (this can be checked with the DIR command in Power Shell or in a CMD session)… Note the Karaoke Machine will allow you to create Song List TXT files as well.
Taking these steps have worked well for me. Note that this problem DOES NOT occur when using a flash drive containing indexed (Using MCG Manager (CAVS USA Freeware)) mcg mp3 files.
I hope this Information can help. It took me many hours before I stumbled on it.
As shown in the attached picture files,
1. Upgrade the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT program to the latest version.

There are 4 basic steps to connect the E-Songbook to the karaoke player. These steps apply to all CAVS E-Songbooks and karaoke players.
1. Connect the karaoke player to a wireless router. The connection may be wireless or wired. The router would have a network name, and in this example, we call it CAVS Network.
When connecting the karaoke player to the router using a LAN cable, be sure to connect to a LAN port of the router, instead of WAN port.
2. In the karaoke player, open the CAVS RS II Server program window. You can move your mouse to the bottom of the screen and click on the icon with a green circle. It will open the CAVS RS II Server program window. In the window, note the IP address at the top. This is the IP address assigned by the router to the karaoke player.
3. Start the E-Songbook (or cell phone, tablet, etc.). Go to the Wi-Fi setting to connect the E-Songbook to the same router, CAVS Network.
4. Start the CAVS RS II Client app in the E-Songbook. Click on Setting and select Set Server IP adress. There, put in the IP address of the karaoke player found int Step 2 above. Click on Done or Save and return to the initial page of the CAVS RS II Client app. Wait a few seconds for the song list to transfer from the karaoke player to the E-Songbook.
You will be able to see the progress of the transfer by the color sign with Red indicating the connection is not established, Blue indicating the song list is being transferred, and Green indicating that the song list transfer is complete and the E-Songbook is ready for use.
Press the Song Book to see the song list on the E-Songbook. It is now ready for use.
There are different types of Shuttle Touch Screen players incorporated into All-In-One system. Each type, including V2, V4, or V5, requires a different wooden board, and different connections to assemble to the All-In-One system.
To replace the Shuttle Touch Screen player that you have in your All-In-One system with the same type however is relatively easy requiring only good common sense.
0.Open the All-In-One system and raise the upper board to the maximum angle.
1.Disconnect all cables and flash drives currently connected to your old Shuttle Touch Screen player. This applies to the USB connectors (on all sides), the power supply connector, and the VGA connector on the back.
Use plenty of cell phone pictures of the connectors before disconnecting to remind you of the wiring when you are putting back the replacement unit.
2.There are 4 screws holding the Shuttle Touch Screen player to the wooden board. Unscrew the 4 screws from the back side of the wooden board.
Take caution not to drop the Shuttle Touch Screen player when the last screw is undone.
3.Place the new Shuttle Touch Screen player into the same position on the wooden board and use the 4 screws to attach.
Do not tighten the screws with too much force as the grooves on the Shuttle Touch Screen player may tear out.
4.Reconnect all the wires and USB flash drives onto the new Shuttle Touch Screen player.
You are done replacing the Shuttle Touch Screen player. If you are using the E-Songbooks and wish to reserve the IP address of the new Shuttle Touch Screen player in the TP-Link router, please go to \”How to set up a TP-Link router for E-Songbook\” on the category E-Songbook > TP-Link Router.

If audio isn’t working properly here are some steps you can take to correct the issue:1. Test the sound card. The sound card is the PCI card thats directly in the middle of all three PCI cards. Run an \”auxiliary to RCA\” cable from the female audio jack attached to the sound card (red end), to an external speaker. If audio does not play, then it is likely the sound card is at fault. If audio does come out of the speaker, then proceed to step two.2. Check the PCI card and make sure it is firmly inserted in to the PCI slot on the motherboard. The PCI card is the card located in the PCI slot farthest to the right. if you’re looking at the unit from the front. if this does not resolve your issue, proceed to step three.3. If your problem has yet to be resolved using the previous steps after you have done both of the previous steps, your problem may be the rear board. Switch your RCA cables through both sets of RCA ports on the rear panel, if you’re not getting audio from either one, then your rear board can be the cause of the issue.

If your JB-199 player front panel buttons stoped work as well as the remote control buttons, you need to check few things.
Â
Step One. You have to go to the Windows desktop, make a right click on \”My Computer\”, then click on \”Properties\” -> \”Hardware\” -> \”Device Manager\”, and in the \”Ports (COM & LPT)\” item check, that 2 x \”Communication ports\” are present (COM1 & COM2). They a re also must be enabled. If one of them is missing, you have to turn it on in \”BIOS\”.
Â
Step Two. If both communication ports are present in the \”Ports (COM & LPT)\” item of the \”Device Manager\”, you have to take the top cover off from the JB-199 and check the wires connection. Check the wires, marked on the attached pictures. They are must be connected.Â
There are steps can help to resolve this problem.
Â
Step 1. Check the \”PCI Card\” driver software.
  Make a right click on \”My Computer\” icon, go to \”Properties\”.  Then go to \”Hardware\” and \”Device Manager\”. In the \”System devices\”, check for the \”EnvyLogic Easy Target WDM Driver V1.0\” device. (See attachment \”Step_1.JPG\”)
If you don’t see this device, look for an \”Unknown Items\” tab and if it is there, reinstall the driver for it…Â PCI Card Driver-WinXP.zipÂ
Â
  If you cannot to find \”EnvyLogic Easy Target WDM Driver V1.0\” device and you don’t see any \”Unknown Items\”, go to Step 2 below.
Â
Step 2. Take the JB-199 top cover off… and then pull out the PCI Card (See attachment \”Step_2.JPG\” ) and insert it back. You are making sure of the contacts on the PCI card to the main board. Now go back to Step 1.
Â
You can also check if the \”PCI Card\” is installed correctly or not by running the PCI Card Test. Start the test and press on the \”Read ADC\” button and on the \”Read DS2432\” button. (See attachments \”Step_3.JPG\” and \”Step_4.JPG\”).  If the test program does not freeze and you see various information displayed in a window on the bottom, the PCI Card is installed correctly. If not, go back to \”Step 1\”.

The location of the song contents in JB-199 unit will differ between the old and the new. For the old units with a single partition hard drive, the songs are stored in a folder C:\NJB99\Songs. For the new units with dual partitioned hard drives, they will be in D:\Songs.
Â
Right click on the Songs folder and select Copy. Do not go inside the Songs folder. Simply copy the entire folder. Next go to the external hard drive or any storage media you prepared and paste. Inside the Songs folder, there are many subfolders named such as JB000000, JB001000, etc. No need to concern yourself with the details as you should copy the entire folder Songs without going inside.
Â
Moving to a new JB-199 unit, simply copy and paste the Songs folder from the external hard drive into D:\ drive of the new JB-199 unit. There will be already a folder call Songs in the D:\ drive. Rename the already existing folder Songs to Songs2, and paste the folder Songs from the external hard drive.
Â
To test and play a song, be sure to go to MENU > 5. System Control > 9. NCG File Protection and set it to Off. Select a song and play to confirm the video and audio outputs.
Â
The VGA ouput for a PC monitor has no video signal coming out. The RCA outputs for an external TV have no video signal outputs. It is important that both VGA and RCA outputs have no video signal outputs.The cause of the problem above is likely to be either the defective video card or the defective rearboard. How can you tell which is defective?Take the RCA video cable from the TV and disconnect it from the RCA output of the JB-199. It would be a male end of the RCA cable.Open the top cover and locate the video card inside, which is the right most vertically inserted card if you are standing in front of the player. It will have two sets of cables connected. Take the top one from the S-video output of the video card and follow the cable to a yellow RCA output among others. It would also be a male end.With the JB-199 unit powered on, touch the two male end of the RCA cable from the TV and the video card. If the video card is alive and working, you will see the JB-199 Welcome screen on the TV. In this case the rearboard is defective. If instead the video card is defective, there will be no display on the TV monitor..

- Some JB-199s have hard drives that have a single partition with the songs stored in the C: partition.  It is recommended that the hard drive be dual partitioned into C: and D: partitions, and the songs be moved to D: partition, separate from the system files in C: partition.
- In order to partition the existing hard drive (with its original single partition C:), you need to first get a partitioning program such as
- Partition Magic
- Paragon Partition Manager
- EASEUS Partition Manager
- These programs can be found in the Internet, mostly as free shareware. The instructions on how to use these programs are in their websites or in the programs. Please learn the instruction carefully.
- Use any one of the programs to dual parition the hard drive into C: and D: partitions.  The idea is the use the empty space currently available inside the hard drive and turn it into the second parition D:.  For example, given a 250G hard drive, if it has 150G free space left, then the second partition D: can be made for the 150G free space. DO NOT erase the existing C: parition as it will wipe out the whole data including the songs inside the hard drive.
- Once the second partition D: is made, move the songs that are stored in the \”C:\NJB99\Songs\” folder to D: partition.  It is best to move the entire folder \”Songs\” from C: to D:.
- Having moved the \”Songs\” folder (the entire song data) to D: partition, the original C: partition will have some free space left. Use the partitioning program again to adjust the sizes the partitions, reducing the size of the C: partition and increasing the size of D: partition. Note that it is a good practice to leave not less than 20G in C: partition for the system files.
- The dual partitioning of the hard drive is now complete. Please go www.cavsusa.com and upgrade your JB-199 program to the latest version. Note that you must go to the correct type of the JB-199 player (JB-199, JB-199II, JB-199II Premier, etc.) to upgrade the program. The latest versions of the JB-199 programs will recognize the songs in D: partition automatically.
In Step 4, it is possible that D: partition newly made may not be big enough to take in all of \”Songs\” folder. In this case, connect the JB-199 with an external hard drive that has sufficient size, and move the \”Songs\” folder out into the external hard drive. Next adjust the sizes of C: and D: partitions as in Step 6. Then move back the \”Songs\” folder from the external hard drive into the D: partition.
If you’re trying to start the program and the \”WinPlayCDG.exe is not valid Win32 application\” error shows up, use this fix:
- Go to \”Documents/PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64LT/Utility\” and run the \”WinRecovery\” application.
- Click on \”WinPlayCDG 64LT (HTTP)Recovery\” button.
- The \”WinPlayCDG.exe\” file will be recovered from reserved copy.
- Now you can run the \”PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64LT\” application and update it to the latest version.
Please follow the instruction below to find and obtain a copy of the song list in JB-199.
- Connect the JB-199 player to a PC monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Instruction on how to connect these items is given in the User Manual.
- Start the JB-199. At the Welcome Screen, press Alt-F4 using the keyboard to exit out of the program into the Windows desktop.
- Find the JB-199 Songlist.txt icon on the desktop. Double click on the icon to open the Songlist in Notepad.
- Click on File > Save As (of the Notepad). Select a removable memory device (such as a USB Thumb drive – USB flash drive) that you can connect to the JB-199 as the destination to store the file in.
- Once the Songlist.txt is saved into the removable memory device, take the file to a PC and open it in Microsoft Excel to edit. Please refer to the instruction on \”How to edit the songlist in JB-199\” for editing in this User Forum.
End
To change the Welcome message on the JB-199 initial screen,
- Start up JB-199. Press Alt-F4 and exit out to Windows desktop.
- Double click on JBConfig.exe icon on the desktop. Select the Message tab. (If you cannot find the JBConfig.exe icon on the desk top, go to C:\NJB99\Config\ and open jbconfig.txt file to edit)

- Change the Screen resolution to 1024 x 768. Press Apply and then OK.  You may be asked to reboot and if so, please reboot the JB-199.
- Now the PC monitor should display the screen correctly.
- If the problem with the PC monitor continues, it can be due to a worng or cracked video driver. You will then need to find the driver program for the video card inside your JB-199 usually from Internet and download. Having installed the new driver, you can follow the instructions above again to correct the monitor problem.
END

This problem is due to the power cable extension that is used inbetween the power supply cable coming from the power supply and the main board. Please refer to the attached 3 pictures.
Â
Picture 1: Shows power supply cable with extension that is connected to the main board.
Picture 2: Shows the extension removed from the power supply cable and the main board.
Picture 3: Shows the power supply cable directly connected to the main board without the extension.
Â
As shown in the picture, the extension needs to be removed. The problem comes from a bad connection between the power supply cable and extention. This bad connection is occuing only in extremely hot environment inside the JB-199 unit.
Â
The extension has a cable with 2 wires going out to the Rear board. Now that the extension is removed, this cable to the Rear board must also be removed. The purpose of this 2 wire cable is to supply the power to the Rear board before the main board thus eliminating the poping sound at the start of JB-199. This popping sound does not damage the unit and only happens at the start of the unit, something that is far less inconvenient than the power supply interruptions.Â
This is happened, probably, because you don’t have a \”D:\” partition in your hard drive. For all of the new CAVS JB-199 software upgrades the \”D:\” partition is REQUIRED. Path to the folder with the songs chould be: \”D:\Songs\”. Check is it present or not before upgrading. If you maked a software upgrade and you see the error, related with \”D:\” partition, or just your songs are not recognized by JB-199, you have two choises:
Â
1. Create a \”D:\” partition. (Preferred.) This video can help you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZYzKYFo8K0
2. You can restore the previous version of the software. Run the software upgrade file again, but instead of clicking \”Upgrade\”, click on \”Restore\” in the left top corner. You will see the open file window. In that window you will see all the backed up versions of the JB-199 software. Choose the earliest version and wait till it will be restored.Â
Inside every Super CD+G disc, there is a song list LIST.TXT stored in a text file format (.txt).Â
- Insert the Super CD+G disc into a DVD disc drive in your PC.
- Open the disc drive in Windows Explorer (or My Computer).
- You will find a folder DiskCdg inside. Open the folder to find LIST.TXT file inside.
- Copy the LIST.TXT file onto your hard drive or flash drive for printing.
For the instruction on how to print the LIST.TXT file, go to \”How to print the song list files such as Juke.txt?\”

When the contents of an external USB drive is copied onto another external hard drive, there is one thing to be careful about.
If the song files in the original external USB hard drive are in a folder along with English.inx and juke.txt files, they can be copied to another drive with no problem.
However, when the song files in the original USB hard drive are inside a subfolder _Songs and the files English.inx, juke.txt and Address.inx are together with the _Songs subfolder, then after copying the contents to a new hard drive, you must run INXmaker program on the file juke.txt to recreate the Address.inx file in the new drive.
Â
Address.inx is a file that keeps record of physical locations of all songs. So copying the contents of a hard drive to another make this Address.inx file useless. That is why we must run INXmaker program again on the juke.txt file in the new hard drive to recreate the Address.inx for the new hard drive.
Â
Thanks,
JB-199 hard drive can be easily upgraded in size. You may do so for more space or because the old hard drive is showing signs of age.
- Remove the top cover of JB-199. There are screws to remove on each sides and back.
- Take out the hard drive inside JB-199 by disconnecting two cables from the hard drive and removing 4 screws holding down the hard drive.
- Using your PC, make a ghost copy (image to image copy) of the old hard drive to a new hard drive. For instruction on how to ghost copy (image to image copy) please search the Internet. There are thousands of listings available with instructions and programs. During ghost copy, you can adjust the spaces allocated for C: and D: partitions. In general, C: should stay small just to contain Windows system and JB-199 program files, and D: should hold most of the available space for the song files.
- Connect the new hard drive into JB-199 and close the cover. Boot up and you should be all ready to go.
- Note: Some old JB-199 players have only one partition C: and in that case, you need not think about the dividing of hard drive into multiple partitions. Also check the old hard drive to determine whether it is IDE or SATA type before getting a new one. The new hard drive should be of the same type.
The service of replacing the hard drive for JB-199 is provided by CAVS. Please send your request and fee inquiry to service@cavsusa.net.
When using MCG Manager (lower than version 1.0.25), you may experience some problem to transfer a MP3 file without its matching MCG file into an external hard drive. Please upgrade to the latest version of MCG Manager
Also please find attached here a MCG file that will go as a matching file for any MP3 file. Please download, rename it to match the MP3 file, and transfer them (MCG and MP3 files) together as if you would for a karaoke song. The MCG file will display \”ENJOY MUSIC\” message during the song.
Â
There are two cases to consider:
If the new JB-199 unit came with its own hard drive, which means the Windows XP and JB-199 program are already installed, then you only need to copy the \”Songs\” folder that is in D: drive of your current JB-199 unit to the D: drive in your new unit. If there is Songs folder already in D: drive of your new JB-199 unit, just overwrite (replace) it. The Songs folder can be first copied onto an external hard drive or flash drive from the current unit and then copied into the unit. The song numbers and list will also copy over to the new unit and stay the same.
For some JB-199, the \”Songs\” folder is located in C: drive under NJB99 folder. Copy the folder to the D: drive as before in the new JB-199.
If the new JB-199 unit did not come with its own hard drive, so it did not come with Windows XP and JB-199 program, then you need to first load Windows XP and JB-199 program into a new hard drive for use with your new JB-199 unit. Depending on the hardware configuration of the new JB-199 unit, this task can be challenging. Please contact CAVS USA Inc by sending email to techsupport@cavsusa.net.
For more details on copying the songs from one JB-199 to another, please go to the posting http://cavsusa.com/kb/index.php?action=artikel&cat=17&id=32&artlang=en
The hard drive for IPS-11G should be externally powered so that the power needed would not be drained from the IPS-11G unit. The size of the hard drive is recommended to be less than 250G so that the file structure of the hard drive will not overload the built-in memory of IPS-11G unit when connected.
We have in our office 160G and 250G hard drives that can be made external with iMicro external cases. The problem of compatibility does not come from hard drives but from the external cases. Finding a right case can be difficult and that is why we only use one type of iMicro cases which we tested (this does not mean all iMicro cases will work).
Please read the User’s Manual of IPS-11G for the limitation on the number song files that can be loaded in a hard drive for play.Â
When using MCG Manager (lower than version 1.0.25), you may experience some problem to transfer a MP3 file without its matching MCG file into an external hard drive. Please upgrade to the latest version of MCG Manager
Also please find attached here a MCG file that will go as a matching file for any MP3 file. Please download, rename it to match the MP3 file, and transfer them (MCG and MP3 files) together as if you would for a karaoke song. The MCG file will display \”ENJOY MUSIC\” message during the song.
The answer to this question depends on what player you are using.
- For use in CAVS JB-199 players
Any JB-199 player can extract the Super CD+G discs and insert the songs into JB-199 players in the number slots that you wish. The task requires an external DVD disc drive to be attached to JB-199 and following instruction on the User’s Manual of JB-199. No other program is needed.
- For use in CAVS 105G USB, 203G USB or 305G USB player
To use with any of above CAVS DVD USB players, you only need to copy the content of the Super CD+G disc into an external hard drive (formatted FAT32).  So you need a DVD disc drive (internal or external) attached to your PC and the external hard drive (formatted FAT32). Simply copy the folder CAVS_MCG inside the Super CD+G disc into the external hard drive.  No other program is needed. After the copy, be sure to rename the CAVS_MCG folder inside the external hard drive. Otherwise, the CAVS DVD USB player will automatically play only that Super CD+G disc when the external hard drive is connected. Note that all song numbers and order will be same in the external hard drive as the disc, so the song books for Super CD+G discs can be used.
- For use in PC karaoke pogram PlayCDG SP and KJ Deluxe
The Super CD+G discs (the discs themselves) have to be inserted into the DVD disc drive for the PC karaoke software to play. There is no extraction program to copy the contents of the Super CD+G discs into the PC hard drive (or an extrenal hard drive) so that a PC karaoke software can play from the hard drive.
-
For use in PC karaoke program PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT
To use with the program PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT, simply copy the folder CAVS_MCG inside a Super CD+G disc onto a hard drive. After the copy, be sure to rename the copied folder CAVS_MCG to another name (such as SCDG01). The hard drive can be internal or external, and it does not need to be formatted FAT32. Using the Playlist in the PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT program, you can load the songs from the Super CD+G disc individually or in groups, and also mix the songs across other Super CD+G discs or any other sources of songs, such CD+G discs.
-
For use in CAVS Karaoke Laptop players PR101, PO101, EC101, CO101, or TB101
To use with CAVS Karaoke Laptop players, simply copy the folder CAVS_MCG inside a Super CD+G disc onto a hard drive. After the copy, be sure to rename the copied folder CAVS_MCG to another name (such as SCDG01). The hard drive can be internal or external, and it does not need to be formatted FAT32. Using the Playlist in the Laptop player, you can load the songs from the Super CD+G disc individually or in groups, and also mix the songs across other Super CD+G discs or any other sources of songs, such CD+G discs.

Please take care to go to the correct page for your JB-199 (Type I or II, Regular or Premier, etc.). Then in the webpage, please upgrade your JB-199 player with the latest program using the full version. Also remove the existing version of JB-199 Manager program in your JB-199 player, and download and install the latest version of JB-199 Manager program from the same webpage. Having upgraded to the latest version of JB-199 program and JB-199 Manager program, your unit is now free of any trouble from the LCD status. LCD may or may not go out, but it will not interfere with your JB-199 operation. If you decide to replace the flickering LCD, you need to order a new front board for JB-199. The front board is same for all JB-199 player. Please email or call to our sales office for the replacement.  Thanks, Tech SupportCAVS USA
Currently we are working on a bug that will not let you add more CD (non-karaoke) songs to a target folder in the external hard drive that has only the CD (non-karaoke) songs and is converted (by pressing the CONVERT button) to _songs folder.Â
So if you already have CD (non-karaoke) songs in a folder of an external hard drive and the folder is converted (by pressing the CONVERT button), it is not possible for you to pree MODIFY button to bring up the song files on the target side in order to add more songs.
A temporary measure is to add at least one karaoke song (MP3 and MCG file) in the folder of the external drive before converting. Then pressing the MODIFY button will bring up the song files (both non-karaoke and karaoke) on the target side without problem for adding new songs.
New version of MCG Manager with the bug fixed will be uploaded shortly Â
To change the size of the player the resolution can be adjusted. However before you make this change make sure that your computer and your monitor can support a resolution of 640X480.Â
To change the resolution right click on the program icon and go to properties. Under the compatibility tap select \”run in 640X480 screen resolution\” and apply the changes. The next time you run the player it will be displayed about 50% bigger.
To record the singer you must first connect a cable from your receiver/amplifier to the audio in jacks in the back of JB-199. Once the cable is connected press record in your remote to select recording standby. The songs will be recorded individually until the recording standby is turn off. To play back the recorded tracks turn off the recording standby and select the track you want to play starting with number 99901 and above. The recorded tracks can be burn to a cd by going to menu/disc recording.
New songs can be added from CDG disc or songs can be dowloaded from the internet.
Try reading those two discs using any other CD Recordable drive and MCG Manager. Â
After preparing the external hard drive with MCG Manager, you will get a song list file, juke.txt, in the external hard drive.Â
Simply copy the file over to your PC and open it with Excel.Â
Be sure to start the Excel program first and then open the juke.txt file. When loading the file into Excel, you will have to change the \”Files of type\” to \”All file(*.*)\” to see and open the song list file.Â
The Text Import Wizard will then appear. Be sure to select \”Delimited\” and click on \”NEXT>\”. In the next screen, select \”Other\” and type in the delimiter value \”|\”. Press \”Finish\”.
The song list should now be opened with number, title, and singer name in separate columns.  You can sort the list by number, title, or singer name and print as you wish.
Unfortunately, the list of compatible hard drives (What are the recommended hard drives for CAVS DVD/USB Karaoke Players?)Â we have is very limited compared to available hard drives in the market.
In order to avoid any hassle, we recommend purchasing USB hard drive directly from us.
Otherwise, if you decide to purchase from a computer store please read the following:
1. Purchase hard drive from a store with flexible return or exchange policy since there is a great possibility that you might not find compatible hard drive in your first try.
2. Formatted the external hard drive with FAT32. Refer to the instruction in FAT32 formatting: How do I format my hard drive to FAT32?
3. Copy any MP3 file to the new hard drive using your PC.
4. Connect hard drive to your CAVS USBÂ player and first turn on CAVS player.
5. Once CAVS logo is displayed on the TV, turn on external hard drive.
6. CAVS USB player should start reading from the hard drive. If compatible, MP3 file should be displayed on the TV. Otherwise, press D/U from CAVS remote to move to USB device.
7. If step 6 is failed, turn off the hard drive, wait for 10 secs, and turn back on.
8. Repeat from step 6 2 to 3 times.
9. If hard drive is still not detected, it means the hard drive is not compatible.

Unlike CDG discs, SCDGÂ discs when transferred on to a USB hard drive (for CAVS USB players) must be in separate folders.
Each SCDG disc requires its own folder inside the USB hard drive.  CDG discs can be merged into one single folder. Â
Please refer to the following link for the descriptions of INX and INX2: http://www.cavsusa.com/inx_help.htm
In this case, it is common that the video cable is not properly connected.
Please review the rear panel of the player and verify that the yellow colored video cable (composite) is connected to the player’s Video Out (also yellow colored) RCA jack.
If you are using component video, please go to setup -> preferences -> video output and change the setting accordingly.Â

Since the first release of JB-199, there have been considerable changes in the main board, CPU, RAM, graphic card, and Rear board of JB-199. The changes are not only in terms of speed and capacity but also in the hardware settings. So, JB-199 after it first design in 2005, was changed to JB-199 II (ver II) in 2008. The new JB-199 II has faster main board, faster CPU, higher capacity RAM, faster graphic card, and more functional Rear board. The original JB-199 is no longer available.
There are two types of upgrading of JB-199.Â
-
First is the upgrading of a regular unit with a single screen to a premier unit with dual screens. This upgrade is called Dual Screen Upgrade. It can be done for both JB-199 and JB-199 II.
-
Second is the upgrading of JB-199 to JB-199 II. This upgrade is done at CAVS by replacing just about all internal parts of JB-199 to the newer components.
For your inquiry of upgrade, please contact service@cavsusa.net.
For the songs, they are same and interchangable between JB-199 and JB-199 II. For instruction on transfering files between JB-199 players, see the posting http://cavsusa.com/kb/index.php?action=artikel&cat=17&id=32&artlang=en  Â
When a Super CD+G disc is inserted into a DVD disc drive of a PC, it will automatically start PlaySCDG program that will play the disc in PC. The PlaySCDG program, if not found inside the disc, can be downloaded from http://cavsusa.com/scdg/PlaySCDG.zip
For the instruction on how to operate the PlaySCDG program, please go to http://cavsusa.com/scdg_pc.htm#Download_SÂ
First turn on the Karaoke Mode (Karaoke ON) by pressing MIC ON button on the remote control.
Next start playing a song from CD+G or SCDG disc.
Press the A-B button on the top of the remote control to turn on the Score Function (Score ON).Â
An unknown error might had occurred during the rebuild, and if most of songs were deleted, go to TRASH and there should be a folder called _BUILD and which contains those deleted songs files.  Right click on folder and choose to restore. Then go back to song library folder inside USB Hard Drive, and double click to open _BUILD folder. Copy the songs files and paste those into _Songs folder.Â
Are the Super CD+G discs factory made? Home made discs have only 70% readability of the the factory ones. So when making a home made Super CD+G disc or copying a factory made disc, be sure to burn (write) them in slow speed.
Also please check the bottom side of the Super CD+G disc for any damages. We have recently found some Super CD+G discs in the market that have defective coating on the bottom which makes them difficult to read. In such cases, the Super CD+G players will take longer than usual time to recognize the discs or simply give up with NO DISC sign.
Another point to remember when using Super CD+G disc is that after pressing a song number, please wait to see the title of the song appear on the screen before pressing PLAY.
Dear Customer
Dear Customer
How can I raise, lower, or balance the volume of my microphone and the music playing from my 202G?
There is no separate music volume control for the 202G player (unlike the 105, 203, & 305 players). To balance the volume you will need to acquire a mixer with which you can connect the 202G player and microphone, then send the output of the mixer to your audio system/speakers. You may then control the volume of the microphone(s) and 202G’s music independently.
For your singing pleasure, even at home, we recommend that you purchase a mixer for much better results.
First, your PC should booted in DOS operating system, not Windows. Otherwise you will ruin the hard drive and it will not work with JB-99.
The problem is due to a duplicate songs folder in JB-199.
To fix the problem you need to run a search for all songs folders in JB-199. You should find more than one songs folder. Open all folders one by one and rename any empty song folder to anything else. You should end up with only one songs folder which should have your songs. Restart the player and the problem should be fixed.
JB-199 II has a counter inside MENU > 1.Jukebox > Counter. The counter can be reset to 0 at any time and it will display how many songs have been played since the last reset.  Songs that have played more than 10 seconds will be counted in the Counter.
No, the differance is as follows.
CD+G
- Capacity of 10-30 songs
- Made on a regular CD disc
- Recorded in BIN file format
Super CD+G
- Capacity of 1,500+ songs
- Made on a dual layer DVD
- Recorded in .dat file format
- Also play in any WINDOWS based PC
- Built-in search function for songs
- For INX2 version, has motion picture background video
To make a data cd all cd files or cdg discs have to be converted into MCG format with our free program MCG manager. Following the instructions on MCG manger will result in 2 files per song and one juke.txt, english.inx, and sdcfg file. Copy the MP3, MCG and juke.txt files only into the root of a cd or flash drive. To transfer the songs into JB-199 go to menu/download/download songs. After the songs have finish downloading go to menu/jukebox/register songs.

NCG is the register JB-199 file. The NCG file is created when MCG songs are loaded to JB-199 and register. NCG songs will only work on JB-199 II or in the original JB-199 in which the NCG file was created. Once a song is in NCG format it can not be reverse to MCG or CDG format.
Please note that most of CAVS Karaoke players support both MCG and CDG formats. The latest CAVS Karaoke Laptops and PlayCDG KJ Deluxe 64 LT player support CDG, MCG, NCG, ZIP, AVI, WMV, Super CD+G, etc.
To convert MP3 + CDG files to MP3 + MCG files, you can use the Encoder MCG or MCG Manager program.
To convert MP3 + MCG files to MP3 + CDG files, you can use the Decoder CDG program to convert the MP3 + CDG files to BIN files first. Then from BIN files, you can use any generic extraction program such as MP3GToolz, Audiograbber, or Power CDG burner,etc. to convert the BIN files to CDG files. These generic programs can be found in the Internet under Yahoo or Google.

There are several things that can cause this problem.
1. There is additional software running in the background. This is especially true if extra software has been installed in the player. Because any additional program takes extra resources from the player, the player can freeze if all resources are being used. To fix this problem disable all non necessary programs from running (the only programs needed for JB-199 are \”startup\” and \”FTP server\”  in the system configuration utility ( start/run/msconfig/startup )
2. The player is overheating. Especially if the player is inside a case with other players. Remove the player from the case to test for this possibility.
3. The player is going into puase mode. This would be caused if the player is receiving a signal ( the signal does not have to come from a remote, many other things can send out infrared signals) that it interprets as a puase command. When the player freezes look at the status LCD in the front of JB-199. If the status has changed from play to pause then this is your problem. Reposition the player or cover the remote reciver ( below the LCD ) with black tape to fix this problem.
3. The hard drive needs to be defragmented and checked for errors ( especially if your player is several years old ) . If you have a back up hard drive use it to test for this problem. Â
4. The player has collected excessive dust over the years. With the player off and all cables unplug, remove the top cover and blow out all dust inside with a compress air cleaner. ( MAKE SURE TO WAIT 15 MINUTES AFTER CLEANING THE UNIT TO TURN IT ON )
Â

This typically means that you have invalid characters in that particular song. (For instance, latin letters in Spanish songs). Here are the steps to resolve such an issue:
- How do I make sure my juke.txt file is properly formatted?
- How can I create an INX menu, Address.inx and English.inx?
*required for changes to your juke.txt file to take effect.
Note: If this problem occurs on SuperCDGs the issue is the same and you have to recreate the SuperCDG with a properly formatted juke.txt file using step 1 from above.
To back up the player you will need a second hard drive and a cloning software. The cloning process will vary based on the software you use. Most hard drive manufactures have free cloning software on their websites. We recommend maxtor brand hard drive and their free software maxblast 5.
To play a cdg disc load your cd in the cd drive and select disc drive on your kj panel, front panel, or remote to select the song you want to play. Whenever switching between discs you have to ALWAYS use the open/close button on the remote or kj panel to open/close the cd drive.

| Now you can transfer songs from SCDG discs and put onto JB-199 and play those songs from the HD. No more inserting discs and waiting for the disc to load. Just use Disc Caputre option as using a CDG disc and transfer songs from SCDG disc to JB199’s HD.
Go to JB-199’s website and download the newest firmware for upgrade. |
All the instructions and information are on an older page: http://www.cavsusa.com/pd4/
This is a really rough estimate assuming that every songs is roughly 5 mb.
Hard Drive Size(GB) = Song Capacity
80 = 16000
100 = 20000
160 = 32000
250 = 50000
320 = 64000
400 = 80000
500 = 100000
Note: As you can see, even with the recommnded 250GB hard drive you’ll be able to fit about 50,000 songs more than needed by most KJ’s.
We have rackears for the 203G and 203G USB models located here (http://cavsusa.com/product/H_player/rack_ear.htm) but for the 105G and 105G USB you’ll need a rackmount shelf. You may find them online or at any pro audio shop.
This error can be due to a few things, such as operating systems, user rights, or interference from other software. To successfully play Super CD+G discs, install the new PlaySCDG program software that you can download from http://cavsusa.com/scdg_pc.htm#Download_S. Be sure to close the windows of the old version of PlaySCDG that comes up when you insert a Super CD+G disc into your disc drive and use the newly installed PlaySCDG to play the Super CD+G disc.

There may be two possibilities for this unit:
1. The discs are of low quality/bootlegs/defective.
**Especially if there are certain discs and/or tracks thatperform better than others.
**Note: There are many very good copycat bootlegs thatlook just like the original.
2. The player is defective.
**If the unit is defective it will most likely haveproblems reading regular commercial DVD movies.
**It will not depend on what track it is.
TO DETERMINE/TROUBLESHOOT:
-Insert a regular commercial DVD movie and watch itcompletely.
–If it freezes, it is most likely a defective player.
–Otherwise, the Super CD+G discs are defective.
-Insert the CAVS 200 Song Sampler Disc if it came withthe player.

- When copying is complete, use your favorite software to write to a blank disc the copied content.
2. Predefined Methods offered in Various Disc Writing Software
Brief Description: You may use a predefined feature of making a backup copy of a disc offered in many disc writing software.
- Use your favorite backup software like: Nero, Alcohol, Roxi etc.
- Follow the software tutorials on making backups of your disc
NOTE: DO NOT BOOT YOUR HARD DRIVE THROUGH WINDOWS. (It will not be readeable by your JB-99 afterwards)
In order to succesfully make a backup HD using Norton Ghost (we have teseted Norton Ghost v6, v7, v2003), do the following:
1) Using options from Norton Ghost, create a bootable floppy disc using MS DOS and not PC DOS.
2) Connect JB99’s HD and a blank HD to your PC.
*Make sure that you know which one is connected to Master or to Slave, and to Primary or to Seconday.
3) Using bootup disc, start your PC.
4) Ghost should start automatically.
5) Go to Options and check the option below.
span(Spanning) = N
autoname(AutoName) = N
crcignore(CRC Ignore) = N
fcr(Create CRC32) = N
f32(FAT32 Conversion) = N
f64(64K FAT Clusters) = N
fatlimit(FAT Limit) = N
fnw(Disable writing) = N
sure(Sure) = N
fro(Force Cloning) = Y
rb(Reboot) = N
fx(Exit to DOS) = N
defaultImg(Default) = N
ia(Image All) = N
ib(Image Boot) = N
id(Image Disk) = Y
defaultTape(Default) = Y
tapesafe(Tape Safe) = N
tapebuffered(Tape Buffered) = N
tapeunbuffered(Tape Unbuffered) = N
tapeeject(Tape Eject) = N
ffx(UseExtINT13) = Y
fnx(DisableExtINT13) = N
ffi(DirectIDE) = Y
fni(DisableDirectIDE) = N
ffs(DirectASPI/SCSI) = N
fns(DisableDirectASPI/SCSI) = Y
6)Check the source and target HD to start the backup.
Yes, songs from one JB-199 or JB-199 ver II (hereafter called together as JB-199) can be transferred to and played on another JB-199.
- There is a folder called \”Songs\” that contains all the song files in a JB-199. The folder is usually in the D:\ partition under the root folder, but sometimes in the C:\ partition under NJB99 folder (depending on when the JB-199 was issued).
- Copy/Transfer the folder \”Songs\” in the old JB-199 to the new JB-199 whereever the \”Songs\” folders are. This copy/transfer operation should be done under Windows after exiting out of the JB-199 program.  A common way is to copy the \”Songs\” folder from the old JB-199 onto an external hard drive via USB connection and then copy from the external hard drive to the new JB-199. The new JB-199 will have a \”Songs\” folder of its own already, and assuming that the new JB-199 is empty or has no songs of interest, you can overwrite the exsting \”Songs\” folder in the new JB-199.
- After the copy/transfer is complete, start the JB-199 program in the new JB-199 and play the songs in the new JB-199. The songs will be same as the old JB-199 except the lyrics will not show. Go to MENU > 5.System Control > 9.NCG File Protection and turn off the NCG File Protection. Then play the songs again and you will see the lyrics on the screen.Â
- If you do not find 9.NCG File Protection category in the new JB-199, then you need to upgrade the JB-199 program in the new JB-199 by going to www.cavsusa.com website and downloading the latest version of JB-199 program (the full version). The instruction for upgrading can be found in the website. Please be sure to go to the correct webpage for your new JB-199, as there are a few different types of JB-199 players.
- If the \”Songs\” folder in the new JB-199 alreasy contains songs that you would like to keep, then you must copy/transfer the \”Songs\” folder from the old JB-199 to the new JB-199 using the JB-199 Manager program. The copy/transfer operation has to be performed under the JB-199 Manager program for each of the sub-folders (JBXXXXXX) inside the \”Songs\” folder of the old JB-199. The instruction for using JB-199 Manager program is in the program under HELP button. Please note that when using the JB-199 Manager program to transfer the songs in a sub-folder, JBXXXXXX, you must rename a file JBXXXXXX.txt inside the sub-folder to juke.txt first. That will enable the JB-199 Manager program to bring up all the titles and artists of the songs. Also please note that after the copy/transfer is complete, the song list of the new JB-199 will be different from the song list of the old JB-199.
 Â
That problem can be due to 3 reasons:
- The quality of the discs are beyond readable.
- The disc manufacture might have used encryption methods.
- The disc drive is not reading the discs in the needed fashion to perform the extraction.
What you would want to do is try other discs from other manufactures. If those work then it is likely that the problem is #2 from the list above.
Another thing to note is that your computer has to be able to read the disc before MCG Manager can. To see whether it has, go to “My computer†and look at the drive that has the disc in it. It should state “Audio CD†and if you go into the drive itself, by right-clicking on the disc drive and selecting Explore, you should normally see the tracks listed. If you do not see the tracks, then your computer cannot read the disc and therefore neither will the MCG Manager program.
There are two methods:
- JB Manager (Slower/Less Technical)
- Â Follow the instructions located here: http://cavsusa.com/product/H_player/jb99.htm#upgrade
- IDE Transfer (Faster/More Technical)
- Follow the instructions located here: http://cavsusa.com/product/H_player/jb99.htm#IDE%20Transfer%20Instruction
- FOR DOS BOOT DISKETTE USE:Â
- http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/dos.html
- click Automatic Boot Disk
- and Download Dos6.22.exe
Note: Songs might be encrypted and might not be usable by any PC software. The only way to find out is by transfering one song and testing it. If no graphics show up then it will infact be encrypted.
1. The most important thing you need is a juke.txt file that is COMPLETE.
2. Create a new folder inside the folder you currently have all the songs and name it _Songs exactly(case sensitive and must have underscore)
3. Cut/Paste all of your MCG and MP3 files into the new folder(_Songs)
4. You should have only something like this:
| Figure 1 |
\"Drive Letter\"...|...|__\"Main Folder\"..........|_\"_Songs\"..........|Â Â Â |_00001.mp3(per song)..........|Â Â Â |_00001.mcg(per song)..........|..........|_\"juke.txt\"..........|_\"english.inx\"(not required)
|
5. Bundled with the MCG Manager came a program called INXMaker.
(Start -> All Programs -> CAVS -> MCG Manager -> INXMaker)
6. Open that program (Index Make)
7. Under read file click Browse and select the juke.txt that is inside the folder we are working on and press Open.
8. Check the box that says \”write file in same folder\” and click CONVERT
9. If you get an error please read the results.txt file and it will state in what \”row\” the error was found.
10. Open the juke.txt file and examine the rows around where the error occured and fix it.
11. Save the juke.txt file
12. Try again and keep doing this until it proceeds past the error.
13. Depending on how many songs are inside the folder it might takeanywhere from a couple minutes to a couple hours. It might freeze butbe a sure that it will still be working in the background so please bepatient.
14. A new file would have been created if successful.(Address.inx)
15. The outcome should look something like this.

All brands of hard drives are standarized and very generic. CAVS DVD Karaoke players are compatible to most, if not all,of the brands.
However the USB external cases that encloses the hard drives are not standarized in any sense.  There are many different manufacturers and it is hit-and-miss dealing with them for the compatibility to CAVS DVD Karaoke players.
We are currently using the following hard drives:
- All hard drives enclosed in iMicro USB External cases
- Seagate Free Agent
- Iomega Silver Series
We recommend avoiding the hard drives of following specifications:
- Over 1 TB (we have successfully tested only up to 1 TB)
- Additional functions (such as 1-touch Backup, Power saver)
- No self power supply (for 60GB or more)
Note: Compatible USB external hard drives (250GB, 500GB, 750GB, 1TB) can also be purchased at CAVS USA Inc. Please contact sales@cavsusa.net.Â
You will need the following to insert regular CD+G discs onto an external hard drive.
- A Computer with:
…a DVD-ROM drive.
…our MCG Manager installed. - An External Hard drive.
*Certain specs must be met please view them before purchasing a hard drive.
*Specs: What are the recommended hard drives for CAVS DVD/USB Karaoke Players? - The CD+Gs you want to rip.
