If the steps above fails to connect your phone or tablet to the Songbook, try the following ways to troubleshoot the connection.

1. After setting the Wi-Fi connection of the phone or tablet to “CAVS Network”, open a browser and navigate to the URL address “http://192.168.0.100:3500” by typing in.
2. Restart the router and the CAVS 205G Plus player. First restart the router and then restart the CAVS 205G Plus player.

For the CAVS 205G Plus player, follow the steps below to setup the network for your phone or tablet.

• Connect the Wi-Fi router to a wall outlet using its power cable. The router will power on.
• Connect the CAVS 205G Plus player to a TV using a HDMI or RCA AV cable. Plug in the CAVS 205G Plus player to a wall outlet using its power adapter. Press the power button to power on the player.
• Insert a USB flash drive or SD card with song files (produced using the MCG Manager) into their respective slots in the 205G Plus player. Confirm the appearance of “Select Songs” message on the TV.

For each folder inside a device such as a flash drive, SD card, or a external hard drive, there can be maximum 65,536 files for use with CAVS 205G player due to the required FAT32 format. Given that there are two files (MP3 and CDG) for each song, this implies a physical limit of 32,768 songs per folder.

You may also want to divide out the song files into multiple folders not necessarily due to the maximum limit but for better organization, such as to folders of songs for 90’s, 80’s, Pop, Rock, etc.

This instruction shows how to name the multiple folders such that you can easily select a song across folders, changing from one folder to another.

END

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Given an USB flash drive, USB hard drive, or SD card that is made by MCG Manager for CAVS 205G USB Karaoke Machine and works fine playing the songs, how do we make a copy of it to another USB flash drive, USB hard drive or SD card?

From henceforth, we call an USB flash drive, USB hard drive, or SD card as an external drive.

1. Be sure that the new external drive is formatted FAT32.
2. Connect both the old and new external drives to a PC.
3. Copy all the files and folders in the old external drive to the new external drive.
4. Start the MCG Manager program and select the new external drive as the TARGET. The songs inside the new external drive will appear in the right side window.
5. Click on the Save button. The MCG Manager program will begin to reset song files in the new external drive.
6. When done, the new external drive is ready for use with the CAVS 205G USB Karaoke Machine and can be disconnected from the PC.

CAVS Remote Controller (for JB-199 mini and JB-199 mini pro) is a Wi-Fi 2.4 Ghz device that has a dual function of being a wireless mouse for the CAVS karaoke players. It means that the remote controller can be communicating with the karaoke player although no button is actually being pressed. This can lead to battery draining faster than expected.

To turn off the wireless mouse feature, press the red cursor button located below the circular button at the center. Confirm that a physical movement of the remote controller does not move the screen cursor of the karaoke player. Note that the turning off the cursor will not interfere with the normal use of the remote controller for selecting and playing songs.

To turn on the wireless mouse feature, press the red cursor button again.

This instruction shows how to enable or disable the CAVS Karaoke player to have a static IP address in a local network.
The setting is as follows:
• 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.
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 across power cycle.
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 the 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.

A. Enable a static IP address in local network

Open the playlist in ‘My Server’ or in a playlist slot (1 – 10).
Highlight/mark the song (or all songs) that you wish to change the song numbers of. You can use a single click to select a single song, single click followed by Control-Clicks for additional songs, or use Click followed by Shift-Click for multiple songs.
Right click on the highlighted song(s) and you will see a popup menu with following choices.

• Index – Index all the songs as currently listed starting from 1 and sequentially thereafter.
• Index with Start Number – For a highlighted song, index it with a start number inserted and sequentially thereafter.
• Index with Filename – For all highlighted songs, index with filenames that are numerical, such as the song files in old JB-199 I or II.

Only the above three methods are allowed for renumbering the songs. Manual editing individual song numbers are not allowed for possible user errors.

This instruction shows the most common causes of no audio problem in CAVS karaoke player.
The setting is as follows:
• 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.
When experiencing no audio, check the following settings:
1. In the control panel of the karaoke program, go to Tools > Settings and set the ‘Sound’ to “Primary Sound Driver”.
2. 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.
3. In the Windows, go to Start > Settings > System > Sound and set the ‘Output’ to ‘Speakers (Realtek® Audio)’.

E-Songbook receives the song list from the connected karaoke player. And if “My Server” in the karaoke player is empty (not loaded with a song list), E-Songbook will receive nothing and will show nothing under Title, Artist, or Index buttons.

Go to the Control Panel of the karaoke player. In the bottom left section, highlight “My Server”. The currently loaded song list will appear on the bottom right section. And because it is empty, the bottom right section will be empty.

Next in the bottom right section and click on the “Load” button to load a song list. Select a song list which is likely “Master Playlist” or “Master Library”.

After loading the song list, click on the X mark at the top right corner to close the karaoke program. Power down the karaoke player. Restart the player and the karaoke program will start with the “My Server” loaded. Test the E-Songbook for proper operation.

Above instruction is assuming that the E-Songbook is properly connected to the karaoke player via Wi-Fi.

Also if the song list you are loading into “My Server” is named other than “Master Playlist”, consider renaming the song list as “Master Playlist” and loading it as “Master Playlist” into “My Server”. This is because the karaoke program, when “My Server” is empty, is designed to automatically look for “Master Playlist” and load it into “My Server”.
