HOW TO OPERATE
Preparing Song Files
1
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:
Title1 MP3
Title1 CDG (for CD+G disc only)
Title2 MP3
Title2 CDG (for CD+G disc only)
