1. Unpacking
The unit will come in two pieces, one carton box and one wooden crate.
The carton box includes:
TV monitor
The wooden crate includes:
JB-99RG
In the side pockets of JB-99RG:
Power cable
2 Keys
4 Screws
Songbook, Program CD-ROM, and Instruction sticker
2 Microphone hangers with 4 screws
In the back bottom compartment:
2 M-5 microphones
Remote Control
Manager’s kit: User’s Manual, Remote control, AV cable
Instruction sticker
FX cable
Swivel joint with 4 screws
Together they weigh 375lbs with dimensions 22” x 22” x 21” for the carton box
and 45” x 35” x 35” for the wooden crate. You are advised to have a forklift in the
receiving location to unload them from a truck.
1.1 To dismantle the wooden crate, use a screwdriver to take out the screws
from each side of the crate. Then using a crowbar, gently pry open the top
cover followed by four sidewalls. Next using the steel handles located on
three sides, lift the JB-99RG unit out of the bottom holder and gently place it
on the floor. Unlock the wheels on the bottom of the JB-99RG and roll the
unit into its place.

1.2 When transporting the unit without its wooden crate, it is best to do so in its
upright position. If a height restriction does not allow such positioning, then
lay down the unit on its backside, preferably on top of a soft carpet for easy
sliding and protection. Use cushions on both ends of the unit for a balance
against the steel handle on the backside.
2. Installation
2.1 TV monitor
2.1.1 Remove the upper steel plate on top of the JB-99RG by unscrewing 4 bolts.
2.1.2 Attach the upper steel plate to the bottom of the TV monitor with 4 screws
that came in a side pocket of JB-99RG. The upper steel plate is design to fit
the bottom of the TV monitor in only one way with the 4 screw holes in line
with the 4 screw holes of the TV bottom.
WARNING: Tightening the screws onto the bottom of the TV monitor should be
done delicately as the screws may tear out the plastic grooves on the bottom of the
TV monitor if too much force is used.
2.1.3 If you would like to have the TV monitor swivel on top of the JB-99RG
case, you can make it so using the optional swivel joint found in the back
bottom compartment. Using 4 screws, first attach the swivel joint to the
upper steel plate now attached to the bottom of the TV monitor. Then place
the TV monitor (with the swivel joint) on top of the lower steel plate located
on the JB-99RG case. Lock the swivel joint to the lower steel plate with
additional 4 screws.
2.1.4 To set the TV monitor without swivel movement, place the TV monitor on
top of the JB-99RG with the upper steel plate sitting on top of the lower steel
plate. Screw the 4 bolts into the steel plates locking the two pieces together.

11. Frequently Asked Questions
11.1 Can the JB-99RG unit be connected to more than one TV
monitor?
Answer: Yes, using a video distributor, the video cable coming out from the top of
the JB-99RG can be connected to 2 or more TV monitors simultaneously.
A video distributor can be purchased from CAVS or any electronic stores such as
Radio Shack.
11.2 Can the JB-99RG unit be connected to external speakers or
external audio system?

CAVS USA INC
18
Answer: Although the mixer-amplifier of the JB-99RG has additional speaker
connectors, it is strongly recommended not to connect any external speakers
directly to the mixer-amplifier as it may cause serious damage to the mixer-
amplifier and the speakers. A safer and better way is to connect from the Line Out
of the mixer-amplifier using an audio RC cable to an external amplifier, and then
connect the external speakers to the external amplifier.
To connect an audio RC cable to the Line Out of the mixer-amplifier, you will
need to open the front panel of the JB-99RG. Please contact the CAVS technical
support department before proceeding.
11.3 How can one learn more about all available functions of the JB-
99RG?
Answer: The main engine of the JB-99RG karaoke jukebox is the JB-99 digital
jukebox designed and manufactured by CAVS. To understand all functions and
flexibilities of the jukebox, please begin by reading the User’s Manual of JB-99
Digital Jukebox enclosed in your JB-99RG unit.
11.4 How can the previous credits be erased?
Answer: To erase the credit remaining in the JB-99RG, turn off and then on the bill
acceptor from the <<SYSTEM CONTROL>> window. Please note that turning
off and then on the JB-99RG unit will not erase the credit remaining.
