Compuhost KJ Media Pro HD

Creating a SongBook

1. First ensure the KJ Media Pro HD drive is properly connected.
2. Open the KJ Media Pro HD Setup/Configure dialog (CompuHost->Main Menu->KJ Media Pro HD->Configure/Manage KJ Media Pro HD)
3. Select "Advanced" from the menu at the top of the page.
4. Select "Export KJ Media Catalog for SongBook Printing"

This will create an industry standard CSV (Comma Separated Values) file

(KJMediaCatalog.csv) found in the CompuHost program folder (default:\Program Files\CompuHost). This file is formatted to be directly imported into FastTracks V2 Songbook Creator (sold separately) or most spreadsheet applications. The user is free to either import the listings into a separate"KJ Media Pro HD" SongBook, or import/merge the listings into an existing SongBook, thus combining their own content with the KJ Media Pro HD selections.

Users utilizing FastTracks V2 SongBook Creator should update their FastTracks V2 SongBook Creator to the latest revision (v.2.6.2232A) available from our support www.karaokeware.com/support.html . A minor formatting change was needed to ensure the KJ Media Pro HD Song IDs print properly.

The KJ Media Pro HD program utilizes a "Credit System", whereby credits are pre-purchased and deposited into an Online Account. Once purchased, these "Credits" are available to be withdrawn and used to "unlock" selections as needed.

Therefore, KJ Media Pro HD Credits are valuable, and should be managed responsibly, employing the same security precautions normally associated with monetary instruments (cash).

Before you're able to redeem (spend) credits, you'll need to make a "withdrawal" from your Online Account (refer to this as your "Bank"), and add them to your "locally stored credits" (refer to this as your "Wallet").

Again, as with cash, credits stored locally (wallet) are subject to loss, in this case due to theft (stolen computer), file corruption due to viruses, hardware failure etc.

IMPORTANT! End user assumes full responsibility for the security of all "locally stored credits" (wallet) once withdrawn from the Online Account (bank). This includes, but is not limited to credit(s) permanently lost due to theft, hardware failure, and failure to redeposit credits before performing major computer maintenance (reformat etc.).

So how do you limit your risk?

• Keep your credits in the bank (online account) until needed!
• Just as cash is typically much safer stored in a bank, so are your credits. Withdraw only as many credits as you anticipate needing, keeping the balance securely stored in your Online Account. Redeposit unused credits when possible.
• Secure your computer!
• Take appropriate precautions to ensure your computer is not lost due to theft, burglary etc.
• Don't leave it unattended.

Redeposit ALL locally stored credits (wallet) BEFORE performing major computer maintenance! (Reformat etc.)

Reformatting, or "wiping the drive" as it is commonly referred to, will also "wipe" your locally stored credits (wallet) clean, resulting in permanent loss. Therefore, be sure to redeposit ALL of your locally stored credits before performing any major computer maintenance.

Listen to your computer!

It's a proven fact that most catastrophic/unrecoverable computer failures could have been avoided simply by recognizing symptoms,

Therefore, if you start experiencing erratic system behavior, excessive noise etc., GET IT CHECKED OUT!

But first, REDEPOSIT YOUR LOCALLY STORED CREDITS!

Once your KJ Media Pro HD account is activated and you have withdrawn sufficient "credits" from your account, you're ready to start "redeeming" your credits for new song selections!

• Here you're provided with the "Credits Needed" to unlock the selection, along with how many "Local Credits" are available for use. 
• Be sure to review the selection (Title and Artist) to ensure it's the selection you wish to purchase (REMINDER: All purchases are FINAL, no refunds are offered for incorrect selections) 
• If you wish to purchase the selection by redeeming the applicable number of credits, click "Unlock Selection", otherwise click "No Thanks". 
• THAT'S IT! Your new selection will be unlocked, personalized with your KJ Media Pro HD Registration ID, placed in your designated storage folder, and cataloged within CompuHost for future use.
