SD-Jukebox Features
SD-Jukebox is a software program for recording and managing music CDs on
your PC and transferring recorded tracks to an SD Memory Card so you can
enjoy the music on an SD Multi AV Device or an SD Audio Player.
Other features:
Edit titles, track order, and other information on your PC, and play tracks on
your PC.
You can choose the impression that fits your mood and Music Sommelier will
automatically select tracks that match the impression.
• Display album artwork or your preferred still images while listening to a track.
In cases where music information is registered at the CDDB site, information
such as album titles can be downloaded just by playing a music CD.
(In order to use CDDB function, you must set up an Internet connection for
your PC and establish separate contracts with individual service providers.)

Transferring data between a PC and SD Memory Card
Transferring a track (audio data) recorded on your PC to an SD Memory Card is
called "Checking out" the track. After checking out the track to your SD Memory
Card, you can listen to it on a device such as an SD Multi AV Device.
You can check out the audio data for a track up to three times. This limitation
was established to protect copyright.
Returning a track to your PC from an SD Memory Card is called "Checking in"
the track. After checking in the track, your PC increases the remaining check-out
count by one. You can also check out a returned track to other SD Memory
Cards.

Protecting data on an SD Memory Card
To prevent the risk of damaging the inside of an SD Memory Card or corrupting
the audio data so that it is unusable, wait until SD-Jukebox has completely
stopped processing or the Card Access lamp of SD Multi AV Device turns off
before you do any of these things:
• Attach or remove the SD Memory Card or the SD Multi AV Device
• Intentionally close SD-Jukebox or Windows
Intentionally turn off the PC (e.g., pull the power cord out of the power
outlet)
After check out, we recommend moving the write-
protect switch on the SD Memory Card to the LOCK
position. Unlock the switch when you want to do a
new check out or check in tracks.
Write-protect
switch
Attach the SD Memory Card to your SD Multi AV Device and then connect it to the PC
.
For connection details, consult your SD Multi AV Device user’s guide. See page
52 for instructions on removing the SD Memory Card.
You can also access the SD Memory Card through a connection with an optional
USB Reader/Writer for the SD Memory Card.
After you have correctly connected the SD Multi AV Device or USB
Reader/Writer, it will be identified as "USB Mass Storage Device" (in Windows
2000/XP) or "Panasonic Multi AV Device" (in Windows 98SE/Me) in the Device
Manager list.
For instructions on opening the Device Manager, refer to the Windows

Creating a playlist
You can use Music Sommelier to create a playlist
When you use SD-Jukebox to record tracks on your PC, Music Sommelier
automatically forms an impression of the track. The impressions can be
used as the basis for creating a playlist. You can create groups of tracks
for playlists that tend to give a certain impression by selecting the
impression instead of selecting the tracks individually.
You can also create random track groups by simply selecting patterns for track progression
.
Music Sommelier forms impressions about tracks based on their tempo,
beat, and other characteristics. The impression results are displayed in the
impression map organized by two axes. The activity axis ranges from quiet
to Active, and the emotive axis ranges from Mechanical to human. The
impression map shows various tracks as dots, and the positions of the
dots indicate the track impression.
The emotive axis

People form various impressions of tracks. It is conceivable that Music Sommelier
track selections will not necessarily suit your tastes.
It is possible to apply Music Sommelier to audio data besides tracks, for example,
to speech recordings. However, they might be registered beyond the range of the
impression map, which would prevent display.
Static and other recording elements can influence the impression formed by Music
Sommelier. Thus, if the same track is recorded twice, it may be shown in different
positions on the impression map.
