PHILIPS Music System Software Information Update
2.01 Release
04/21/95
1. SOFTWARE PACKAGE CONTENTS
The PHILIPS Music System software package contains two 3.5"
1.44MB diskettes for installing/uninstalling DOS/Windows
drivers, utilities and applications.
2. INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The installation program SETUP.EXE copies the necessary
files from the installation diskettes unto your hard disk
or removes the installed files when you wish to do so.
Perform the following steps to install or uninstall the
software:
(Assuming you are using floppy drive A, and you wish to
install the software to C:\MUSICSYS.)
1. Place the diskette labeled "PCA70SB Setup Disk 1" in
Drive A.
2. Type "a:" and press ENTER to change to Drive A.
3. Type "setup" and press ENTER.
4. Click OK on the "Welcome to PHILIPS Music System Setup"
screen.
5. Choose "Install PHILIPS Music System software" or
"Uninstall PHILIPS Music System software" to start the
corresponding process.
The installation process does the following for you:
a.) Creates the directory \MUSICSYS on your hard disk drive.
b.) Sets up the initial audio card and CD-ROM configurations,
so that after you have finished the installation and
rebooted your machine, you will be ready to use the
PHILIPS Music System.
c.) Copies the files on your floppy disk to the \MUSICSYS
directory and Windows directory respectively.
d.) Updates your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and SYSTEM.INI
files.
e.) Creates a PHILIPS Music System program group in Windows,
if you have selected "Windows Drivers and Applications"
for installation.
In CONFIG.SYS, the following command lines will be added:
(Assuming the IDE interface of the PCA70SB Audio Card is
enabled, and the selected CD-ROM drive model is PCA20CR.)
DEVICE=C:\MUSICSYS\CDIFINIT.SYS /T:I
DEVICE=C:\MUSICSYS\CDROM\VIDE_CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001
Note: If the IDE interface of the audio card is disabled,
"/T:X will appear at the end of the first command
line instead of "/T:I."
In AUTOEXEC.BAT, the following command lines will be added:
PATH=%PATH%;C:\MUSICSYS
SET SOUND16=C:\MUSICSYS
C:\MUSICSYS\SNDINIT /B
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
C:\MUSICSYS\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:12 /V
Note: The last command line here is added only if you
selected "CD-ROM Driver" for installation on the
software selection screen, "PHILIPS Music System
Software Components."
In SYSTEM.INI, the following command lines will be added:
[drivers]
WAVE=CS31BA11.DRV
AUX=CS31BA11.DRV
MIXER=CS31BA11.DRV
MIDI=OPL3.DRV
MIDI1=MPU401P.DRV
[386Enh]
DEVICE=VSNDSYS.386
In addition, "MSMIXMGR.DLL" will be appended to the
"DRIVERS=..." command line in the [boot] section, and
a new section called [SNDSYS.DRV] will be created in
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
The uninstallation process, on the contrary, will remove
the above configurations from these files.
3. PHILIPS MUSIC SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
The complete PHILIPS Music System contains DOS audio CD
player and mixer programs as well as four Windows-based
applications: Audio Input, Audio Mixer, Audio Transport
and Music Center. Please refer to the user's manual for
details of their features and usage methods.
4. HARDWARE RECONFIGURATION
To reconfigure the hardware settings, you can use one of the
two methods below:
1) Run the setup program under C:\MUSICSYS and select
"Reconfigure hardware settings" on the Setup Main Menu
to start the reconfiguration process.
2) Double click the "Hardware Settings" icon in the "PHILIPS
Music System" program group to start the reconfiguration
process. You can use this method only if you have
selected the "Windows Drivers and Applications" option
in your installation process.
5. OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
1) This version of the PCA70SB audio card supports only the
IDE CD-ROM interface and associated drivers. The built-
in CD-ROM driver is PHILIPS PCA20CR. If you are using
another IDE CD-ROM drive, e.g., PHILIPS PCA41CR, you need
to install the driver separately.
2) After the installation process is completed, the following
command line is automatically added to your CONFIG.SYS
file:
DEVICE=[drive:]\[directory]\CDIFINIT.SYS /T:[I/X]
where,
CDIFINIT.SYS = the CD-ROM interface initialization device
driver which allows your CD-ROM and audio
card to communicate with each other.
[drive] = drive where you have the driver installed
[directory] = directory where the driver is located
[I/X] = "I" means the PCA70SB audio card's IDE
interface is enabled (used).
"X" means the PCA70SB audio card's IDE
interface is disabled (not used).
The audio card's IDE interface being enabled or
disabled depends on whether you selected the PCA70SB
IDE connector or the system IDE connector on the
"Configure CD-ROM Drive" screen during your installation
process. For example, the following line indicates that
you have chosen to use the IDE interface provided by the PCA70SB
audio card:
DEVICE=C:\MUSICSYS\CDIFINIT.SYS /T:I
To change the IDE interface the CD-ROM drive uses, you
need to change the CONFIG.SYS by substituting the "I" or
"X" with its opposite ("X" or "I") in additional to the
physical connector change.
NOTE: This command line must be added BEFORE the CD-ROM
device driver line.
3) After the installation, the setup program automatically
adds "C:\MUSICSYS\SNDINIT /B" into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
This allows the automatic reinitialization of your audio
card and CD-ROM drive settings each time you start your PC
system.
WARNING: Do not attempt to run the program SNDINIT.EXE
outside of the autoexec.bat at any time. If
you change any hardware setting by running this
program without specifying the "/b" option,
operation problems may happen to your audio
card and CD-ROM drive.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
