Jukebox Power and Reset Switches
The Rock-Star Lx is powered from a standard
115VAC wall plug using the provided power cord.
Inside the jukebox, power is routed to a Power
Supply assembly located on the left-hand side of the
cabinet (see Figure 2-B). This power supply includes
a 15A circuit breaker and the Main Power ON/OFF
switch. All other components in the jukebox are
powered by plugging them into this power supply.
Soft Power Down
The core computer and other components in the
jukebox should remain powered up at all times.
However, there may be times when the jukebox
needs to be turned off so that customers cannot
insert money or make selections. The Soft Power
Down mode will give every outward appearance that
the jukebox is off by turning off the lights, the LCD
display, the bill acceptor(s), and the credit card
reader; however, the core computer and other
internal components remain powered up. There are
multiple ways to enter and exit this soft power down
mode:
•Power Button – The Power Button is located
on the outside lower-right corner on the back
of the cabinet (see Figure 1-B). Push this
button to enter the soft power down mode,
push it again to exit the soft power down
mode.
•Rowelink Controller Power Button – The
button labeled “POWER” on the Rowelink
Controller inside the jukebox (see Figure 1-B)
works in the same way as the Power Button
located on the back of the cabinet.
•IR Remote Control – The button labeled
“POWER” on the IR remote control
transmitter will also toggle the soft power
state just like the two buttons described
above.
Core Computer Power
The jukebox core computer can be powered off by
pressing the “SERVICE” button on the Rowelink
Controller (see Figure 1-B), and then touching
“Shutdown Jukebox” on the touchscreen. This will
turn off the core computer and other components that
get their power from the ATX power supply on the
core computer. To restore power after turning off the
ATX power supply, the jukebox must be rebooted.
Reboot the jukebox by toggling the Main Power
ON/OFF switch off (see Figure 2-B), and then back
on, or by pushing the ATX Reset Switch (see “Reset
Switches”).
Hard Power Down
When the jukebox power cord is unplugged or the
Main Power ON/OFF switch is turned off, the jukebox
is in the hard power down state. All power is
removed from all other components in the jukebox.
Reset Switches
There are also hidden reset switches located inside
the cabinet on the lower left side (see Figure 1-B).
These are accessible by either opening the jukebox
door, or by inserting a paper clip, toothpick, or other
long, thin object through the access holes on the left
side of the jukebox.
•The ATX Reset Switch resets the computer
core. It is the push-button located closest to
the rear of the jukebox (see Figure 1-B).
This is like the Reset Switch on a PC.
Pressing and releasing this switch will cause
the computer mainboard to completely
reboot. Use this switch only if the jukebox is
completely non-responsive.
•The Router Reset Switch resets the router
and, if wired for it, your modem. It is the
push-button located closest to the front of the
jukebox (see Figure 1-B). If the Internet
connection is lost for any reason, pressing
and releasing this push-button switch may
restore normal operation.

Wall Mounting Instructions
Choosing the Location
It is recommended that the jukebox be mounted to a
wall with the bottom approximately 35” to 36” up from
the floor. The wall must be strong and flat. The
jukebox should be visible and convenient to use. Do
NOT install directly above a radiator or other source
of heat. Be sure the speaker wires can be easily run
to the unit.
WARNING
The mounting of the jukebox on the wall
should be done by a qualified installer
familiar with wall construction and loading.
The wall and installation hardware MUST be
capable of supporting a 170 lb. load.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury.
For easier installation, the Rock-Star Lx is shipped
with the front door detached from the cabinet. After
mounting the cabinet, the front door is easily attached
to the cabinet.
Tools and hardware required for normal installation
into wood wall studs:
•Socket wrench with 7/16” and 3/4” sockets.
•Level
•Pencil
•Punch or Awl (to start the lag screws)
•(4) 1/4” x 1-1/2” Lag screws provided
•Masking Tape
1. Remove the mounting bracket locking bolt from
inside the jukebox (Figure 3-B) to release the
mounting bracket from the back of the jukebox.
Figure 3-B – Inside View of the Top of Cabinet
2. Mount the bracket to the wall with the lower
edge 43” to 44” up from the floor using 1/4” x
1-1/2” lag screws that attach to wooden wall
studs as shown in Figure 4-B. Be sure the
bracket is level.
Figure 4-B – Mounting Bracket on Wall
NOTE: If the wall is concrete, cinder block, brick, or
uses metal wall studs, then the appropriate fasteners
must be used. At least 4” heavy duty fasteners (one
in each corner) must be employed. The fasteners
must be able to support a 170 lb. object. Do NOT
use “press-in” anchors or any other “light” or
“medium” duty fasteners. Consult a contractor
experienced in the type of construction used if there
is any doubt about the strength of the mounting
devices.
3. Prepare the wiring. The power cord should be
attached to the back of the jukebox near the
bottom before mounting. The speaker and other
wiring enter the back of the jukebox near the top
of the hinge side (see Figure 3-B).
4. Place masking tape on the wall where the sides
of the jukebox will be when the unit is hung from
the bracket. The outside of the jukebox is 3-
1/16” from the edges of the wall bracket. (See
Figure 5-B).

5. Lift the cabinet onto the wall bracket. It will have
to be lifted about 2” higher than its intended
height. Keep it centered within the tape lines and
keep the back flat against the wall, while slowly
lowering it onto the bracket. When it has dropped
into the slots, replace the bracket locking bolt
(see Figure 3-B). This prevents the unit from
being lifted back off of the wall bracket.
6. Remove the masking tape from the wall.
7. The front door is secured using slide hinges,
which require no tools to attach. To attach the
front door, carefully lift the door and line up the
hinge pins on the cabinet with the mating hinge
barrels on the front door (see Figure 6-B). Then
carefully lower the front door.

Page 13
LED Lighting Controller
The LED Control Assembly (see Figure 10-B) controls
all of the decorative lighting for the jukebox. It controls
56 separate ultra-bright RGB LEDs.
The LED Control Assembly provides adjustments for the
following features:
1. Choice of 10 different color and pattern settings.
2. Music Beat Sensitivity (audio cable needed for
operation)
3. Flashing Rate (Speed)
4. Brightness
Speed (Flash Rate)
The Speed (flash rate) can be adjusted from very
rapid to approximately once every 2 seconds.
This Speed control affects the Rainbow Effect, Color
Cycle, and Beat to the Music Modes, but none of the
Single Color Modes.
To adjust the flash rate, turn the Speed dial
counterclockwise to make the flash rate slower, and
clockwise to make it faster.
Brightness
Turn the Brightness control counterclockwise to make
the LEDs dimmer, and clockwise to make them
brighter.
Music Beat Sensitivity for LEDs
(an audio cable is needed for this operation)
The MUSIC control sets the Music Beat Sensitivity.
The Speed control also has an effect on this
adjustment; generally the faster the Speed control is
set, the less influence the music will have on the
LEDs. It is recommended to have a relatively slow
speed setting so the music will have a greater
influence on the LEDs.
To adjust the Music Beat Sensitivity, make a
selection. When it starts playing and you hear the
music, rotate the SPEED control completely
counterclockwise and the MUSIC control completely
clockwise. Slowly turn the MUSIC control
counterclockwise to adjust the Music Beat Pattern.
Then adjust the SPEED control clockwise until you
achieve the desired effect.
If you do not want the LEDs to flash to the music,
rotate the MUSIC control fully counterclockwise.
Figure 10-B – LED Control Assembly
Color and Light Pattern Settings
When the jukebox is in standby, the perimeter lighting
can operate in one of 10 different patterns as outlined
on the following page.
Four DIP Switches are used to set the various
lighting patterns. This will set the pattern that is seen
when the jukebox is muted (in standby) or if music is
playing but the MUSIC control is set to its fully
counterclockwise position. See the chart on the next
page for DIP switch settings.
Note: When changing from one pattern to another,
the new pattern will be start only after the old pattern
has finished its complete cycle and is about to restart
at the beginning.

Sound System for Rock-Star Lx
The audio system in the Rock-Star Lx jukebox is a
result of collaboration with one of the best commercial
and musical instrument amplifier manufacturers in the
world—Peavey Electronics®.
The Peavey IPR 1600 Power Amplifier is rated at
1600 watts into a 2 ohm load, however, AMI
recommends a load no less than 4 ohms. At 4 ohms,
the Peavey IPR 1600 delivers 530 watts* per channel.
* Watts RMS, 1000 Hz, FTC method
The system consists of a dual stereo (4-channel) pre-
amplifier, combined with a two channel power
amplifier. One pre-amplifier output is designated as
“Internal Output”, the other is designated “External
Output”.
The system may be operated as a single zone or a
dual zone system with separate volume controls for
each zone. Optionally, the system may be configured
to operate up to 4 mono zones. From the factory, the
internal output is sent to the Peavey power amplifier.
Extension speakers are connected directly through an
audio distribution transformer.
Please Note: This section mentions Internal and
External Pre-Amplifier Outputs. With factory default
pre-amplifier and volume control settings, “Internal”
refers to the two channels controlled by the “INT”
volume buttons and normally regulate the extension
speakers’ volume. “External” refers to the 2 channels
controlled by the “EXT” volume buttons. This audio
signal may be used to feed an auxiliary power
amplifier. The standard IR remote control may be
configured to operate the internal and external
channels separately. If an optional Multi-Zone Volume
Control is used, or if you wish to assign your own
zones, the outputs are designated:
Internal Left = Channel 1
Internal Right = Channel 2
External Left = Channel 3
External Right = Channel 4
Specifications and Operating Features
•Separate volume levels for Paid Play and
AutoPlay/Background Play
•Switchable Stereo/Mono Modes
•Separate 5-band equalizers for each channel
•Multiple volume control configurations
•Built-in Paging System input
•Switch setting for microphone gain. Dial control for
maximum microphone volume
•Music Level While Paging settings. Settings are
split to provide separate channel control
•“Always On” amplifier for special event audio and
background music functions. Only if jukebox is
turned off with IR, RF, or optional Multi-Zone
Remote Volume Control.
•Always On Automatic Volume Control (AVC)

Audio System Features and Settings
The SyberSonic audio system is preset at the factory
for optimum operation; however, some adjustment
may be required to achieve the best sound or
operating features for your particular environment.
Some audio system settings are in the software and
are easily set using the jukebox touchscreen. Others
are set on the hardware.
The audio system features and adjustments are
described below. Hardware setting instructions are
included here. Instructions for Setting the Pre-
Amplifier Software are in the Network Setup, Jukebox
Operation, Operator Setup Screen Manual.
Volume Control/Zone Settings and Linking –
These are software settings that control the behavior
of the various remote volume controls.
The software is capable of addressing four volume
controls. Rock-Ola’s optional 4-channel volume
control has a fixed address of VCU4 that cannot be
changed. Rock-Ola’s optional 2-channel volume
control is factory set to VCU1, but it may be changed
with DIP switches on the Peripheral Interface. Rowe’s
Volume Control Units may be connected as long as
their address is configured to either VCU2 or VCU3.
(Refer to Rowe’s documentation for setting specifics.)
The default address designations are as follows:
VCU1 = Rock-Ola 2-zone volume control*
VCU2 = Open
VCU3 = Open
VCU4 = Rock-Ola 4-channel volume control
* Both the Rock-Ola 6-Button and Rock-Ola RF Volume Controls
may be connected simultaneously; however, the button functions
cannot be set differently for each.
Stereo/Mono Switch – Sets the audio system to
operate in Stereo or Mono modes. This switch is
preset at the factory to Mono. We recommend
leaving it set this way, as it is necessary for multi-
zone operation.
Equalizer –This is a software setting that changes
speaker tone by increasing or decreasing the
response (gain) of a particular frequency range. Each
of the 4 possible zones/channels has separate
settings.
Balance – Set the channel balance by increasing or
decreasing the power amplifier’s gain controls.
Audio Volume During Paging - Mic Routing –
These software settings establish a fixed volume
level for any music playing during a page. Each of the
4 channels has separate settings. Mic Routing allows
you to set which channel(s) will have the paging
signal allowed/disallowed. This may be used to
create a zoned paging system.
Paging Microphone Volume – Establishes the
maximum paging volume. Set the maximum
microphone volume using the Level knob on the Pre-
Amplifier. A gain switch is also provided to match the
input impedance of the microphone. Instructions to
connect a paging mic can be found on page 19.
Volume Limit –Maximum volume for each channel
may be limited by decreasing the power amplifier’s
gain controls.
Default Volume Level – A preset volume level set in
the software that the jukebox will use upon power up.
This feature can be turned Off or On.
Audio Modes – These are software settings that
control how the jukebox handles normal play,
autoplay, background play, and auxiliary audio. See
the Network Setup, Jukebox Operation, Operator
Setup Screen Manual for details.

Sound & Speaker Set Up
The Rock-Star Lx incorporates a 1600 Wrms Power
Amplifier for the speakers. In its default configuration,
the Power Amplifier is connected to the Pre-Amplifier
INT outputs, and volume is adjusted by using the IR
Transmitter. The output of the Power Amplifier is
connected to the 70251-A Audio Transformer unit
which matches power output from the amplifier to
speaker loads. In addition, outputs for 70-volt CV
systems are provided. Note: The 70-volt CV Taps are
rated 150W max per channel.
If more power is required for an installation, the 1600
Wrms amplifier may be replaced with a 2,600 Wrms
Power Amplifier. This optional amplifier may NOT be
used with the 70251-A Audio Distribution
Transformer.
The figure below is a representation of the Audio
Transformer Assembly. Its purpose is to match the
external speaker load to the Peavey Power Amplifier
output so that the optimum amount of power is
delivered to the extension speakers.
For best performance, speakers should be connected
to the highest tap that will not result in an overload.
An overload is defined as any connection scheme
that will cause higher power consumption than the
amplifier is capable of delivering.
The rest of this section assumes that standard equipment – the PV-1600 Power Amplifier and Audio
Transformer Assembly – is used. It is also assumed that you are familiar with the Amplifier Description and
Operation section.
