1. Power off the jukebox and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. The second amplifier is mounted behind the Front Panel Assembly on the
Continental Video Jukebox. Refer to Figure 2. Open the UI Panel and remove the
Front Graphic Panel.
3. Install the two Mounting Brackets (item #3) and two Cable Clamps (item #2)
using four #8-32 hex nuts (item #4) on the studs located on the cabinet back.
4. Install the 2
nd
Amplifier to the Mounting Brackets with the remaining two #8-32
hex nuts.
5. Remove and discard the Modular Cable (Green) running from the ROWELINK
connector on the main amplifier to the core computer. Install the Modular Cable
(Red) (item #5) from the main amplifier ROWELINK connector to the 2
nd
Amplifier ROWELINK OUT connector.
6. Install the new Modular Cable (Green)(Item #7) from the ROWELINK IN
connector on the 2
nd
amplifier to the core computer and plug it where the original
modular cable was connected.
7. Unplug the three-pin power connector from the main amplifier and connect it to
the short branch of the 110VAC Harness (Item #6). Connect the Long Branch of
the 110VAC harness to the three-pin housing of the 2
nd
amplifier. Connect the
remaining connector on the 110VAC harness to the three-pin housing on the main
amplifier.
8. Connect the Audio Cable (Item #8) to the CH3 and CH4 outputs of the main
amplifier (connecting white to white and red to red). Connect the other end of the
audio cable to the CH1/3 and CH2/4 inputs of the 2
nd
amp.
9. Route your speaker wires into the jukebox and connect the speaker wires to the
2
nd
amplifier.
10. Plug the power cord of the jukebox back into the wall outlet and turn the jukebox
on. After power up, verify the jukebox is functioning properly.
11. Reinstall the Front Panel Assembly and close up the UI Panel.

Second Amplifier (1000 Watt) Set Up
The 1000 Watt second amplifier kit is powered by a 1000 Watt Pascal S-PRO2 Class 2
power amplifier. Speaker terminals are provided to connect extension speakers directly to
the amplifiers.
An Audio Output Transformer kit (part number 22180806) is available if your installation
uses 70 volt speakers or you need to connect extension speakers using various power
taps.
Ensure that your speaker load does not exceed 500 watts per channel for the 1000W amplifier.
Dual Amplifier Configuration
The installation of a second amplifier brings the total number of driven channels in the
NGX to four. The preamplifier in the primary amplifier is used to drive the inputs of the
second amplifier.
Second Amplifier Indicators
There are three indicator LEDs visible on the front of the secondary amplifier.
POWER – when lit, indicates power is applied to the amplifier
THERMAL – when lit, indicates the amplifier shut down due to overheating
OVERCURRENT – when lit, indicates the amplifier shut down due to a speaker overload
Second Amplifier Switches
MUTING: This switch must be set to the “A” position when the amplifier is used as a
secondary amplifier.
OUTPUT: the Output switch on the front of the 1000 Watt secondary amplifier is used to
select the speaker load. Choose 2 Ohm or 4 Ohm mode. This switch affects only the
secondary amplifier.
Bridge Mode
The secondary 1000 Watt amplifier can drive speakers in bridge mode. This allows
speaker connections directly across the Channel 1/3– (Black) and Channel 2/4+ (Red)
output terminals. In this configuration, the full 1000 watt amplifier power can be used to
drive appropriate speakers or a sub-woofer. In bridge mode the minimum speaker
impedance is double the OUTPUT switch setting, 4 ohms or 8 ohms. If driving a sub-
woofer, choose one that incorporates a low pass filter and make sure it can handle 1000
watts.

Sound System Configuration
The NGX sound system with a secondary amplifier can be configured to operate up to
four separate zones. Refer to Section 3 - Subsection 6.6 and 6.9 in the NGX Jukebox
Operation manual (P/N 21822707 Rev. C) for information on setting up Mode Linkage,
Channel Linkage, Volume Control Units, and Audio Mode configurations.

channels. In this configuration the Primary and Secondary amplifiers can be set to either
the Stereo or Mono mode. If configured for other than two zones, Mono mode should be
used.

Figure 4
Figure 4 shows a two zone stereo configuration with each amplifier controlling one stereo
zone. Speaker connections should be made based on the example in Figure 3. Be sure to
calculate speaker power so that no more than 500 watts are consumed by any single
channel of the secondary amplifier. Also be sure speakers are properly connected with
respect to polarity.

Figure 5 shows a three zone configuration. The primary amplifier is used to drive the
speakers in the main bar area. The secondary amplifier is used to drive speakers in the
restaurant and outdoor patio areas.
This configuration requires the secondary amplifier be set to Mono mode. The volume in
each of the three zones is controlled independently based on the Channel Linkage setup.
Speaker connections should be made based on the example in Figure 3. Be sure to
calculate speaker power so that no more than 500 watts are consumed by any single
channel of the secondary amplifier. Also be sure speakers are properly connected with

Figure 6 shows a single stereo zone with a separate sub-woofer driven by the secondary
amplifier.
Notice the Sub-Woofer speaker is connected (bridged) across the output of the secondary
amplifier. When the secondary amplifier is used in bridged mode, be sure to connect the
Channel 1/3 negative (black) terminal to the negative terminal of the Sub-Woofer.
Connect the Channel 2/4 positive (red) terminal to the positive terminal of the Sub-
Woofer.
Note: In bridged mode the minimum speaker impedance for the secondary amplifier is double
the switch setting, 8 ohms or 4 ohms.
