ABOUT THE SONG FOLDERS AND FILES
EXAMPLE FOLDERS AND THE FILES WITHIN A FOLDER
Folder names can only be
a two digit number from
01 to 99.
I
II
I
I
II
I
Each folder can have up to 255 song files.
The file format types can be either MP3 or WAV.
The first three numeric digits of the filename
identify the song number position and must be
in sequential order starting with 001 and up to
the maximum of 255. Although, some wallboxes
would only select up to 200, the AutoPlay feature
will select up to the number of available songs.
Any folder, containing song files, can be assigned for Wallbox and/or AutoPlay selections. The folder name itself, is limited
to only two numeric digits 01 to 99. Each song filename, within the folder, starts with the first three numeric digits 001 to 255
and ends with the last four character extension type, such as ".MP3" or ".WAV".
The player supports two Media File format types
MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3) Compressed format, Bit Rates 32 to 320 kbps (Much smaller files ~ 75-95%)
WAV (Waveform Audio Format) An uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM.
The examples below show the file size differences between the formats
001-Rock around the clock.mp3 2,065 KB MP3 Format Sound (@ 128 kbps, Near CD Qual)
002-Rock around the clock.mp3 3,098 KB MP3 Format Sound (@ 192 kbps, CD Quality)
003-Rock around the clock.mp3 5,163 KB MP3 Format Sound (@ 320 kbps, Max bit rate)
004-Rock around the clock.wav 22,751 KB Wave Sound (PCM, 44 kHz, 2 Ch, 16-bit)
To create the MP3 song files from your CD you would use a program to "Rip" the CD tracks to MP3. Windows Media
Player can be used but make sure, in the Options menu, that the Format is set for MP3 (not WMA). There are many other
rippers, such as one by www.poikosoft.com, that will automatically insert the track numbers and song names.
Another consideration is the bit rate. The bit rate is similar to the resolution of a photo, lower resolution will produce a fuzzy
image. For music, bit rates below 128Kbps may start to sound grainy. You can't tell much of a difference using the
maximum bit rate of 320Kbps other than larger file sizes. Many agree that the bit rate of 192Kbps is very close to CD quality
(as we recommend).

Wallbox Speaker Connection
Red Wire Black Wire
−
SpeakerOutput
The speaker output audio is produced
from a stereo mixer circuit fed into a
mono bridged audio power amplifier
capable of delivering 3W of continuous
average power into a 3Ωload with less
than 10% THD.
The Red wire is looped to both the Left
and Right speaker connection and the
Black wire is connected to speaker COM.
This provides consistent audio from both
speakers while allowing the use of the
wallbox High -- Low volume switches.
Wallbox Selections
A wallbox transmits a series of pulses
which are decoded by the player to select
a song number.
The sequence of song numbers were
designed to match the title strips. The top
of the 1st title strip selects song 001, the
bottom of the strip selects 002. Top of the
next title strip selects 003 and the bottom
004. This sequence continues to the end.
Before using the wallbox, you need to set
the model type connected. This is done
from the setup mode. Press 000 on the
remote, after the green LED turns on,
enter the 3-digit value from the list.
Throughout the manual, the setup step
above will be shown as 000: with the
value or range of values provided.
000:901-918 Set the wallbox type
000:450/460 Set the line frequency
000:801-899 Set wallbox song folder
Two mode options for folder changes ...
000:474 WB folder "Save&Run"
000:475 WB folder "On The Fly"
"Save&Run" stores the setup value to
power-up memory then reboots. If a song
was playing, it is stopped and all songs
waiting to be played will be erased.
"On The Fly" only changes the run value,
and is not saved. If a song was playing, it
will continue to play. The next selection
will be from the new "run value" folder.
I
II
IAlthough, it can be instantly changed
at any time, it does not reboot to renew
the song count which may cause song
delay. It is recommended that the new
folder has a higher or same song count
as the original boot-up folder.
Wireless Remote Selections
Remote selections are user direct 3-digit
song number selections, from 001 to 255,
and uses the same folder number as the
wallbox selections.
Both, wallbox and remote selections, are
saved to memory and played in the order
received.
Selection Preview Mode
If "Selection Preview" is ON, and a song
is currently playing, the next Wallbox or
Remote selection will cancel the current
song play and start the new song play.
000:476 Selection Preview OFF
000:477 Selection Preview ON
Selection Preview was not just
a requested feature for song
surfers, but also provides the
ability to demonstrate, test and
verify the wallbox performance



AutoPlay Selections
AutoPlay is a feature that picks songs at
a chosen period of time when no Wallbox
or Remote selection is available to play.
Any folder can be used for AutoPlay.
Two play modes are available, Sequential
or Randomized selections. But if a folder
has less than 33 song files, the player
automatically selects "Sequential Mode"
000:500-507 Set AutoPlay interval
000:470 Randomized AutoPlay
000:471 Sequential AutoPlay
000:301-399 Set AutoPlay folder
Two mode options for folder changes ...
000:472 AP folder "Save&Run"
000:473 AP folder "On The Fly"
Selection Preview causes the AutoPlay
selection to be cancelled.
Power On Volume Level
At "Power On", the volume level setting
saved in power-up memory is used.
The Factory Reset volume level is 622.
The Maximum volume level is 630.
000:600-630 Set the volume level
Set the Equalizer Profile
At "Power On", the EQ profile setting
saved in power-up memory is used.
The Factory Reset setting is 700 (no EQ).
Six EQ settings are available 700 to 705.
You would need to try each one to see
which is suitable for your acoustics.
000:700-705 Set the EQ profile
One-Time WB Sequential Test
This is actually used as a Factory Test
It works by booting up into test mode as
defined by the wallbox type specified.
When started, it is expecting every WB
selection to be in sequential order from
001 up to 200.
3-Error blinks indicates a sequence error.
000:401-419 Start WB sequence test
How to Force Power-Up Test
Hold wallbox input wires across 9-volt battery
and power-up unit. Starts up in Continuous
AutoPlay at song #1 in Sequential mode from
the wallbox folder number. Disconnect battery.
If unable to get the song count, shows a 5-blink
error and the wallbox folder # is reset to 01.
Re-power the unit to try again. If the same error
again, the folder may be empty or memory card
is corrupted. Try to reformat and load SD card.
SONG TEST. Enter 3-digit song selections from
the Remote. If a song is currently playing, it is
cancelled, the new entered selection is started.
The POWER key cancels the current song play
and starts the next sequential song play.
The PREV key cancels the current song play
and starts the previous song play.
Setting the Remote Control Code
To set the code for this remote, Press &
Hold the "Code Search" button until the
LED remains on, then enter digits 0041.
The LED should turn off. Error if blinking,
and requires to repeat this step again.
If the LED didn't turn on from the Code
Search, remove the battery and hold the
POWER button a few seconds. Re-insert
the battery and try again.
Lost your Remote ?
Most Universal Remotes are available
that will work with this player.
See the section to Force the player into
"Power-Up Test". When it starts to play,
Follow the manufacturers "Code Search"
steps for TV. The song stops playing
when the POWER code is found.
Not A Problem !
A wallbox is not necessary to operate
this player. You can enter your selections
from the Remote. Operates exactly the
same way, as if it was from the wallbox.
Provides you with the opportunity to test
and evaluate the player for your project.
For comparison, we would say this player
is the miniature version of our popular
WB-MP3 player, with a few more features.

The Johnny Rockets JRW wallbox is an electronic replica of the
Seeburg 3W1 mechanical wallbox. Wallbox power is rated for
24VAC @250 mA. This wallbox does not have a coin acceptor
