Site Preparation
In determining the location for your
Megatouch Combo Jukebox™, keep in mind
that it must be connected to a suitable,
grounded electrical outlet. Since the unit is
acomputerizeddevice,itshouldhaveasepa-
rate circuit, if at all possible. If a separate
circuit is not available, care should be taken
toprovidea clean andconstantvoltage. As
a basic guideline, never connect the unit to
a circuit that also supplies power to freez-
ers, coolers or other high power-consum-
ing and electrical noise-generating equip-
ment. Familiarity with standard wiring prac-
tices, as recognized by a government
agency in your area, is necessary.
Make sure the unit is not exposed to any
moistureorexcessive heatandthatthere is
enough space to ensure proper ventilation.
The unit should also be located on a sturdy,
level surface. When the two leg levellers
are extended and even, the unit should re-
main stable.
NOTE: All units using the music li-
censed by TouchTunes® must be
placedinpublic,commercial,business
establishments.
Sound Zones
Asound zoneisconsidered tobe anysetof
speakersthatare controlledasasingle unit.
A single set of speakers with the same vol-
ume control would be configured as ZONE
1,withan additionalspeakerset configured
as ZONE 2. The (2) speakers included with
the Megatouch Combo Jukebox™ will be
configured as ZONE 1.
Planning the Installation
Consider the following as you decide on
jukebox and/or speaker placement:
·volume required in the area
·the stereo image. The sound stage of
sound zones can vary depending on
speaker placement.
NOTE: Sometimes the physical layout
of a location makes it almost impos-
sibletocreateagoodstereoimage. For
example, if a location has many small
interconnected rooms or if a location
is very long and narrow. Under these
circumstances, it may be more advan-
tageous to operate all speakers in
mono. This would enable you to cover
small rooms with one speaker instead
oftwo and makeplacement much easier
to determine.
Checking the Phone Line
Theunit requiresan analog telephone line to
communicate daily with the TouchTunes®
server. Once connected, the unit will call
out once daily based on a specified time
frame determined by the operator and typi-
cally during closed hours. The telephone
line connection is necessary to ensure soft-
ware program updates and music down-
loads. For security reasons, the unit will be
deactivatedifit fails toconnecttothe server
within 30 days after a phone connection is
lost.
A dedicated phone line is not necessary, as
you should be able to share an existing lo-
cation phone line. However, depending on
the quality of the existing line in the location,
the type of phone services it supports, and
the other equipment making use of the line,
you may or may not be able to make use of
this existing telephone line.
NOTE: It is crucial that the jukebox have
access to a noise-free telephone line. If
you connect the jukebox to a substan-
dard line, it will result in communica-
tions problems including repeated call
failures and slow downloads. This will
impact your ability to add songs to the
jukebox and receive new software up-
dates, as well as cause additional main-
tenance for you. It is best to get this
correct during installation to avoid
recurring problems.
Sharing a Phone Line
In most cases, the jukebox can success-
fullysharethe existingphonelinewith other

PM0378-07 MEGATOUCH COMBO JUKEBOX™ OWNER’S MANUAL 3
devices, such as phones, fax machines, or
alarm systems. However, some devices,
such as computerized telephones, lottery
terminals, and ATMs, can cause problems
on a shared line. You can usually resolve
these conflicts by contacting the operator
of the other equipment and coordinating call
and answer times.
Sharing the Line with an Alarm
System
Most current Alarm Systems communicate
over telephone wiring. These locations
shouldhave thetelephone line from the ser-
viceentry goingtothe inputside ofthealarm
and the telephones connected to the phone
side of the alarm.
Sharing the Line with a Digital Phone
System
If a location has a digital phone system, the
jukebox telephone line must be connected
to the analog line in front of the phone sys-
tem.
Description
The Megatouch Combo Jukebox™ mea-
sures 72” H X 27” W X 30” D and has three
key-lockedcompartments: thePC shelfsec-
tion (front door), the coin box door, and the

switches. The switch on the outside of the
unit affects the game only. The interior
switch is mounted above the cooling fan on
theleft side (if you arefacing therear ofthe
unit)andisaccessiblethroughthereardoor.
This switch affects both the game and the
jukebox. The interior switch should
remain on at all times unless the unit
is being moved or serviced, since turn-
ing off the jukebox component will prevent
communication with the TouchTunes®
server.
NOTE: The power switch on the Single
Board Computer (see Figure 1) should
always remain on.

Remote Control
NOTE: Any changes or modifications
to the remote not expressly approved
byMeritIndustriescouldvoid theuser’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Theremotecontrolenableslocationperson-
nel to control certain jukebox functions with-
out having access to the Jukebox Operator
menu. The remote control is powered by
(2) 1.5V AA batteries (included).
Theremotecontrol isRF-based,which elimi-
nates the need to point it directly at the juke-
box when using it. The effective range will
vary depending on the type of the obstruc-
tions between the remote and the jukebox.
For example, concrete and metal provide
more of a barrier than wood or plaster. The
remote control can also be affected by in-
terference from other RF-based devices. If
two TouchTunes® jukeboxes are installed
inclose proximityto one another, the remotes
may conflict if both have the same remote
control ID. You will customize the remote ID
and enable the remote while setting up the
game.
Figure 5 shows the functionality of the re-
mote control keys.
NOTE: Unless you are connecting more
than one set of speakers to the unit,
you will only be working with ZONE 1
settings.

work,includingMP3, MMP,andgraphics for-
mats stored within the memory of the juke-
box on location. At 11:1 compression ratio,
approximately 2,000 songs can be stored
on the 10 GB, ATA/IDE Hard Drive. The op-
erating system information can be stored on
theharddriveora64MBFlashMemoryCard,
as needed.
Jukebox Communications
The jukebox calls out once a day with an
“I’m alive” call, typically during a location’s
off hours in order to avoid phone conflicts.
Ifyou’ve placedorders for new songs, two
to three song files will download per hour
(based on average phone line speed), with
a33.6Kbpsor 56Kbpsmodemusedtocom-
municate with the server.
56 Kbps (V.90) modems are capable of
transmitting 33.6 Kbps to the server and re-
ceiving approximately 42 Kbps from the
server if digital lines are available on the ISP
(InternetServiceProvider) side. Thismeans
that this throughput cannot be achieved on
“Typhoon”. The modem basically acts much
like a D2A and A2D converter pair, convert-
ingdigitalsignals sotheycanbe transmitted
analogously on copper wires (with limited
bandwidth) and back to digital.
TouchTunes® Server and Database
TouchTunes® maintains two servers to
handle jukebox communications and data.
Two terabytes of disk space allow for an
extensive library of music selections and
for TouchTunes® to receive uploaded log
files from the jukebox network. One server
is used as a backup to the other.
Therearetwo pathwaysthatjukeboxes use
toconnecttotheserver. Approximately80%
of the jukeboxes connect to the
TouchTunes® server through the use of an
Internet provider. These boxes dial a local
POP (point of presence) radius server, which
verifies the user name and password pro-
grammedintothe jukebox. Fromthere,com-
municationis accomplishedusingthe Internet
backbone.
Theothermethodofconnectiontotheserver
isthrough adirect-dial tollfree number. This
also requires the jukebox to verify its user
name and password to gain access to the
TouchTunes server.
Internet Service Providers
TouchTunes® uses UUNET™ and AT&T™
to handle Internet access for jukeboxes. In
somecases, jukeboxeshavedifficulty com-
municating due to a problem with the ISP
(Internet Service Provider) network and not
TouchTunes®. TouchTunes® monitors ISP
traffic and congestion, makes changes to
thejukebox asrequired, and will even notify
the ISP when problems are noted with their
services.
Local Point of Presence (POP)
The jukebox will call a local phone number
to connect to the Internet. TouchTunes®
makes every effort to ensure the jukebox is
making a local call.
Jukeboxes that do not have a local POP to
access the Internet are using a toll free di-
rectdial-uptoaccesstheTouchTunes®net-
work. It is not uncommon for jukeboxes
using the direct dial to experience periods
wherethey getabusy signal. Thisisdue to
the volume of jukeboxes using the direct
access.
TouchTunes®has experiencedbetter com-
municationresultsusingtheInternetforcom-
munication and makes every effort to have
jukeboxes communicate in this manner.
How It All Works
New jukeboxes are programmed to call out
using the toll free number, but the phone
numberinformation initiallyprogrammed into
the installation screen on the jukebox is far
from accurate. The first step requires
TouchTunes®to send a small command to

the jukebox in order to capture the phone
number information through caller ID. After
the accurate information is obtained,
TouchTunes®will search for a local ISP for
the jukebox and program it using that infor-
mation. If the jukebox determines there is a
problemwith theISP,it willrollback tothetoll
freenumberto communicatewiththe server.
In this event this happens, the jukebox will
upload its files and logs, but will not down-
load music. Typically, ISP issues are solved
within a day’s time.
Installation
Once you’ve selected a suitable location,
you are ready to install the Megatouch
Combo Jukebox™.
Installing the Hard Drive
NOTE: You should have already made
arrangements to receive a hard drive
for the unit prior to delivery. The juke-
box will not function without the hard
drive.
To install the hard drive:
1. Make sure the interior powerswitch
is turned OFF and that the unit is un-
plugged from its power source.
2. Unlock and open the front door to ac-
cess the SBC (see Figure 1).
3. Insertthe 10GBhard drive into the ‘Re-
movable Hard Disk’ slot (see Figure 6)
until it is fully seated, then hand-tighten
the hard drive bracket spring-loaded
screw into the tapped hole. Keep in
mind that the hard drive is sensitive to
impact and must be handled with care.
NOTE: Push the hard drive into the slot
gently, as the mating pins/connector
may be slightly out of alignment.
Connecting a Phone Line
4. Connect one end of the supplied phone
line to the phone connector located on
the back of the unit (see Figure 7).
5. Connect the other end of the phone
line to a phone jack. If necessary, use
the supplied phone coupler and/or

screen and press NEXT. The PHONE
SETTINGSScreenwill appear. SeeFig-
ure 17.
35. Set the time during which the jukebox
can use the phone line to call out to the
TouchTunes® server. Time is speci-
fied using a 24-hour clock (i.e. 00:00
equals midnight).
NOTE: The more time you make avail-
able, the more songs the jukebox will
be able to download at one time (a
single songs takes about 20 to 25 min-
utes to download). The busiest time for
the server is between 4 AM and 8 AM
Eastern time. If you can set your unit to
call outside this time, you may get bet-
ter throughput. It is suggested you set
CALL FROM to one half hour after the
location is locked up for the night (i.e.,
thetime the lastpersonleaves and locks
the front door) and set CALL TO to one
half hour before the first person enters
the location. Once a song file begins
downloading, it will continue through
to completion, which may exceed the
end time specified. The half-hour
buffer should prevent phone conflicts.
36. Enable the WAIT FOR DIALTONE op-
tionto turnondial tonedetection. If this
featureisleft off,thejukeboxwill auto-
matically start dialing after a two-sec-
onddelay. For voicemail compliance, it
isrecommended youleavethis feature
off in order to solve dialing problems
on the phone line. When voice mail is
installed, the jukebox modem may not
be able to recognize the dial tone fol-
lowing the voice mail signal because in
many cases, the dial tone is intermit-
tent due to message beeps.
Ifit isnecessary atyour locationto dial
the number 9 to gain access to an out-
side line, turn on DIAL 9 FOR EXTER-
NAL LINE. If a different outgoing pre-
fix needs to be dialed, use the EDIT
button in the CUSTOM DIAL PREFIX
box to bring up a numeric keypad for
entering the prefix.
If the location has call waiting, you
should enter the prefix to disable it. In
most cases this is *70. You may need
to add a pause to the end of this se-
quence, as sometimes there is a delay
before the dial tone returns. Use the #
keyto entera pause. Forexample, the
sequence *70## disables call waiting
andthenpausestwicebeforecontinu-
ing to dial.
Select the type of phone line that is
installed at the location by settingTONE
DIALING to ON orOFF.
