At Home with your Rock-Ola Music Center
Rock-Ola QB Series Music Center
Congratulations on the purchase of your Rock-
Ola Q-Series Music Center.
The heart of the Rock-Ola Q-Series Jukebox is
the digital music management system developed
by the Qsonix Corp. The basic functions of the
Music Center allow you to load, organize, and
play your CD music collection with a touch of
your finger tips on the screen. Here are some of
the other great features,
•Burn Playlists and Albums to CD
•Direct Play
•Volume-leveled playback
•Photo Screensaver
•Independent volume control for up to 2
zones
•IR remote control
Loading your CD collection directly to the hard
drives of the system is simple and fun. How
many CDs can you load? The Music Center
system uses a high quality compression system.
This compression significantly reduces the
storage space required to rip CDs while still
maintaining near-CD quality. It’s possible to
store a library of thousands of in the Music
Center.
When your CDs are loaded, you can browse your
collection on screen by title, artist, genre, and
other criteria. The patented AlbumBrowser™
interface displays detailed CD information,
including the CD cover art.
Build and save custom playlists that set a mood
or celebrate an occasion. You’ll get more out of
your valued music collection than you ever
dreamed possible.
The Rock-Ola Q-Series is the first home
entertainment jukebox to feature a Pro-Audio
amplifier. This sound power-house delivers
incredibly smooth volume transitions in multiple
modes. The touch-controlled graphic equalizer
ensures peak settings to suit your tastes.

a potential shock hazard and will
defeat the surge protection devices causing
erratic operation or destruction of the
electronic assemblies and void all warranties.

up when the jukebox is plugged in. Be
careful when servicing. Unplug the
Touchmonitor from the amplifier module

software loads and the main screen will appear. This
process takes a few minutes—do not interrupt it.

Testing Connectivity
When you successfully complete the initial setup for
your Music Center, your system has already tried and
passed the internet connectivity tests.
When you power-up your Music Center after power
has been off, the system will check connectivity as
part of its re-boot protocol. Other circumstances may
also trigger a connectivity check, which will display a
screen such as that illustrated below:
Testing Connectivity…
In the event of a connection test failure, you would be
presented with the following message on your screen:
Follow the suggestions and continue re-trying for a
connection until the connectivity test succeeds. When
completed, you will be presented with the following
screen:
Success
When you have reached the “Connectivity – Success”
screen, congratulate yourself and tap the “Done”
button to move to the Music Center user interface and
start having fun with your new jukebox.
Note: A network connection is only necessary when
loading CDs or importing music files from another
device, and for system maintenance. Music play does
not require an internet connection.

Touchscreen Basics
The Music Center is operated from the touchscreen
controller. Even if you have never worked with a
touchscreen you will find that it is very simple— with
only a little practice you will become comfortable in
its use.
Here are some more tips to help you to get the most
out of your Music Center:
Don’t be afraid to press hard on the touchscreen glass,
it is designed to withstand considerable pressure. You
will find that a slightly harder press will yield better
control.
Clean the cabinet, glass, and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad scouring powder or
solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.
Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items such as a pen or screwdriver.
This type of contact may result in a scratched glass.
Avoid using the touchscreen while your hands are wet
or greasy, this reduces the effectiveness of the
touchscreen.
Experiment a bit to learn what touch pressure and
finger placement works best for you.
DO hold your finger perpendicular to the screen, so
that the fingertip makes contact with the glass.
DON’T drag your whole finger over the glass, or rest
your fingers on the panel.
Shut Down
WARNING
Do NOT remove power by
simply unplugging the unit.
Always use the power button to
control the system power.
Simply turn off the power by pressing the blue power
button on the control panel.
With the power off, the jukebox may be unplugged for
maintenance or moving.
Loading Your CD Library
Your new Music Center is delivered with a couple of
pre-loaded CDs, so you can jump right into the music
while getting acquainted with the system features and
setting up your own preferences.
