information, including the CD cover art.
Build and save custom playlists that set a mood
or celebrate an occasion. Let the Music Center
create playlists based on theme, tone, style, or
era, automatically, using the built-in Tapestry™
interface. You’ll get more out of your valued
music collection than you ever dreamed possible.
The QB8-PV is the first home entertainment
jukebox to feature Peavey 900 watt amp and

10
speaker system. Combined with the user-
managed SoftFade™ engine, this sound power-
house delivers incredibly smooth cross-fading
and soft volume transitions in multiple modes.
The touch-controlled graphic equalizer ensures
peak settings to suit your tastes.
A joy for the senses! Relax with the sight and
sound of music from the world’s premier
jukebox manufacturer – and now manage
selection and delivery with simple “drag-and-
drop” operations from the integrated
touchscreen.

Starting the QB8-PV Nostalgic Music Center for the First Time
With your Nostalgic Music Center connected to power and
broadband connected, you are ready to power-up and set-up
the system so you can begin using it.
If not already running, Turn on the Nostalgic Music Center
power by pushing the blue power button on the control
panel below the screen.
When the system has powered up again, the Rock-Ola logo
screen will appear for a minute or two, then will show a
message that the screen is calibrating.
When auto calibration is done, you will be presented with
the option to calibrate the screen automatically or manually.
Choose the “Manual Calibration” option and follow the
instructions. Check the “Done” button when finished.
You may get a message that “Touch screen input was not
detected. Check cable connections and try again.”
Check your connections. If all is well, proceed by pressing
the BEGIN STARTUP button on the lower right corner of
the screen. This confirms that the touch screen is operating
and will initiate the
Welcome Screen
The Welcome Screen is the first in a series of steps that are
part of the “First Time Startup Wizard”. This will help you
to configure basic settings and preferences.
Follow the prompts through a series of five setup screens.
The process will only take a few minutes, but is important.
You will be asked for important preferences and network
setup information. Each screen must be completed before
you can begin using the system.
TIP:
The series of set up screens will instruct
you step by step. A comprehensive
reference to the Nostalgic Music Center,
its operation, configuration screens, and
procedures is covered in this manual.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

License Agreement (EULA). Press the “Accept” button
to proceed.
2. Set Date and Time – follow directions for setting.

Touchscreen Basics
The Nostalgic 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 Nostalgic 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 Nostalgic 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.
To create your own CD library on the hard drive, you will
load your CDs to the system. The process is automated and
very simple to use.
On the Nostalgic Music Center, you can load any kind of
music CD, including “home-made” compilation disks. Most
commercial CDs can be loaded and cataloged in the system
with virtually no additional manual input. Some CDs and
any tracks you have recorded on disk may need added input
from you, as the information on those disks may not be
available online. The instructions that follow describe each
loading method.
Begin with at least four to five commercial CDs to load into
the system. Be sure that your Internet connection is
available (if necessary, refer back to Page 12 of this manual
for set up and preparation instructions.)
Automatic CD Loading
Automatic Loading CDs (Most
Commercial CDs)
1. Open the Nostalgic Music Center disk drive.
2. Insert the CD into the CD tray. The system reads
the coded information on the disk and displays
information about the disk on the screen. This may
take 2 – 3 minutes.
3. Confirm that the CD information displayed matches
your CD in the tray. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Begin loading your CD. If the screen information
matches the CD, press “Yes Begin Loading” to
immediately begin loading the CD you inserted.
5. If the screen information does not match the CD in the
tray, proceed to the next steps, Using the CD Loading

Using the CD Loading Wizard
(self-recorded, compilation, or
other “not-found” CDs)
To load custom compilation CDs (disks you have burned or
created yourself) and other discs not recognized by the
system, the Nostalgic Music Center provides a CD Loading
Wizard. The wizard allows you to input your own
information using the touchscreen.
To load a custom compilation CD you will need the
following key information from the CD liner notes or other
list:
Open the Nostalgic Music Center disk drive.
Insert the CD you wish to load into the CD tray. With a
custom compilation CD, the “Disk Information Not
Available in CD database” screen will appear.
Manual CD Loading Wizard
Launch the CD loading wizard. Press the “NEXT” button
in the lower right corner of the screen. The on-screen wizard
will launch.
Enter the CD information, Artist, Album Title, etc.,
following the wizard prompts on the screen. When finished
entering, tap “NEXT”.
TIP: The more information you have to enter, the more
access you’ll have to this CD via the various music
selection features of Nostalgic Music Center.
Choose a category for your disk by selecting a “GENRE”
from the list.
From there you’ll be prompted to enter a “STYLE”. You
may select from the list provided or type in your own using
the on-screen keypad.
When done, tap “NEXT”.
Enter the song titles in the spaces provided. The Nostalgic
Music Center has already calculated and noted the time of
each track. Use the on-screen keypad to enter title
information.
Use the “NEXT” button in the track title entry field to move
forward and enter the next track title.
To edit a track title previously entered, simply double-tap on
the title and edit as desired.
When you are finished entering title information, tap the
“NEXT” button on the lower right corner of the screen to
move to the next section.
Select cover art for your disk. Scroll through the template
choices and make your selection. The system will
automatically add the disk information you entered
previously.
TIP:
Did you know you can use your own art o
r
p
hotographs as cover art? When you set up you
r
QB8-PV on your home network, you’ll be able to
share image files as well as music files!
To learn more, go to the “Network Places” sectio
n
of this manual.
Begin loading your CD. Tap “NEXT” to begin loading the
CD to the hard drive. While the disk is loading, the “CD
Loading” icon will appear on the menu bar at the top of the
screen.
You can listen to music and perform other functions while
loading a CD. To watch the progress of your CD load, just
tap on the CD Loading icon and the progress screen will be
displayed.

USB Keyboard Connected to the QB8-PV
TIP:
If you are loading many CDs that require manual
input, you may find it more comfortable to use a
keyboard for your data entry. Any USB keyboard
can be connected to the USB port located next
to the power button on the door of the Music
Center. No need to set-up—you can begin
entering your information using the keyboard as
you are prompted by the screen.
