button once. The location of this button is
shown in FIG1.

WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING THE JUKEBOX WITHOUT A FULL BASKET OF
RECORDS PLEASE SPACE THE RECORDS EVENLY AROUND THE BASKET AS
AN UNBALANCED BASKET MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL FAULT.
CAUTION! MOVING PARTS! THE MECHANISM OF THE JUKEBOX
CONTAINS MOVING AND ROTATING PARTS. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL
WHEN LOADING OR OPERATING WITH THE FRONT DOOR OPEN. ENSURE
THAT LOOSE CLOTHING, JEWELERY, LONG HAIR ETC ARE KEPT AWAY FROM
THE VINYL MECHANISM AND ROTATING BASKET.
Loading Records
The Jukebox holds 70 vinyl records and can play both sides (A&B). Each record
has a number to play side A and another number for side B. Side A numbers
run from 100 - 169. Side B numbers run from 200 - 269.
The Jukebox selects a chosen record by rotating the mechanism to the chosen
number and then offering that record to the stylus. It is therefore important to
make sure the records are inserted in the correct basket number and facing the
correct way.
The following pages will instruct you how to load discs into your Jukebox
mechanism.

• Slide the record into the slot
Side A should be facing towards
the left of the slot and side B facing
the right. Do not play warped
records as this could damage the
mechanism.
• Continue to follow these steps until the basket is full.
Warning : If you are using the Jukebox without a full basket of records
please space the records evenly around the basket as an unbalanced basket
may cause mechanical fault.
• Each records slot corresponds to a title card selection number. (see page
12) It is important to ensure records are in the correct numbered slot and
facing the right direction.
• When loading records it is advisable to load sections at a time in order to
evenly space and weight the basket.
• Note : the mechanism can play both “dinked” (with a large centre hole)
and normal “non dinked” records.

Adjusting Volume
As a precaution against overloading the speakers when switching the Jukebox
on, the volume is preset to a low level.
• To raise the volume to the preferred level, select a track, wait until the disc
is playing, then adjust the volume using the ‘VOL 1’ volume keys on the
remote control.
• The display will briefly show the volume level as ‘L -’. The number will vary
dependant on the volume level with 0 for off and 50 for full volume.
• The ‘VOL 2’ volume keys (on the remote) are used to adjust the volume of
the spare amplifier channels, please refer to page 24 “Adding additional
speakers”.
• Pressing the ‘MUTE’ key on the remote, will instantly mute the amplifier and
the display will show ‘L —‘, to return the volume to the previous level press
any of the volume keys.
Powering Off the Jukebox : Sleep Mode
It is recommended that the Jukebox is powered off using the standby procedure
and then to “full off” at the mains switch if required. This ensures that discs are
ejected and the mechanism is in a safe position. Failure to power the Jukebox
down in this way could damage the jukebox mechanism.
To power off the Jukebox
• Press the ‘POWER’ button on the remote control. (FIG7) If a disc is playing
it will be returned to its position in the mechanism. “Sleep” will show on the
Jukebox display.
NOTE : Sleep mode is useful if you are going to be using your Jukebox within a
day or so. This will conserve power but still “wake’ the Jukebox quickly should
you wish to use it.
If you are not going to use the Jukebox for a few days then it is recommended to
use sleep mode followed by a full power off using the power switch on the back
of the Jukebox.
