Taking Delivery / Transit Mode
Once the Jukebox has been positioned in its designated space the following
instructions will allow you to prepare it for use. The keys to open the Jukebox
will be found attached to the rear of the cabinet. The keys will open the side
locks and the rear cabinet lock. See opposite page FIG1.
Transit Mode
Upon delivery the Jukebox player mechanism will be locked in “Transit Mode.”
The following pages explain how to remove the transit foam, and prepare the
Jukebox for use. Please work through this guide in order.
When removing the transit parts, to reduce the risk of accidental damage to the
Jukebox mechanism, it is recommended to do so with the Jukebox powered off.
Retain all transit parts for future use.
The Jukebox has transit parts in both the upper playing deck area and the lower
section of the mechanism (Fig2) with bolts holding the mechanism in locked
position (Fig3). It is important to follow the transit part removal guide very
carefully to risk damage to the jukebox mechanism.

How to locate and remove retaining bolt wingnuts
When in transit mode the Jukebox player mechanism will be locked into
position by 6 wing nuts that are located under the mechanism shelf. These must
be loosened before initial operation. The loosening of the wingnuts allow the
mechanism to float freely and dampen any vibrations which may effect the vinyl
playback. These wingnuts are easily removed however, 3 of the wingnuts are
located behind the bass speakers so these need to be removed to gain access to
the wingnuts.
How to locate and remove retaining bolt
wingnuts
• Locate the 3 wingnuts on the front of the lower shelf
as shown in Fig3. Simply losen these wingnuts by
hand and remove them. All transit parts including the
wingnuts should be kept safe for fututre use.
• Locate and undo the clip retaining the wires
underneath the shelf.
• Unplug the speaker connectors from their sockets.
• Locate the bass speaker box retaining screws.(Fig3)
Then remove these screws.
• The speaker boxes can now be slid forward and
removed temporally to gain access to the rear
mechanism retaining wingnuts.
• Remove the rear mechanism retaining wingnuts.
• As the wingnuts are removed the mechanism will lift
allowing access to the thin pieces of wood underneath
the mechanism. These are in place to help clamp the
mechanism down to the shelf when in transit mode.
• Slide out the thin pieces of wood from underneath the
mechanism.
• The speaker boxes can now be re-fitted and connected
back to the amplifier via their plug sockets.
• PLEASE ensure the speaker boxes are connectd
properly and that they are secured firmly back in place
prior to operating the jukebox.
The transit pieces can now be removed from the rest of the jukebox.

10
• The lower mechanism retaining foam can be slid free (Fig2)
• Looking at the play area of the Jukebox (shown in Fig4) - Carefully remove
the transit plate retaining screws with a suitable screwdriver. The transit
plate is now able to be lifted from the playing platter and tone arm. It is
important to remove the plate by lifting directly UP so as not to damage
the tone arm. The plate should be kept safe for use if the jukebox is to be
moved in the future.
• Remove the retaining foam from under the tone arm.
• Switch the Jukebox on using the power switch on the rear of the Jukebox
denoted in FIG 1. The Jukebox will illuminate. Transit will show on the front
display denoting that the Jukebox is in Transit mode.
• Press the white RESET button on the back of the Jukebox. (FIG 1) to exit
transit mode. The mechanism will return to its home position with the LP
changer arm at the top.

How to place the Jukebox into transit mode.

of moving, it is recommended that the Jukebox be placed into Transit Mode. You
will require all the components that were removed in the previous section.

Jukebox for 5 seconds. The location of this button is shown in FIG1.

location of the mains power switch is shown in FIG1.
• Working BACKWARDS follow the previous steps (pages 7-10) to replace
all transit components securely. Failure to do so may cause damage to your
jukebox when in transit.

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 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

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.

Shuffle Mode
The Jukebox features a random shuffle mode. This feature allows continuous
play until the function is disabled. If a manual selection is made when shuffle
mode is enabled then the currently playing track will play out before the chosen
selection is played. Once the manual selection has been played shuffle mode
will continue.
Shuffle mode has two settings : shuffle disc and shuffle side.
Shuffle disc
• This mode will play the entirety of a disc (A&B sides) before randomly
selecting another disc and playing. This is to listen to both A&B sides. This
setting will continue to play random disc albums until the mode is disabled.
Shuffle side

mode is disabled.
How to enable or disable Shuffle modes

the remote control.
