Important Precautions
It is very important that all electrical outlets
the equipment is connected to are properly
grounded and are on the same phase! Check
polarity on all outlets before connecting any
components. Consult with a licensed electri-
cian. More details on electrical requirements
are to follow. DO NOT PLUG IN ANY PART OF
THE SYSTEM UNTIL COMPLETELY HOOKED
UP, YOU WILL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM!!!
The original shipping cartons and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have
to ship your equipment. For maximum protection, repack as it was originally shipped and
always insure it. When packaging a 20” or larger TV make sure you double box it. Make
sure the inner box with the TV has the picture tube facing DOWN.
If you do not understand something in the manual or have a problem please call our tech-
nical service department at 619-670-4412 or 800-878-4056 extension 8. Thank you for
your continued patronage.
In the following pages you will nd detailed directions pertaining to the installation and
operation of your new Digital Video System. Please note that some of the instructions may
not be relevant to your specic system setup). Please read all pages before attempting to
install the system and refer to it as needed. We suggest allowing your clerks and managers
to read over the manual, In case an emergency arises when your not around.

Unpacking And Setting Up Server
Page 3
The picture to the lower left shows what a 200 channel digital computer server will look
like completely set up. When your system arrives, the rack will come with the shelves (1),
router (aka switch) (2) and KVM (3) (used to view multiple computers with 1 monitor)
already installed. Once you have the rack in the room you can start installing all the com-
puters, disc changer and computer monitor. Please do not rush and DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES PLUG IN THE SYSTEM BEFORE YOU COMPLETE ALL THE STEPS. Each
system comes with a “Management” computer (4) (Used to check income, change set-
tings, etc.). One “Processing” computer (5) (Used to convert the movie les into “Stream-
able” formats and streams content to booths). If you have a 200 channel system, you
will have an additional streaming computer (6). The “Management” computer (4) must
be placed in the top set of rails of the rack as shown. The APC back up power supply goes
on the bottom (pre installed) (7). The tall bracket on the back is used for the computer
monitor (8) (which gets connected to the KVM switch). The Powerle (9) is placed below
the monitor. The key board and mouse
go in front of the powerle (10). The
wires run along the right side and will
get connected to the front of the KVM
switch (11). The 24 port switch (2)
(also known as a switchable router) that
is below the KVM is used for commu-
nications between your booths and the
computers. If you have Quad with your
system, there will be an 4 gray wires
connected to the front of the switch.
The switch is numbered and technically
it doesn’t matter which port you plug in
the booth cables to, but we suggest do-
ing them in order (helps with possible
trouble shooting in the future).
The LCD screen is attached to the brack-
et with 4 screws that will be in a small
bag tapped to the back of the monitor.
Connect the power and 15 pin cable as
shown. All cables throughout the system
will be numbered for your convenience.

Connecting back of server
1
You will need to connect 3 wires (1-2-
3) to the “Power Controller, that is pre
attached to the back of the Powerle.
We attach loose wires to the rack with
zip ties for shipping. You can cut the zip
ties that have not been trimmed down.
Connect all the loose cables to the
back of both computers and the APC as
shown. All cables are numbered. Do not
plug in the power cord until all connec-
tions have been made and veried.
Take special care to make sure the Yellow
and Green CAT 5 cables are connected
to the proper jacks (they are right next
2
3
to one another and if they are reversed, the system will not work). Make sure all cables
are tight. Cables that have “Thumb Screws” should be screwed in.
As a side note, if you are having any issues with the system...call us...do not EVER un-
plug power from the computer after it is running. Once your system is running and you
have loaded a few discs, we would like to dial into the system and make sure everything
is operating correctly. Please call Travis at 800-878-4056 Extension #23. If you have high
speed internet, Travis will walk you through how to connect our system to your router. If
you have dial up, connect your phone line to the jack on the left side of the modem.

Along with your STB you should of received numbers cables, below is a list of where these
cables connect and a brief description of what they do:
(1) If you are using an alarm in your booth, the switch would plug in here. The cable is
typically a yellow RCA cable connected to a white plastic alarm switch.
(2) This jack is used for connecting to the small back “power pack” that came with your
STB.
(3) If you have Quad (2nd TV in each booth), you would run a cable from this jack to your
Quad TV.
(4) This large connector is typically used if you are going to use mechanical buttons. The
harness attached to the buttons would connect here. Some custom booth congurations
may require a cable connected to this jack for speaker output or credit input.
(5) Your occupied and vacant lights are connected to a long wire with a DIN plug on the
end, it connects here.
(6) If you have “Buddy” glass or “Buddy” shutters in your booth the cable connected to
the relay box or transformer would plug in here.
(7) This jack supplies the video signal to your main TV.
(8) & (9) The Ethernet jacks are used to connect your touch panels. Both jacks work the
same and either can be used.
(10) If you have Quad (2nd TV in each booth), the BNC cable from the main server would
plug in here (usually a blue wire).
(11) This jack is used for all communication from the booth to the server (usually a blue
wire...looks like a big phone cable).
(12) This jack is used to connect your HDMI that would go to your main TV.
(13) If you wish to connect 2 speakers in your booth and offer your customers “stereo”
sound, this switch would need to be ipped to “2”. Contact Videotel for wiring procedure.
Connecting STBs
Each booth connected to the system needs an S.T.B. (aka Set Top Box). Depending on
when your system was sold, the box may vary in design and connections. All systems sold
after 7/21/2005 have “Piccolo” S.T.B.s (shown below).

Programing Your STBS After Server Is On
Once your server is on, please go to the “Booth Ac-
tivity” screen and make sure no green or red “Doors”
appear on the screen. If your screen doesn’t look
like the one to the left, all doors need to be deleted
before registering your new booths. To do this log
in as an owner (see owners manual), then click on
each door and select “Delete” (1). Once the booth
1
activity screen is
blank, you can begin
registering your booth
STBS. If your main
booth cables are con-
nected properly and
your server and STB
are powered on, you
should get a screen like the one
to the right (2). To register your
STB, you will need the remote
that came with your system (3).
Open the door of your housing
and aim the remote at the front
of the STB. Press the “Select” (4)
2
3
button. The box around the “Location” box should change from Yellow
to Blue (5). Now press the arrow down key (6) until the proper booth
number appears (7). If you pass the number, use the arrow up key
(8). Once you have the correct booth number selected, press the en-
4
6
8
5
ter (4) button again. The box around the “Location” box
should change back to yellow (8). Now press the arrow
down key again (6). The box around the “Location” box
should turn blue and the “Registration” box should change
to yellow (9). Now press “Select” (4), the screen should go
black and now the STB is rebooting. In about 2 minutes you
should get a stand by (girls dancing around and instruc-
tions to “deposit money”). The booth should be ready for
78
9
use. Keep in mind that once a STB is registered, the booth number stays with that box. For
example, if you take a box that was in booth 6 and move it to booth 1, when you power
the box on, the system will think your booth 1 is booth 6. The cables running to the booths
have nothing to do with the booth numbers. The registration dictates the booth number.
