Loading Records

WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING THE JUKEBOX WITHOUT A FULL BASKET OF RECORDS PLEASE SPACE OUT 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, JEWELLERY, LONG HAIR ETC ARE KEPT AWAY FROM THE VINYL MECHANISM AND ROTATING BASKET.

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

How to load records into the Jukebox

When the Jukebox is not playing. Rotate the record mechanism by grasping the belt drive and rotating to the left (anticlockwise)
Warning : Doing this will rotate the basket. Please ensure there are no items in the way – such as loose clothing, fingers, jewellery that could become caught as the basket rotates.
Release the belt when the required record slot is approximately in the middle of the right hand area of the mechanism. Each slot is numbered and the triangular sticker points towards the specified slot.
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 out 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 22 “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 at the top remote control (FIG 7) If a disc is playing it will be returned to its position in the mechanism stack. The mechanism will then return to its home position at the left hand side. “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

Shuffle side mode will play a random A side from a random disc until the mode is disabled.

How to enable or disable Shuffle modes

The shuffle modes are enabled by pressing the “shuffle on” button on the remote control.
Pressing the ‘SHUFFLE ON’ button ONCE enables the Shuffle disc mode. (A&B sides)
When enabled the Jukebox display will show : DISC and a small dot will appear in the lower section of the display.
Pressing the ‘SHUFFLE ON’ button TWICE enables the shuffle side mode. (A sides only) When enabled the Jukebox display
will show : SIDE and a small dot will show in the bottom half of the display.
To disable shuffle mode press the ‘SHUFFLE OFF’ button on the remote control. The small dot will no longer show to indicate that shuffle mode is not enabled.

Sequential Play

This feature plays the disks in ascending order e.g: 100 – 101 – 102. The mechanism will start from its current position and then play sequentially until the feature is turned off.

To activate sequential mode press “F2” on the remote control (FIG5).
“ORDER” will show on the display and a decimal point will denote that a shuffle mode is enabled.
Sequential mode can be turned off by pressing “F2” again or “SHUFFLE OFF”
Normal shuffle modes will over ride sequential mode and sequential mode cannot be activated when other shuffle modes are in operation.

Connecting external audio devices

Connecting an audio source to the Jukebox input

Audio sources, such as DAB radios or streaming devices can be connected to Aux 2 input on the D4 amplifier. The Jukebox automatically switches inputs.
The player mechanism is the default device and will always take priority over any other audio sources.
If the player mechanism is idle (no disc playing), the Bluetooth will take priority.
If the player and Bluetooth aren’t playing then the Aux 2 input will take priority.
Please note: It is recommended that the audio output level of the connected device is kept at between 3⁄4 and full and the volume is adjusted using the volume control of the Jukebox.

Connecting to the Jukebox audio output

An audio output is provided to allow the Jukebox to play through another amplifier, such as Surround Sound or Multi-room audio system.
Connect a stereo phono lead to the Audio Out connections located on the rear lower right of the Jukebox. (FIG8)
The audio level is approximately 2Vp-p but will vary depending upon the audio being played.
