The CD-HUB is an Interface Adapter which allows you to connect up to 4 Wallboxes to your
Sony CD Mega-Changer. The hub is compatible with all 50 to 400 disc changers that have the
S-Link or Control-A1 interface jack. The wallbox models can be mixed or all of the same type.
Each wallbox can have its own individual song selections or all wallboxes can play from the
same selections. Great for setting up your wallboxes by era, song style or special occasion.
You can also connect one wallbox to other ports and have up to four songs for each selection.
Programming your hub is easy, using the supplied setup CD, you can set the wallbox type and
select features such as auto-play and album play. Song programming is even easier, start a
song play then make the selection on the wallbox to which this song will be assigned to.
All programming is stored in memory and will not be erased when powered off.

Installation
Wallbox transformer is NOT supplied
See Typical Wallbox Wiring for details.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to hook up a
wallbox power supply if you are not familiar
with electrical wiring, consult with a qualified
individual. Do not leave any wires exposed,
use wire-nuts and/or electrical tape on all
connections. Improper wiring can result in a
fire or shock hazard.
The wallbox adapters phone plug connects to the
Sony players S-Link or Control-A1 jack.
The command mode switch must be set to CD #1.
Selecting the Wallbox Type
Insert the CD setup disc into the disc position
corresponding to your wallbox type. See the
Wallbox Type Select list for disc # positions.
Select that disc and press the PLAY button
.
The setup disc contains silent tracks so nothing
will be heard. The play LED should be on.
While the disc is playing, make any selection on
the wallbox. If the function was successful, the
adapter will respond by stopping play.
If more than one wallbox port is being used, then
they must also be programmed. Repeat the steps
above until all used ports are programmed.
The CD-HUB supports up to 4 wallboxes. It is not
necessary to have all the wallboxes connected.
Each wallbox input uses 2 wires. Wallbox #1 are
the first 2 wires, which begin with the red tracer (at
the right hand side), the next 2 wires are wallbox
input #2, the next 2 for wallbox #3 and the last 2
wires are for wallbox #4.
The CD Setup Disc
Included with your CD-HUB wallbox adapter is an
audio CD that simply contains 99 tracks of silence.
This is used by the adapter to program the wallbox
type, select features and perform operations.
CD-HUB Power Supply
A DC wall adapter provides power for the CD-HUB
DC power plug is a barrel-type 2.1mm x 5.5mm,
center pin positive. Output is 9VDC, 300mA.
When a wallbox type is programmed the CD-HUB
automatically enters Song Program mode. This is
indicated by the CD-HUB LED always on. To exit
the Song Program mode, press the Power Off
button on the Sony CD changer.
Programming Song Selections
To program wallbox song selections, the CD-HUB
LED must be ON (see above). Select the desired
disc and track then press the PLAY button
.
While the song is playing, make the selection on
the wallbox to which this song will be assigned to.
The adapter responds by stopping the song play.
You can verify the song program by making the
same selection again. That song should now play.
Repeat the steps above for each wallbox selection
or you can use the Pre-set function to program the
song memory. Songs can be programmed on any
of the wallboxes while in the Song Program mode.
Press Power Off to exit Song Program mode.
Using Features & Operations
To select a feature or perform an operation, insert
the CD setup disc into a disc number position. See
the Features & Operations for disc # functions.
Select that disc and press the PLAY button
.
The setup disc contains silent tracks so nothing
will be heard. The play LED should be on.
While the disc is playing, make any selection on
the wallbox. If the function was successful, the
adapter will respond by stopping play.
Background Music Play
Sometimes it is desirable to have continuous
music playing when wallbox selections are not
being made. The CD-HUB has a background play
feature that allows the CD changer to be operated
normally to play CD’s. Background play is started
by selecting any disc number then pressing PLAY.
If a wallbox selection is made during background
play, the CD-HUB waits until the end of the song
then begins playing the wallbox selections. When
all selections have been played, the CD-HUB
returns back to where it was in background play.
The STOP button cancels a wallbox or background
song currently in play. The POWER OFF button
cancels the background play or use Feature 25 to
manually control background playing.

Pre-set Song Memory #1
This operation pre-loads the song memory for
wallbox #1 by assigning the first two songs
of each consecutive CD. This is similar to
having 100 vinyl records with A and B sides.
This method is suitable for Wurlitzer, AMI, and
older Seeburg wallboxes that use a letter or
page with sequential numbering for the A and
B sides. For example, A1 plays the first song
(A-side) and A2 the second song (B-side).
50
Pre-set Song Memory #2
This operation pre-loads the song memory
with 800 selections allowing each of the four
wallbox to have its own set of CD’s. It uses
the first 10 tracks from 80 consecutive discs.
Each wallbox is assigned 20 discs. Wallbox
#1 starts w ith disc 1 to 20, #2 is 21-40, #3 is
41-60 and #4 is 61-80. The wallbox letter key
will select a disc number and the number key
selects a track on that disc. For example,
wallbox #1, keys B5 selects disc 2, track 5.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom
Possible Cause
When the POWER button on the CD changer is
pressed, the CD-HUB’s LED does not blink.
Phone plug is not inserted into the Control-A1 jack.
Defective power adapter.
Defective CD-HUB unit.
When a wallbox selection is made, the CD-HUB’s LED
does not blink.
No signal is being received from the wallbox.
(A 9-volt battery can be used to check the CD-HUB
wallbox input wires. The LED should light when the
battery is applied)
After a wallbox selection is made, the song did not play.
Wrong wallbox type was programmed.
Missing disc or programmed track not available.
Wallbox signal is erratic. (see TECH NOTE below)
When a particular song was selected, a different song
was played.
Wrong wallbox type was programmed.
Wallbox signal is erratic. (see TECH NOTE below)
TECH NOTE
Electrical pulses transmitted by the wallbox are
generated by a contact arm rotating on a selector
disc containing contact points. When these
contacts become gummed up and corroded, the
wallbox may not make the proper selection.
Occasionally, these contacts require cleaning.
They can be cleaned with a cloth saturated with
isopropyl alcohol. Do not use emery cloth or
sandpaper as this may remove the plating.
On really worn wallboxes, where basic cleaning
doesn’t seem to cure the problem, you may have
successful results by using a low abrasive polish,
such as “Scratch Out” or “Brasso”. This will make
the contact surfaces shiny and smooth.
