VenueHub : Sound Leisure
Introduction
This is a computer based digital audio jukebox system manufactured in the UK by Sound
leisure Ltd. Up to 30,000 Audio tracks are stored locally on the computers hard drive.
The customer inserts coins and selects tracks via a drag and drop style touch screen.
These songs are then played through the locations sound system or through the on
board amplifier situated within the machine.
Content is updated via a DVD or online via the internet. In addition millions of tracks can
be searched through and downloaded by the customer directly from the central server. It
is possible to manually adjust the machines program whilst at the Jukebox or make
changes to many of the settings via the OPWEB™ site remotely.
In addition to a vast choice of music the VenueHub technology also offers Bingo, Quiz,
RSS Feeds, Apps and advertising facilities.
Operation
The customer selects tracks by means of a touch screen interface.
Tracks are organised into Main Categories (such as Seventies Music)
The customer makes a selection by touching the screen on a selected category or track
To view further pages the customer can use the arrows or simply swipe the screen in the
direction that they wish to search.
To make a selection the customer inserts money and simply double taps the song on the
screen. Alternatively the track can be dragged to the orange coloured play box. After
been asked to confirm the selection the song is added to the play list. At any time the
customer can return to the main category page and add additional songs to their playlist.
Track Preview
Once a track has been dragged into the play box the customer can press and hold the
Preview screen to allow up to 15 seconds of the track to be previewed to ensure it is the
track that they want to play.
Recommended Tracks
Once a track has been confirmed to play the Jukebox will automatically recommend
further tracks that are often selected by customers who have listened to that artist.

OPWEB™
The OPWEB™ system is used as the web portal for Milestones and VenueHub based
Jukeboxes that are online. The website displays income, updates, On Off times etc. In
addition to this the website will provide interactive functionality with the Jukebox allowing
you to change BGM, P.O.P, Profile, remote reboot etc. A secure sign on page greets the
visitor. This password-protected entrance can provide different levels of access to
different employees in your organisation – so only certain pages are visible to certain
staff.
Once signed in the initial view is of the company’s whole estate of online jukeboxes.

Sites named by list – with installation dates – income growth – sites weekly average and
estate average. The current connected status is displayed REAL TIME- and the last
update taken by the sites jukebox is detailed. By clicking on the actual site name – the
individual site data screens can be accessed for deeper analysis and remote jukebox
configuration. For more details on the OPWEB™ system please contact Sound Leisure
Sales or Soundnet.
Workshop Preparation & Internet Connectivity
NOTE : The VenueHub must be kept ONLINE at all times to ensure that it receives it’s
scheduled music and program updates. Chart music is delivered on a Monday evening
and albums and core tracks are delivered on Thursdays.
To enable you to test and prepare the VenueHub for site it should be connected to the
internet. There are Four ways that this can be done:
•
•
•
•
ADSL – Via a router and CAT5 cable
ADSL - Via Wi-Fi connection (Edimax EW7711 USN Wireless USB drivers
available on machine)
3G modem – plugged directly into the VenueHub PC
MiFi – WiFi connection via a 3G router
Failure to test the internet operation prior to site installation may result in difficulties when
the actual installation takes place.
The most secure and efficient method of connecting to the internet is by wired ADSL via
a router. Both 3G and WI-FI systems can be problematic at times. If the Wi-Fi option has
to be used it is recommended that prior to the installation taking place the Wi-Fi status is
checked in the venue at the position where the jukebox is to be installed. This is done by
taking a WI-FI equipped product such as an iPad, Laptop PC, smart phone or similar
product to site to check the reception status.
If there is no broadband in the venue and neither you nor the venue owner wish to install
it a 3G modem or Mi-Fi may well be the solution. The national and area coverage must
be checked in the first instance as there is no certainly of national coverage.
Online Connection
It is recommended that a connection is made to the internet and the online server prior to
the machine being installed. This simplest way of doing this both in the Workshop and
on-site is to use a standard ADSL connection via a router. Connect a CAT5 lead
between the Jukebox computer network port and the internet router first.
ADSL Connection
Location: Engineers menu/Internet Features/Server
The procedure is as follows:
Press Server. Select Server and the screen will display “Server System”. Press
Continue. Press “Setup The Internet”. A warning screen will appear, Press OK.
Assuming you are using a hard-wired connection, select “ADSL Using a router”. Select
“Check the Internet connection”. The Google home page will be displayed if connection
4
is made. In the top right hand corner of the screen will be displayed “Close Window”.
Touch this to return to Internet Setup. Touch “Main Menu”, the Server System page is
now displayed. Select “Main Menu”. This time the Internet Features page is displayed.
Touch “Return to main menu” and you are once again back on the Engineers Page.
Press “Save the settings”.
3G Mobile Modem
Connect the 3G dongle to a spare USB port on the computer. The setup procedure is
then as follows:
Enter the Engineers Menu the enter “Internet Features”. Press “Server”. The screen will
display “Server System”. Press “Continue” and then “Setup the Internet”. A warning
screen will appear. Press “OK”. The Internet Setup screen is now visible. Select “3G
Mobile Modem”. Select “Show 3G Status”. The screen will now explain how to establish
if the 3G modem is connected to the internet. A permanently lit LED on the modem
indicates that the internet connection is established. A flashing LED means that an
internet connection cannot be made. If the connection cannot be made press
“Troubleshooting” and follow the on-screen instructions using step 1 first before
proceeding to step 2. Ensure that you save the settings if your actions have been
successful. The machine will now re-boot.
3 Mobile Mi-Fi
Summary: 3 Mobile MI-FI uses 3 mobile broadband to create a wireless network (WLAN)
so you can connect devices like the VenueHub directly to the internet completely
wirelessly and without the need for a fixed broadband connection.
Mi-FI 3 Mobile WI-FI uses a 3 mobile broadband connection
plus a wireless modem to create a fully wireless network that
you can use to connect the VenueHub to the internet without
the need for wires or a BT phone line. The system is very
simple to set up and use.
The speed that you experience will depend on whether you are
in an area with "excellent coverage" (i.e. within HSDPA
coverage), "good coverage" (i.e. within 3G coverage) or
"marginal coverage" (i.e. on the edge of the 3G coverage
region. 3's HSDPA coverage region currently covers 91% of
the UK population and offers download speeds of up to of up to
2.8 Mpbs. 3 are currently rolling out 7.2 Mbps coverage across
the UK.
Note: The 3 MIFI dongle will require a 240v supply at all times. This does not need to be
positioned within close proximity of the Jukebox.
You can check 3’s coverage by using the check coverage by postcode on the 3 website.
The MI-FI 15 gigabyte modem is available from Soundnet
Soundnet’s contact details are: Contact names Megan Grace-Hughes or James
Luck.Telephone number 02076 448888
SoundNet Server
Your VenueHub is already supplied to you configured with a gate ID from SoundNet.
This unique gate ID, in conjunction with the PC number, identifies your machine to the
5
SoundNet server. If for any reason the machine is moved to a new site. A new gate ID
will be required. This is supplied by SoundNet. Refer to page 28.
Location: Engineer menu/internet features/server
Checking the Internet Status
When you have established that the machine is connected to the internet it is wise to
check by going to the user screen. The RSS feed should be active. Additionally, there is
a small internet connectivity indicator LED located in the top centre of the screen. There
are three status options on this display:
•
•
•
Red. No Connectivity
Blue. Standard
Green Unlimited Connectivity
The Green Unlimited status allows all internet activity to function correctly. Please be
aware that if you are using a 3G modem there may be a delay lasting a number of
minutes before the status indicator turns from Blue to Green.
Workshop Preparation
Before commencing work on the machine ensure that the work surface is clear and
covered so that the underside of the front door surround is not damaged whilst working
on the jukebox.
There is no need to remove the wall mounting plate from the machine at this time as it is
best left secured to the unit until such time as it is taken to site.
The door keys can be found in a cloth bag secured to the mounting plate. The standard
key for the VenueHub is an SL001. Alternative locks are available and may be
purchased via Sound Leisure Stores if required.
Open the door. Plug the power lead into the socket on top of the power supply then
connect to a local power source. Turn the internal power switch on and the switch on the
socket. Please note that there is also an on/off switch underneath the machine. When all
power switches are in the On position the machine will boot up. This process may take a
few minutes.
The first screen that you will see with the door open is the Menu Selection screen. (This
is automatically activated by the door switch that is situated at the bottom right hand
corner of the machine just below the cashbox). If you want to return to the Jukebox
interface screen whilst working with the door open simply pull the switch actuator
towards you and touch “Please close the door / return to jukebox” message that shows
on the front screen. To go back to the Engineers screen depress the switch actuator and
release. The Menu Selection screen is now visible.
The first menu you access is the Engineers/Collector Menu. These are entered by
touching the screen on the relevant title.

Engineers Menu
In this section all of the pre installation settings are found. Before making any changes it
is good practice and indeed time saving if the actual site requirements are set within the
workshop, after which all of the non used options should be hidden to avoid confusion at
a later date.
Contactless Payment
Location: Engineers Menu/Jukebox Setup
This menu option allows the optional contactless payment system to be activated/
deactivated. You can view total Cash taken using this method of payment. There is also
a resettable meter to aid with collections.
Once you have activated the system it is possible to test a card in front of the reader to
ensure that your card is being seen by the machine. Your card will NOT be charged for
this transaction.
It is also possible to set the minimum and maximum credits that can be taken from the
card. Sound Leisure recommends that the minimum card payment should be set to
£2.00 as this offers the greatest percentage return from bank processing charges.
Once activated the P.O.P is set up following the instructions - Price Of Play - location
engineers menu/jukebox set up/price of play
Price of Play (With Contactless Payment enabled)
Location: Engineers Menu/Jukebox Setup/Price of Play
The factory default price of play is 1-50 3-£1.00 7-£2.00 for coin operation. To change
any setting the following procedure should be adopted:
Press “Jukebox setup” then “Price of Play”
Within this section there are three columns headed:

Credit Card
The Credit Card option refers to the number of credits given if a Contactless Payment
Card is used to establish credit. This feature will only function if the Contactless Payment
module is fitted and has had the feature enabled in the Contactless Payment menu.
Setting P.O.P Without Contactless Payment
The screen display shows the number of plays and the amount of cash required in 10
pence units to establish those credits. To change any setting simply touch the section
that requires the changes and follow the instructions and prompts seen on the second
screen. To save any changes made simply press Exit.
7
Online Selection
Location: Engineers menu/ Jukebox Setup/ Pricing Set up
The Price of Play settings also influence the cost of playing an audio track downloaded
from the internet server. In default, the jukebox is set so that an online selection costs 2
credits. The track will then be deposited on the hard drive of the jukebox and stay there
whilst it remains popular. In default it will stay on the hard drive for a period of 8 weeks. If
is not selected within this timescale it will be removed. If this track IS selected it will
remain on the jukebox for a further 8 weeks. To make the cost of an online selection the
same as a selection made from the jukebox hard drive or change the number weeks that
the track will be made available for selection follow the following procedure:
Press “Jukebox Setup” then “Pricing Setup”
There are two options visible these being “Online Weeks” and “Online Cost (Credits)”.
Both have “+/-“ next to them. To change the cost of playing an online track from 2 credits
to 1, in other words the same price of play for both a track taken from the jukebox hard
drive and one selected from the Internet server simply make the online cost 1. If you
want to change the number of weeks that an online track remains on the jukebox hard
drive simple change the setting using the “+/-“ options. When you have made any
required changes return to the Main Menu.
Installation of P23 VenueHub
Before you begin the installation ensure the following requirements are met:
It is recommended that all of the required site settings be set at your workshop and not
on-site.
The structure that the machine is to be fixed to is suitable to take the weight of the
machine. The P23 VenueHub weighs 35Kg.
The jukebox should not be fixed over a heat source such as a radiator or positioned
where it will be subjected to direct sunlight.
There must be a switched 240vac socket within 1.5 meters of the machine.
The space where the machine is be fitted should be wide enough to allow the door to
fully open. Note that a minimum space of 60 centimeters is required.
Select the best possible position in the location for the jukebox to ensure that the earning
potential of the Jukebox is optimized.
The Installation
The wall mounting plate from the machine is fixed to the back of the jukebox. To release
the plate open the front door and remove the cashbox. Slacken the two top screws and
remove the bottom screw.
8
Proceed to mount the bracket on the wall ensuring that is perfectly level and by the using
the most appropriate fixing for the type of wall structure. The top of the bracket should be
circa 183 centimetres from the floor level.
NOTE: The jukebox ON/OFF switch is located on the bottom left hand side of the cabinet
and room should be left to enable this to be activated/deactivated.
When the bracket is fully secured to the wall ensure that the two top screws are in place,
but not fully tightened.
The mains lead is provided in a separate bag. Feed the internal connection through the
opening in the rear of the machine and plug it into the socket that can be found on top of
the power supply. Do not turn the machine on at this time.
Close and lock the front door of the jukebox, with assistance lift the jukebox onto the two
slackened screws on the mounting plate. When you are sure that the jukebox is safely
on both screws open the front door and replace the locking screw. Fully tighten all three
screws.
NOTE: Take care when opening the door as the machine may tilt on its bracket as it is
not yet fixed.
The Volume control is connected to the Jukebox via the 1026V processor board that is
located in the bottom left hand side of the P23. The RVC connections on the control
board are removable to assist with wiring. Simply pull the 4-way connector towards you
to remove.
The speakers can now be fitted and wired back to the jukebox. Care must be taken to
ensure that the connecting cables are not damaged. The speaker leads are connected to
the speaker connection pad inside the jukebox. This should only be done after the
speaker lines have been checked with an accurate digital meter. There must be no short
circuits and the resistance must not under any circumstances be less than 4Ω.
Connecting to the Internet
The jukebox may now be connected to the Internet. Only if this is done will the end user
have access to audio tracks stored on the remote server and be able to use the online
applications.
The internet connection from the jukebox to the router should be hard wired where
possible in CAT5 cable. If this is not possible a wireless connection may be used
however it must be noted that a wireless connection may not always work correctly and
subsequently cause service issues.
Please refer to the separate section of the manual titled Connecting to the Internet at this
point.
Power up the machine
There are two power switches on the VenueHub. One internal which can be found on top
of the power supply and one external which is located underneath the unit and set into
the black case. When the switches are both in the on position and the mains socket is
9
also switched on the Jukebox will start its boot up sequence. It is normal for this to take a
few minutes.
When the machine has powered up successfully close the door, return to the end user
screen and check the Internet status. If this is fully functional the RSS feed will be
scrolling along the top of the screen and the internet status indicator will be green. The
small message alongside the indicator will read Online Unlimited.
Proceed to check the coin acceptance and make a number of selections. At this time you
should check the operation of the volume controls and reject as well as every speaker to
ensure that every speaker is working.
If the amplifier settings, such as maximum output level or tone quality require adjustment
please refer to the Amplification section of the manual. These should be set at this time.
Training the Licensee
It is of the utmost importance that the Licensee or his nominated member of staff
understands how the machine operates. Only if the management team understand how
the machine operates will they be able to explain to the customers how best to operate
the jukebox.
When you are totally satisfied that the installation is working correctly in every way
demonstrate the product in its entirety to the licensee so that they in turn may explain to
their customers what the new jukebox does and how it operates.
When the demonstration is concluded approval should be sort to position the tent cards
(table talkers) that came with the machine at strategic positions around the premises.
CoinMech
The coin acceptor fitted to the VenueHub is a
Comestero RM5 CCTALK
Important
A standard (non CCTALK) RM5 will not work in the
VenueHub.
Overview
The CCTALK mechanism allows the OPWEB™
management system to monitor in real time cash
acceptance. It also identifies whether or not the
acceptor is working correctly as well as a number of
other additional benefits, which are detailed in the
OPWEB™ section of the operational manual.

Pricing Promotion
Location: Engineer’s Menu/Jukebox Set Up
This facility offers an opportunity to allow special pricing schemes for a pre-set time
period during the week. There are 4 individual timers, which can all be tailored by day,
time, and price of play.
A basic function of this facility would be to offer cut-price or free tracks on the jukebox
during traditionally quiet periods when the machine does not take much money.
The pricing scheme can also be increased to make the jukebox more expensive during a
certain time period if required.
Once the computer clock reaches the end of the ‘Pricing Promotion’ time period the price
of play reverts to the default settings programmed in the ‘Price of Play’ engineers menu.
At this point the play list can be retained (if the VenueHub has been programmed to give
credits for a reduced price of play the playlist should be kept once the Pricing Promotion
has expired). If you have activated Free credits during the Pricing Promotion it is wise to
clear the play list at this stage as customers could have loaded hundreds of tracks onto
the VenueHub.
It is possible to Advertise the Pricing promotion on the VenueHub’s front screen. Simply
activate the adverts by touching the “Play Pricing Promotion attract Mode advert” until it
shows YES.
Setting Pricing Promotion Timers
First select “Pricing Promotion” from the Engineers Menu.
The “Pricing Promotion” screen will appear. If there are currently no timers enabled
select a timer by touching it on screen. When selected the Timer text will turn white on a
blue background.
Press the ‘Enable’ button.
Once the timer is enabled it will automatically enter default values for certain settings.
These settings can be altered by simply touching the relevant option. First set the days
and times during which the Timer pricing scheme will be active. To do so, touch the grey
square under ‘Times / Days’
Pricing Promotion timer On/Off times
To set the On/Off times touch the orange areas marked ‘Hour’ and ‘Mins’ on screen.
When selected the squares will turn yellow. At this point use the on screen keyboard to
enter values.
21
Values entered in the ‘Hour’ field must be in 24 hour clock format (00h – 23h).
Now select the days on which the timer should operate. To do so touch the day(s) on
screen which you wish to be included in the current timer. Once touched the Orange ‘No’
button will change to a green ‘Yes’ button.
To return the buttons to the ‘No’ state touch them again.
Once the correct On/Off times and Days have been set, press the ‘Exit’ button.
The grey area under ‘Time/Days’ will now show the details you have just programmed,
including the days and times when the Pricing Promotion timer will be enabled. Check
the days and times are correct.
Setting various ‘Pricing Promotion’ price of play
Touch the numbered squares from 1 - 8 on screen.
Enter the lowest price of play in the level 1 field by touching the Level 1 box.
A new screen will appear with 2 separate boxes for ‘Plays’ and ‘Cash’. Touch the ‘Plays’
box so it turns yellow and enter a number. Next touch the ‘Cash’ box square so it turns
yellow and enter a price for the number of plays you’ve just set.
The ‘Price’ value must be in multiples of 10 pence units.
Example:-1 play = 30 pence
Enter 1 in the plays box
Enter 3 in the cash box
NOT
Enter 00 in both the ‘Plays’ and ‘Cash’ boxes to enable FREE PLAY during Pricing
Promotion.
When the Pricing Promotion level 1 price of play has been set press EXIT.
Next (if required) enter a Pricing Promotion level 2 price of play by touching Level 2 box
on screen.
The Price value must be in multiples of 10pence units.
Eg. 2 plays = 50 pence
Enter 2 in the plays box
Enter 5 in the cash box
Continue in this way until all the required Pricing Promotion pricing levels have been set.
You can choose to advertise the reduced price or free play ‘Happy Hour’ periods, by
enabling Happy Hour adverts as follows.

To alter the Pricing Promotion advert settings, touch the orange Pricing Promotion
Advert box that is situated at the top of the screen.
Play Pricing Promotion Advert?
If ‘Yes’ is selected the jukebox program will display a Pricing Promotion ‘Now On’
animation on the touch screen monitor as an attract mode advert
If the ‘Pricing Promotion’ price of play has been set to ‘FREE PLAY’ the jukebox will also
display ‘FREE CREDITS AVAILABLE ON THE JUKEBOX!’
If ‘No’ is selected the Jukebox will not display any ‘Pricing Promotion’ adverts.
Clear Play List After Happy Hour. (Only used for Free Play)
During ‘FREE PLAY’ pricing periods the jukebox play list often becomes very long.
Setting this facility to ‘Yes’ deletes any remaining play list at the end of the ‘Happy Hour’
time period. It is only recommended setting this option to ‘YES’ if a “Free play” timer has
been operational. Do not enable for reduced price Happy Hour times.
This facility has the benefit that tracks selected and paid for after the ‘Happy Hour’ period
are not added to the end of a long list of ‘FREE PLAY’ selections.
Customers are also encouraged to pay for tracks on the jukebox as the machine will
either go silent or revert back to a BGM timer, rather than continuing to play tracks
selected during the ‘FREE PLAY’ period.
If ‘No’ is selected tracks in the play list entered during the happy hour timer will be
retained and played out as usual.
If ‘Yes’ is selected all tracks in the play list will be cleared at the end of the happy hour
timer.

At power on (if during on timer) the computer will tell the sle1026V to accepts coins, put
AGC,s to low and enable the touch screen controller. When coins are entered the
information is passed to the computer which will calculate and display the number of
credits. The customers then makes a selection, the AGC outputs are released (go high)
and the video output comes on (12v) and the music and video play. If the eject is
pressed the data is passed to the computer which will stop playing, the computer will
then tell the sle1026V to clamp the AGC's and the video output will go off (0v).

D4 Specification
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
4 x 60W rms Outputs (rated into a 4Ω speaker system)
Independent EQ control on each Channel
3 Stereo audio inputs (1 Jukebox and 2 Auxiliary)
1 dedicated microphone input
Karaoke or Voiceover microphone setting
Slave input and Line output
Simple 4 button interface with LCD display
Full fault protection with visual feedback
Highly efficient Class D amplifier design
Connecting Speakers
Each channel can take a minimum load of 4Ω.
Resistances higher than this can be used but the output power will be reduced.
Resistances lower than this may cause the amplifier to enter a fault condition.
36
The following diagrams show different speaker configurations:
Each channel on the speaker matching pad should be connected independently. Under
no circumstances should a single ground line be used to connect all the speakers back
to the pad, doing so will cause the amplifier to enter a fault condition.
Auxiliary Inputs
The amplifier can be used to play audio from auxiliary sources when the Jukebox is idle.
To interface correctly with the amplifier the sources should output at least a line level
(1Vpp) stereo signal.
The amplifier has 2 stereo auxiliary inputs which are prioritised, this allows automatic
switching between sources without the need for an external switch box.
Auxiliary 1 has priority over auxiliary 2
If sources are connected to both inputs only auxiliary 1 will be heard
If the source connected to auxiliary 1 is turned off the amplifier will switch to auxiliary 2
If the source connected to auxiliary 1 is turned on again the amplifier will switch back to
auxiliary 1
Using the menu system a switch over time between 2 and 60 seconds can be set for the
auxiliary inputs. This is the time that an auxiliary signal must be present before the
amplifier will switch to it.
The display will show a count down when the amplifier is preparing to switch inputs.
37
Microphone Input
The amplifier has a dedicated microphone input that is setup to accept a low impedance
(~600Ω) passive microphone. Active or wireless microphones can be used but any
external gain controls should be set low.
Line Output
The amplifier provides a stereo line level audio output for connection to other amplifiers,
if required the microphone signal can be output separately.
Slave Input
If 2 D2 or D4 amplifiers are used together a special link between the Line Output of the
first amplifier and the Slave Input of the second amplifier can be made. This link will
configure the second amplifier as a slave and adjust all internal settings accordingly.
Features which can not be used on a slave amplifier, such as the auxiliary inputs, will be
hidden.
Using the Amplifier
By default the amplifier LCD display will show the active input along the top line and the
Remote Volume Control (RVC) level along the bottom line.
On the D4 amplifier, the display will show the RVC level for channels 1 and 2 for 10
seconds and then show the RVC level for channels 3 and 4 for 10 seconds.
To change the settings on the amplifier a simple 4 button system is used.
Pressing the Menu Up button or the Menu Down button will cycle through the different
menus, using the + or – buttons will increment or decrement the current menu.
The display will return to its default state, showing the active input and RVC levels, if no
buttons are pressed for 1 minute. When the display returns to this state any changes to
the menus will be saved.
Menu Description
The following is a list of the different menus and their functions:
Channel 1 Stereo Mono Switch (Shown as Channel 1/3 on the D4)
This menu is used to set the amplifier in Stereo or 2 channel Mono
For most installs the amplifier should be left in Mono which will give independent control
of each channel.
If the appropriate speakers are installed the amplifier can be used in stereo, all settings
for channel 2 will now be taken from channel 1 and the volume for both channels will be
controlled from a single RVC control.
On the D4 amplifier channels 3 and 4 are also linked as a stereo pair.
If the amplifier is set in stereo all controls for channel 2 are hidden, on the D4 amplifier
this applies to channel 3 as well.
Menus 2 to 6 are repeated for each channel, the top line of the display will show which
channel is currently selected.
38
Channel Master
This menu sets the maximum volume level that can be achieved with the RVC.
To set this level, reduce the value to around 50% and turn the RVC to full. With a song
playing gradually increase the value until the maximum volume required in that area is
reached. Once this value is set the RVC can be used to control the volume from MUTE
up to the value set by this menu.
Channel Bass
This menu sets the Bass Equalizer of the current channel.
It can provide a cut or boost of 15dB.
Channel Middle
This menu sets the Middle Equalizer of the current channel.
Channel Treble
This menu sets the Middle Equalizer of the current channel.
Channel Microphone Volume
This menu sets the Microphone Volume of the current channel it is independent of the
RVC level.
Setting this menu to MUTE will stop the microphone working on this channel.
Aux Input 1
This Menu sets the master volume level for Auxiliary Input 1.
It should be set using the same method outlined in menu 2.
Aux Input 2
This Menu sets the master volume level for Auxiliary Input 2.
It should be set using the same method outlined in menu 2.
Aux Input Time
This menu sets the time that an auxiliary input must be present before the amplifier will
switch to it.
The value can be between 2 and 60 seconds.
Microphone Bass
This menu sets the Bass Equalizer of the Microphone Input.
Microphone Middle
This menu sets the Middle Equalizer of the Microphone Input.
Microphone Treble
This menu sets the Treble Equalizer of the Microphone Input.
Microphone Voiceover / Karaoke
39
If Voiceover is selected whenever the microphone is used the music will be muted, the
music will un-mute when the microphone is no longer being used.
If karaoke is selected the music and microphone will be heard together.
Line Out Master
This menu sets the volume level of the Line Output, it is independent of the RVC level.
Line Out Microphone Volume
This menu sets the volume of the microphone sent to the Line Output
Line Out Voiceover / Karaoke
If Voiceover is selected whenever the microphone is used the Line Out music will be
muted, the music will un-mute when the microphone is no longer being used.
If karaoke is selected the Line Out music and microphone will be heard together.
Troubleshooting
No Display
Ensure the amplifier power lead is
connected and the Jukebox is
switched ON
No Sound
Ensure speakers are connected
correctly and the amplifier is showing
an input is active.
Ensure the RVC level is not showing
MUTE
Sound Cutting Out
When the sound cuts out check which
fault is shown on the amplifier display,
compare to the list below
Auxiliary not working
Ensure the auxiliary source level is at
least 1Vpp and that the auxiliary
volumes are not set to minimum
The following faults may be shown on the amplifier display:
40
Over Current
This refers to an amplifier channel drawing more current than it should and will result in
the audio cutting in and out. Check the speaker impedance is above 4 Ω and that there
are no shorts on the speaker line.
Over Temperature
This indicates that an amplifier module has reached its temperature threshold and has
shutdown to prevent damage. Check the fans in the Jukebox are clean and working.
Low Voltage
The mains supply to the amplifier is below 200V AC (in the UK) and the amplifier has
shutdown. The Jukebox will not work reliably at this voltage level, increase the voltage to
the standard 235V AC.
If the Jukebox has been modified to run on a 110V supply the low voltage level is around
95V AC.
