*IMPORTANT INFORMATION*

Parallel / Printer Port:

Most computers can have two parallel / printer ports, and are referred to as either LPT1 or LPT2. To use the JAM STATION, the parallel / printer port resource settings should be set to the default values defined below:

• LPT1: IRQ 7, I/O Base Address 0378h

• LPT2: IRQ 5, I/O Base Address 0278h

Parallel / Printer ports have different MODES of operation – the most common MODES are listed below:

• ECP

• EPP (1.9)

• EPP (1.7)

• Bi-Directional

• SPP

• Centronics

• Compatible

To get the best performance, you should use EPP (1.7), if possible. ECP, Bi-Directional, and SPP Modes can also be used, however, you should avoid using Centronics or Compatible. The mode can usually only be changed in the Basic Hardware Setup of your computer, often referred to as the BIOS or the CMOS.

*Since you cannot normally access this setup from the operating system environment, the usual way to access it is by restarting the

computer and immediately pressing a certain key, specified by your personal computer’s or motherboard’s operating manual, on the keyboard. This specified key is usually DEL, F2, or F1.

Installing Your JAM STATION

JAM STATION (Multimedia Memory Card

JAM STATIONJAM STATION

Reader):

Windows ’95 and Windows ’98:

When a Multimedia Memory Card (MMC) is inserted into the JAM STATION, it is configured as if it were a removable hard disk drive, such as an external Zip Drive, CD-ROM Drive, or Floppy Disk Drive. You use the same methods to read and write files to it as you would a removable hard disk drive. For example, just as you would “COPY” and “PASTE,” “CUT” and “PASTE” or “DRAG and “DROP” a folder, or file to your Zip Drive, Floppy Disk Drive, or Hard Disk Drive, you would do the same for your Multimedia Memory Card Reader, (Removable Disk Drive). Please refer to: Transferring Music (MP3s) From Your Hard Disk Drive to Your Multimedia Memory Card (MMC): You use the same methods to read and write files to it as you would a removable hard disk drive.

When the MMC is removed from the JAM STATION, you will hear an audible “BEEP” and the drive letter and drive icon will be removed from the system. An audible “BEEP” and the drive letter again indicate insertion of the MMC and the drive icon will be restored.

Windows NT:

When a Multimedia Memory Card (MMC is inserted into the JAM STATION, it is configured as if it were a removable hard disk drive, such as an external Zip Drive, CD-ROM Drive, or Floppy Disk Drive. You use the same methods to read and write files to it as you would a removable hard disk drive. For example, just as you would “COPY” and “PASTE,” “CUT” and “PASTE” or “DRAG and “DROP” a folder, or file to your Zip Drive, Floppy Disk Drive, or Hard Disk Drive, you would do the same for your Multimedia Memory Card Reader, (Removable Disk Drive). Please Refer to: Transferring Music (MP3s) From Your Hard Disk Drive to Your Multimedia Memory Card (MMC): You use the same methods to read and write files to it as you would a removable hard disk drive.

*However, when the MMC is inserted into the JAM STATION, you may need to execute a REFRESH command in order for the drive letter and drive icon to reappear.

*CAUTION:

As with any removable storage media, remember that if you remove the card while data is being written to it, you may lose it’s entire contents. Always wait for a data write operation to complete, before removing the MMC.

How do I install MusicMatch Jukebox?

1. Installing MusicMatch Jukebox is easy. Close all programs before you begin the setup process.

2. The first interactive screen of the setup is titled Welcome. Review this information and click NEXT. The resulting screen contains the License Agreement. You must accept the terms of the agreement to proceed. Accept by choosing YES.

3. From the resulting screen, choose the destination location for the program files. The default location is C:\Program Files\MusicMatch\MusicMatch Jukebox 4. Specify a different location by choosing BROWSE. Accept the selected location by clicking NEXT.

4. From the resulting screen, select a program folder. MusicMatch 4 will show as the default. You may also choose an existing folder. Click NEXT to continue.

5. You will see the MusicMatch Jukebox files being copied to the Program Folder. A Question screen will ask if you want MusicMatch Jukebox to be your default CD player, MP3, M3U and Windows Media player. Choose YES or NO to continue. (You can always choose to switch these after you install.) Lastly the Setup Complete screen will be shown. Click FINISH to complete the setup process.

6. You will now have a MusicMatch Jukebox 4 icon on your desktop. This shortcut was created in the setup process. Click on the icon to open the program, and follow the Welcome Tips to get started!

7. How do I uninstall MusicMatch Jukebox?

8. To uninstall MusicMatch Jukebox, click START and go into Settings/Control Panels/Add/Remove Programs, and select MusicMatch Jukebox from the Install/Uninstall tab.

9. If I want to reinstall the software, will it overwrite all of the MP3 files I have already created?

10. No. MusicMatch Jukebox will reinstall all program files but will leave your MUSIC directory containing your MP3 files alone. It will also leave your database, playlist, and categorization files intact.

*Important TIP:

After any install or uninstall of any program, a RESTART of the computer is always a good thing to do. An install or uninstall takes up a lot of system resources, therefore, restarting the computer gives it a chance to flush out any existing memory that does not need to be used.

Always maintain a consistent schedule of maintenance on your computer. Regular SCANDISKS, DEFRAGMENTS, and DISK CLEANUPS will allocate sufficient hard disk space and speed up your computer! Refer to you operating system’s manual for instructions on how to utilize these tools.

>CD quality vs. near CD quality?

MusicMatch Jukebox lets you determine the compression rate at which you record tracks. Simply stated, a track recorded at near CD quality is more compressed than the same track recorded at CD quality and therefore takes up less hard drive space. Unfortunately, in order to save disk space, you may sacrifice sound quality; so many users choose to record CD quality tracks.

To record CD quality tracks, you must upgrade to MusicMatch Jukebox Plus

>How do I record digital music from my CDs?

 Once you have installed MusicMatch Jukebox on your computer, launch the program by clicking the MusicMatch icon

on your desktop. (This icon will have been created in the installation process.)

 To record a digital music file (either an MP3 of Windows Media Audio) put an audio CD in your CD-Rom drive. The first time you record, the program will go through a quick initialization process track titles, artist name and album name of the CD in the CD-Rom will be automatically entered using CDDB connected to the Internet and CDDB returns no information, you will need to input this information manually by double clicking the track number to highlight it, and using your keyboard to type the information into the Recorder screen. The same is true if you are not connected to the Internet. If you do not name song files before recording, they will be named as seen in the Recorder screen, i.e. Track 1 and so on.

 To select the tracks you want to record, either click the white box associated with a specific track(s) or click 'All' to record all tracks on the CD. The record control buttons are available are as follows:

for enhanced recording options.

. If you are connected to the Internet,

. If you are

 Stop record

 Pause record

 Eject CD

 The recording progress will be shown in the 'Recording Status' window as well beside the track currently recording. This tells you how quickly you are recording, and what percentage of the track you have recorded. You will receive a green box at the end of the recording progress bar if the song has recorded successfully. The time it takes to record a track varies depending on your system and your selected record settings. These settings let you determine whether you will record a Windows Media Audio or MP3 file, compression rate, file name and much more. See the section:

IIII----JAM

JAM Tip How to Maximize Space on Your MMC!

JAMJAM

The Recording settings also let you choose between WMA and MP3.

*I-JAM TIP!

Use the Jam-Station as an additional Hard Drive! You can use your favorite software programs to save files of any kind onto your Jam Station. Use it to backup your data or just keep files in an easy to handle memory card with 16 to 32 MB storage! However, the actual I-JAM MP3 player could only recognize, and play MP3 files.

Power Requirements:

The I-JAM requires two AAA batteries. Please follow the diagram to be sure that the polarities of the batteries are correct. Installing them incorrectly may cause damage to your unit. Under normal operating conditions, the life of the batteries should last approximately 12 hours. A battery icon located at the bottom right-hand corner of the LCD screen indicates the battery strength. Three bars indicate that the batteries are at full strength. A LOW BATTERY warning will show on the screen when the batteries are nearly exhausted.
