Things to Consider Before Connecting Components

Protect Components From Power Surges

• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference

• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

• Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the back after connecting components.

•Try not to coil any twin-lead antenna cables and keep them away from all cables as much as possible.

• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit for detailed information.

Protect Components From Overheating

• Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Do not stack components.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.

• Place an amplifier or other hot component on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.

Connecting your Home Theater Music Jukebox

1. Connect the Music Jukebox to the TV

Connect the VIDEO OUT jack from the Music Jukebox to the video input on the back of your TV. If your TV has line-level audio out jacks (red and white connectors) and you want to listen to your TV programming in full surround sound, connect them to the desired audio input jacks on the back of your Music Jukebox.

Note: If your TV has an S-Video input or component video input, we recommend you make the video connection by using these jacks instead.

2. Connect the telephone line or Ethernet cable to the Music Jukebox.

Connect the telephone line cord or Ethernet cable from the wall jack to the MODEM or ETHERNET jack on your Music Jukebox. For Ethernet connections, make sure you use the supplied Ethernet cable with attached ferrite core filter. Using other Ethernet cables may cause interference.

Very Important: You must connect a telephone line or Ethernet cable to use many of the features of this unit. If the Music Jukebox can’t connect to the OpenGlobe server, you won’t be able to access artist information, CD cover art, buy CDs from OpenGlobe services, radio information, etc.

If you’re not connected through Ethernet, make sure you select the modem in the setup menus (see page 12).

3. Connect your Cable Box or Satellite Receiver to the Music Jukebox.

If you have a cable box or satellite receiver, you may want to connect it to your Music Jukebox. Connect the audio output jacks from your cable box or receiver to the AUDIO SAT IN jacks on the Music Jukebox. Then connect the video out on the cable box or receiver to the VIDEO SAT IN jack on the Music Jukebox.

Note: If your cable box or satellite receiver has an S-Video output, we recommend you make the video connection by using this jack instead.

4. Plug the power cord into the power jack on the back of the Music Jukebox and the other end into an AC outlet.

Positioning your Speakers

Your system is equipped with Dolby Digital and DTS (Digital Theater System) decoding, which enables the unit to reproduce sound effects as they were intended. However, the speakers must be properly positioned and balanced. In order to enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS-enhanced sound quality, six speakers are recommended: One center speaker, left and right main speakers, rear left and right speakers, and a subwoofer. A subwoofer is recommended to enjoy improved bass effects. Below are a few suggestions for the set up:

1. The two main speakers should be set between six and ten feet apart. Putting them any closer or farther apart may result in reduced separation of the surround sound effects.

2. Try to align the center speaker and two main speakers, or set the center speaker slightly behind the left and right main speakers, otherwise the sound separation may be affected.

3. Aim the rear speakers directly at the two main speakers, matching height to height. If the room is sparsely decorated, slightly tilt the speakers down to increase sound quality. If the room is densely decorated, face the speakers towards the rear wall at the ceiling. For more information on speaker setup, please refer to Connecting the Speakers on the next page.

4. You can increase or decrease the bass effects by moving the subwoofer closer or farther away from a wall or corner of the room. (You may want to experiment with this until you get the sound you want.)

Here is an example of how you could position your speakers. There are many possible options, and you may want to experiment to find the right balance for you.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Connecting the Speakers

For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and subwoofer are preferred. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response. If you want to enjoy a full frequency range of sound effects, it is recommended to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal for the surround sound effect.

Speaker cords, 1 for each speaker, are needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Snap the tab closed. To ease speaker connections, the speaker cords and the terminals are color-coded into: Red/Black (Main Speakers), Blue/Black (Center Speaker) and Grey/ Black (Rear Speakers). Use the black wires for the negative terminal connections. When connecting the speakers, make sure the colors of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass.

Connecting the Antennas

The AM and FM antennas connect to the AM and FM terminals on the system’s back panel. They must be hooked up in order to receive clear reception. Uncoil the antenna wires and locate the bare ends. Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Snap the tab closed. After

connecting the antennas, extend them to their full length and adjust their positioning for better reception. Remember to place your antenna wires away from speakers wires and any cables for best reception.

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer with the audio cord (brown/ black) provided. If you want to connect your own powered subwoofer, refer to the owner’s manual for the subwoofer.

Dialing prefix – If you normally need to dial a prefix (1, 9, etc.) to make a call, enter it here. You may also need to enter a 1 for 800 numbers.

Disable call waiting – If you have call waiting on your phone line, you may want to disable it during your dialup session to prevent interruptions to your connection. Several options are available, depending on which key combination your phone company uses (*70, 70#, and 1170). It is automatically re-enabled after you disconnect from the OpenGlobe server.

Ignore dial tone – If you have voice mail on your phone line, you are probably familiar with the “stuttered” dial tone you hear when you have messages. Before the Music Jukebox dials your ISP, it checks the line for a regular dial tone. If you have messages, the Music Jukebox will disconnect and allow you to listen to your messages, or you can set it to ignore the dial tone and dial automatically.

Highlight next and press OK/SELECT to continue to the next screen.

Testing the Dialup Connection

In the Dialing Preferences screen, highlight test connection and press OK/SELECT. The test results are displayed.

Highlight return, and press OK/SELECT to continue.

Chapter 2: Music Features

Playing Music

The Home Theater Music Jukebox puts your entire music collection at your fingertips. In this section you’ll learn how to navigate the Music Player screen and sort, select, and listen to your favorite music. It’s as simple as cuing up something from your library, or putting in a CD to add something new to your collection. You’ll learn more about how to record new music to your library in the next section, but for now let’s look at how the player works.

Some Terms and Definitions You’ll See in the Following Chapters

There may be a few terms used in the next few chapters you may not be familiar with. Take a minute to familiarize yourself with them. Playlist — Your customized collection of songs that you can set in any order or include any song. Track — An individual song. Group — Think of this as a collection of musical genres (Country, Rock, Classical, etc.). Title — Think of this as a complete CD album (including every track on the CD, for example). MP3 track — A track you have recorded or “ripped” from a CD and is stored on the Music Jukebox’s hard drive.

Navigating the Music Player Screen

• The Music Player screen appears whenever you insert a CD or select a track from the

Music Guide.

• Arrow buttons - Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the highlight from one

track to another. The right and left buttons are not used on the Music Player screen.

• OK/SELECT - When a track is highlighted, stops playing the selected track and starts

playing the highlighted track. You can also play the track by pressing the PLAY button.

•PAGE +, PAGE- - Scroll the music player track list one page at a time. Each page

contains 12 different tracks. On a page that contains less than 12 tracks, the bottom rows will be empty.

• Number buttons - Enter a track number using the number buttons, then press the

SELECT button.

• INFO - Displays detailed track information (transport status, play mode, elapsed track

time).

• RECORD - Starts recording an MP3. See the next chapter for details.

• PLAY, PAUSE, and STOP - Plays, pauses, or stops music. An on-screen status appears

each time the button is pressed.

• FAST FORWARD and REWIND - Fast forward and rewind a track. Both stop when the

beginning or end of a track is reached. An on-screen status appears each time the button is pressed.

There are a number of ways to play music:

• Open the disc tray and insert an audio CD. The Music Jukebox plays the CD, connects to

the internet to identify the disc, loads the information into the music library, displays the track list, title artist, and cover art in the Music Player View.

• Use the GUIDE button on the remote. The Music Jukebox displays the Music Guide View

so that you can navigate and select an item.

Selecting and Listening to a Music Title

1. Press the MUSIC button on your remote.

2. Press GUIDE. The Music Guide screen appears.

3. Use the left and right arrow buttons to highlight the group of your choice.

4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the desired music title.

5. Press SELECT to display a list of the tracks on the highlighted CD or PLAY to play the highlighted CD (the title tracks and cover art appear in the Player screen and the music plays.)

Sorting Music by Artist, Title, Song, Alphabetically

1. Press the MUSIC button on your remote.

2. Press GUIDE. The Music Guide screen appears.

3. To sort by artist, title, or song, highlight and select the View Mode button on the screen and then highlight and select the desired view.

Chapter 2: Music Features

Recording Music

Music Compression and MP3 Audio Quality

When you create an MP3 file from a CD song, you compress the information so that it takes up less space on the hard drive. The compression technology can use varying sample rates of the song, or bit rates, in which it chooses which bits of musical information to keep and which to ignore. At high bit rates, you can match the quality of the song very closely, which should be the goal for the best representation of the music.

The Music Jukebox’s default bit rate is 128kbps, which is near CD quality. Again, the higher the bit rate, the better the performance, so you’ll want to rip the song as close to 128kbps as possible. You can choose bit rates anywhere from 96kbps-320kbps. Keep in mind, however, that the higher the bit rate, the larger the MP3 file becomes and the more space it will use on the hard drive.

The default record bitrate can be changed by pressing the SETUP button and using the Preferences menu settings.

Recording Music from a CD

Recording a CD to the Jukebox takes just 3 simple steps.

1. Press the Open/Close button on the front of the unit and insert a CD into the CD disc tray. Press the button again to close the tray.

The Music Jukebox then connects to the OpenGlobe server for all available information (including cover art and track listing).

2. Press RECORD (the Music Record screen appears). All tracks appear with a check mark to the right to indicate they will be recorded.

• To remove or add all of the tracks, highlight the title of the CD and press GO BACK

(all tracks will be checked or unchecked).

• To remove or add a single track, use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight a

track, then press OK/SELECT to remove or add it (the track will be checked or unchecked).

• To exit the Music Record screen, press STOP.

3. When finished selecting or deselecting tracks, press RECORD (all of the selected tracks are recorded to the hard drive).

Note: You can also press RECORD while playing the CD.

The Music Record Progress screen appears and indicates how long the record process will take, with a progress bar at the bottom of the screen and remaining time. Please be patient. This may take several minutes.

After a few minutes, a screen saver appears. To return to the Music Record Progress screen press any arrow button.

Important: Do not attempt any other functions during the record process.

Note: If a warning appears stating that there isn’t enough space on the hard drive, you will need to remove some of the songs, or make room on the hard drive.

• To cancel recording at any time, press STOP. All tracks that have been completely “ripped” will be saved. Tracks that have been partially recorded or have not yet started will be deleted.

When recording is complete (or cancelled), the Music Guide screen will be displayed, with the newly recorded title highlighted.

4. Go ahead and record a couple more tracks or titles of different musical styles. This

Playlist icon

MP3 icon

will be useful for understanding how to manage your music and find it easily later.

Note: Keep in mind that you may see two icons in the Music Guide screen for the same song/title if a CD you just recorded is in the disc tray, one for the CD and one for the MP3 stored on the hard drive. Once you eject the CD, the CD icon will disappear.

Regional Coding

Chapter 3: Movie Features

This DVD player is capable of playing the following types of discs: DVDs, audio CDs, DVD-Audio, and MP3 CDs. Before you put a disc in the player, make sure it is compatible.

You can’t play the following types of discs: Laserdiscs, CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), DVD-ROM, WMA discs, or discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM).

Note: Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and disc design.

This is an example of a one-sided disc.

(

)

This is an example of a two-sided disc – the title is usually in the center of the disc.

Both the Home Theater Music Jukebox’s DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This player’s code is region 1.

Using Different Menus

Each disc is programmed with different features. There are two separate types of menus that you can use to access features:

• The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player’s menu. The contents of each Disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features are included.

The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the DVD MENU button on the bottom of the remote.

• The Music Jukebox’s DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top of the screen when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote.

Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If Operation Not Permitted appears at the bottom of the screen, that item (or feature) isn’t available.

To Load and Play a DVD Disc

Turn on the TV and your Home Theater Music Jukebox (press MOVIES on the remote or press the Power button on front of the unit).

1. If necessary, tune the TV to its Video Input Channel (if you need more information, go to page 10).

2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (the disc tray opens).

3. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have content on both sides, so you can place either side up).

4. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button. The disc tray closes. The Music Jukebox reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one of two things happens depending on how the disc was programmed:

• The disc starts playing.

• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc play. Highlight that option and press OK.

When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the disc again, the Music Jukebox’s DVD player picks up where you left off unless the disc is removed or the unit is unplugged, or if you press the STOP button twice.

Remote Control Problems

•You might be in the wrong mode. To operate your Music Jukebox, press MUSIC, MOVIE, or RADIO on the remote before you press any other buttons. If you’re operating the TV, press the TV button first, etc. (this remote operates most RCA, GE, and Proscan products and can be programmed for others).

• Check battery installation—the direction on the + and - on the batteries must match the information in the battery compartment cover.

• Insert new batteries in the remote and reprogram, if necessary.

• Operate the remote control at a distance of no more than 20 feet.

• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the Music Jukebox or other component. If your Music Jukebox is in an entertainment cabinet, the glass doors might obstruct the remote control from operating the unit. Open the doors.

• Maybe the remote isn’t aimed directly at the component that you’re trying to operate.

•You might need to reset the remote: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60 seconds. Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.

General DVD Problems

Disc won’t play

• Insert a disc with the label side facing up.

• Check the type of disc you put into the player. This player only plays DVD video discs, DVD audio discs, CDs with mp3 files, and audio CDs.

• Both the player and the disc are coded by region. If the regional codes don’t match, the disc cannot be played. This player is Region No. 1.

Play starts, but then stops immediately

• The disc is dirty. Clean it.

• Condensation has formed. Allow player to dry out.

Can’t advance through a movie

•You can’t advance through the opening credits and warning information that appear at the beginning of movies because the disc is programmed to prohibit that action.

Operation Not Permitted appears on screen

The feature or action cannot be completed at this time for one of the following reasons:

• The disc’s software restricts it.

• The disc’s software doesn’t support that feature (e.g., angles).

• The feature is not available at the moment.

• You’ve requested a title or chapter number that is out of range.

The picture is distorted

• The disc might be damaged. Try another disc.

Picture is distorted during forward and reverse scan

• It is normal for some distortion to appear while scanning.

A screen saver appears on the TV

•Your player is equipped with a screen saver that appears on the TV after your player has been idle for several minutes. To make it disappear, press STOP or CLEAR on the remote.

Subtitle and/or audio language is not the one selected from the initial setting

• If the subtitle and/or audio language does not exist on the disc, the initial settings will not be seen/heard. The disc’s priority language is selected instead. Set the subtitle and/or audio language manually through the Info Display.

Chapter 5 51

Page 54

Chapter 6: Additional Information

The menu is displayed in a foreign language

• The Language menu (Player Menus) is set to that language. Check the DVD preferences settings in the Setup menu.

Play doesn’t begin

• The rating of the title on the disc exceeds the rating limit set in the Movie Ratings menu.

No forward or reverse scan

• Some discs have sections that prohibit rapid scanning, or title and chapter skip.

• If you’re trying to skip through the warning information and credits at the beginning of a movie, you won’t be able to. This part of the movie is often programmed to prohibit skipping through it.

Desired angle cannot be changed

• Most discs don’t have the multi-camera angle system, and some discs only have multiple angles during certain parts of the movie.

Picture is too tall and thin

• Change the aspect ratio of the DVD preferences settings in the Setup menu.

Picture is too short and wide

• Change the aspect ratio of the DVD preferences settings in the Setup menu.

Disc won’t eject

• When you put a disc into the player, the player may take up to 15 seconds to read the disc. You won’t be able to eject the disc during this time. Wait 15 seconds and try again.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Unplug the unit before cleaning. You can clean the unit as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate

ventilation. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the unit. Avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the unit. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the decoder.

Handling Cautions

• Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn all components off.

• Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the player’s internal parts may be damaged.

• Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.

• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.

• Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.

• Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If this occurs, turn the player off and on again with the ON•OFF button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.

• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.

Maintenance of Cabinet

For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.

• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

Formation of Condensation

• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the player.

• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.

• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.

Handling Discs

• Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.

• Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.

• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Cleaning Discs

• Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.

• If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other Components

ON • OFF

VCR1

Indicator

REV•DEL

Use these buttons when you program the remote.

Important: The remote may not be compatible with all models of all brands of components. It may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

Important

You must continue pressing the component button while you enter the code.

Let’s say you have a Zenith TV. To program the universal remote to operate the TV, you would:

Press and hold the TV button while you enter the first code listed for Zenith in the TV Codes column.

Release the TV button. Press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same steps, but enter the second code for Zenith TVs instead of the first.

Note

Some of the remote’s buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you’re using another component’s menu system.

PLAY

STOP

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan components.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed for your component, turn the component ON. For example, to program the remote for a TV, turn on the TV. Point the remote at the TV, and press the TV button. Then press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel down) to see if the TV responds to the remote commands. If the component does not respond, the remote needs to be programmed.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control: direct entry and automatic code search.

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in this section.

3. Point the remote at the component. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote (TV or AUX).

4. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.

5. Release the component button, and then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.

• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.

• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t work, the remote is not compatible with your component.

Using Automatic Code Search

You can program the remote to operate each of your components. To stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press EXIT•CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.

Note: AUX can’t be programmed using the automatic code search method.

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (TV, VCR, etc.)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (TV, for example). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.

3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the device turns back ON.

2. Press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.

Chapter 6: Additional Information

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, VCR, Satellite, or Cable box) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the TV, press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode.

1. Press the appropriate component button (TV, VCR1, AUX, etc.) to set the remote to control the component.

2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes:

• The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that came with your component.

• If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the TV, press TV on the remote control to put the remote in TV mode.)
