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.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
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.)

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 Preferences
This screen allows you to select your dialing preferences, including dialing method,
diailing prefix, and call waiting disable, and ignore dial tone.
Dialing method – Tone or pulse. Check with your phone company if you are not sure
which one you have.
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.

SELECT button.
• INFO - Displays detailed track information (transport status, play mode, elapsed track
time).

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:

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.

so that you can navigate and select an item.
