Important concepts
Wiring overview
Audio Input
Ovation can accept input from a microphone and an external sound
source. For instructions on how to make these connections, refer to the
Ovation Operator’s Manual.
Jukebox registration
To avoid unauthorized use of the jukebox, each jukebox has a registration
number assigned to it. To activate the jukebox, you must enter its
registration number. The jukebox then calls the TouchTunes server to
validate the number. If the registration number is valid, the server
activates the jukebox. If not, the jukebox remains inoperative.
Once a jukebox has been activated, all jukebox features come into effect.
Sleep mode
Sleep mode provides a way for operators to temporarily deactivate the
jukebox so it can be moved to a new location. Before the jukebox is
moved, it is placed into sleep mode. After arrival at its new location, the
jukebox must be re-activated using the appropriate registration number.
Important: Sleep mode must always be used when moving the jukebox.
Nightly song queue purge
This feature automatically deletes all unplayed songs that are in the queue
if the jukebox is turned off (using the Night Mode button) for more than
four hours. This way, when the jukebox is turned back on, a location is not
forced to play songs queued up the previous evening.
The four hour time period can be customized in the range of 1 to 14 hours.
To do this, you must contact the Touchtunes service hotline at 1-888-711-
5853.
This feature is on by default. To turn it off you must contact the
Touchtunes service hotline.
Nightly communications
Every night the jukebox calls the TouchTunes server. This call serves
several important purposes:
• Reports daily income: TouchTunes uses this information to calculate
revenue for the jukebox.
• Reports the number of plays for each song: This is required so that
TouchTunes can track its royalty obligations and make the
appropriate payments to music publishers.
• Downloads updates to the jukebox software (if required): This
ensures that whenever updates are available, all jukeboxes in the field
are automatically upgraded.
• Downloads new songs: Operators can create a list of songs they
want to add to the jukebox and the songs are automatically
downloaded when the jukebox calls the server. The jukebox also has a
Vote for Download feature. When enabled, it allows customers to
vote for their favorite songs. The song that obtains the most votes
every week is downloaded and added to the jukebox. If you signed up
for the revenue enhancement program, TouchTunes automatically
manages the songs on the jukebox for maximum profitability during
the nightly call.
• The jukebox uses the Internet to communicate with the TouchTunes
server. Using the area code of the location’s phone number, the
jukebox determines the nearest ISP (Internet service provider) to call.
Failure to communicate
A jukebox that fails to communicate with the TouchTunes server will
eventually be disabled. This occurs as follows:
• If the jukebox fails to communicate with the TouchTunes server for
several consecutive days, a red telephone icon appears in the top
right corner of the Attract screen. This warning icon will appear for
the next few days. If you touch this icon, the jukebox displays the
message “This jukebox will be disabled in XX days.”
• When the jukebox becomes inoperable, instead of the Attract screen
you will see the message “This jukebox has been deactivated. Please
contact your operator.”

Installing the phone line
Ovation requires an analog telephone line to communicate with the
TouchTunes server. Once connected, Ovation will call out once daily at the
time you specify (typically during non-business hours). This daily
communication is critical for proper operation. It enables Ovation to
retrieve system software updates and download new music.
Ovation can usually share an existing phone line with other devices, such
as phones, fax machines, or alarm systems. A dedicated phone line is not
necessary. However, some devices, such as computerized telephones,
lottery terminals, and ATMs, can cause conflicts on a shared line. You can
usually resolve these conflicts by contacting the operator of the other
equipment and coordinating call and answer times.
• Alarm systems: Most current alarm systems communicate over
telephone wiring. These systems usually have the telephone line
connected directly from the demarcation point (service entry) to the
input side of the alarm. Telephones and Ovation should be connected
to the phone side of the alarm.
• Digital phone systems: If the location has a digital phone system, the
Ovation phone line must be connected to the analog line in front of
the digital phone system.
Running a new phone cable
Note: As of February 1, 1996, the telephone company states, for singleline residence or business telephone service, that the owner is
responsible for the installation and maintenance of telephone wiring
after the demarcation point.
In most cases, you will need to run a new phone cable from the
demarcation point (also known as the telephone network interface, or
service entry) to the spot where Ovation will be installed.
The demarcation point is located where the outside phone line enters the
building. By running new, quality cable directly from this point to Ovation,
you can avoid potential problems caused by existing wire connections
that may be poorly made.
Recommended parts and tools
• Phone line polarity tester (available at Radio Shack).
• Phone cable with RJ11 connectors (7' long). Used to connect Ovation
to the phone jack.
• Four-conductor telephone modular wall jack.
• Four-conductor round telephone cable. Used to connect the phone
line from the demarcation point to the wall jack.
• Any analog phone without filters or a Butt-in set. Used to listen to the
newly installed phone line.
Installation tips
• Always use good quality cable and make the cable run as short as
possible. This will cut down on potential problems with line noise.
• Avoid using phone line splitters to tap into an existing jack.
• Make sure that the phone line is not routed over or near fluorescent
or neon lights. Electrical noise generated by these devices can
interfere with the phone line.
• It is not uncommon for a telephone line to pick up a radio station. To
diagnose this problem, use a cheap telephone without filtering, or a
Butt-In set. You must determine if the noise is on the telephone
company's equipment or being picked up on the inside wiring.
Disconnect the inside wiring at the demarcation point. If the noise
disappears, it is on the phone company's wiring and they must fix it.
• Wire both ends of the phone cable to the same colors (as indicated).
The jukebox generally uses the red and green wires for its phone line.
Typically, the green wire has positive electrical polarity and the red
wire is negative.
• Once installation is complete, use a polarity tester to verify the line.
• Make a call to any 877 prefix toll free number to ensure that calls to
this prefix are not blocked.

Location
CAUTION: Telephone wires typically carry low voltage, but if
you are touching the wires when the phone rings, you can
receive a substantial jolt. Enough current is still sent through
the line to activate the old style mechanical ringing devices.
Do not work on phone lines during a thunder storm, since an
electrical strike can send excessive current down the line.
To minimize the risk, always make the connection to the live
phone line or to the demarcation point after you have
completed all other connections.

Starting Ovation
1 Startup
Turn on the power switch on the rear of the jukebox.
Once power is applied, Ovation will display a series of startup
messages, then the startup screen will open.
Icons at the bottom of the screen appear as each subsystem is
initialized. Total startup time can be up to 5 minutes. (The first time
the jukebox starts it may take longer, 5 to 15 minutes, depending on
the number of songs on the hard drive.) If the jukebox pauses on
any icon for more than five minutes, a problem may have occurred.
2 Calibrate the touchscreen
The Calibration screen opens.
To properly calibrate the touchscreen, stand directly in front of the
jukebox as a customer would and follow the onscreen directions.
3 Initialize screen
Once all subsystems are initialized the Initialize screen opens.
Touch NEXT to start the installation procedure.
4 Provide phone and calling information
The Phone Settings screen opens.
a. In the
CALLING WINDOW box, set the time during which the
jukebox can use the phone line to call the TouchTunes server.
Time is specified using military time (i.e., 00:00 equals
midnight).
The more time you make available, the more songs the jukebox
will be able to download. It takes about 20 to 25 minutes to
download a single song. The busiest time for the TouchTunes
server is between 4 and 8 AM Eastern time. If you can set your
jukebox to call outside this time, you may get better
throughput.
•
TIME OF DAY TO BEGIN CONNECTION: Set this to one half hour
after the location is locked up for the night (i.e., the time the
last person leaves and locks the front door). The half hour
gives you a buffer in case things are running late one night.
•
TIME OF DAY TO END CONNECTION: Set this to one half hour
before the earliest person arrives and enters the location.
b. If using a dial-up connection, enable the
DIAL-UP option and set the following parameters:
Page 8
8 of 12
• WAIT FOR DAILTONE: Disable this option if the location has a
voice mail service installed on its line. When disabled, the
jukebox will not check for a dial tone before dialing out,
instead it will pause for two seconds then begin dialing.
•
DIAL 9 FOR EXTERNAL LINE: Enable this option if 9 needs to be
dialed to access an external line. For example, if a PBX is
installed at the location.
•
TONE DIALING: If the location uses pulse dialing, turn this
option off.
•
CUSTOM DIAL PREFIX: If an outgoing prefix needs to be dialed
before the phone number, touch the
CONFIGURE button, then
use the numeric keypad to enter the prefix.
• If the location has call waiting, you should enter the prefix to
disable it. In most cases this is *70. You may need to add a
pause to the end of this sequence, as sometimes there is a
delay before the dial tone returns. Use the # key to enter a
pause. For example, the sequence *70## disables call
waiting and then pauses twice before continuing to dial.
c. If using a broadband connection, enable the
BROADBAND option
and set the following parameters:
•
THROTTLE BANDWIDTH: Enable this option to limit the total
amount of bandwidth the jukebox will use. Touch the
+ and -
buttons to increase or decrease the limit.
d.
LOCATION INFORMATION identifies the jukebox to the TouchTunes
server. Touch the
CONFIGURE button next to each of the
following parameters to set them.
•
LOCATION NAME: Specify the name of the location.
•
TYPE OF LOCATION: Choose a type from the list.
•
LOCATION PHONE NUMBER: Enter the phone number of the
location. If you are in your shop, enter the phone number of
your shop. Later you will change this number to that of the
location.
Note: The jukebox uses the phone number you enter to
determine the most cost-effective way to call the TouchTunes
server. If you enter an incorrect number, it could result in
unnecessary charges on the location’s phone bill.
•
TIME ZONE: Choose the time zone that the location is in.
e. Touch NEXT.
5 Specify the registration password
Enter the registration password and touch CALL.
The password should have been sent to you by fax prior to delivery
of the jukebox. If you did not receive your password, call TouchTunes
at 1-888-711-5853.
6 Monitor the call to the TouchTunes server
The jukebox will now dial out and attempt to connect to the
TouchTunes server. The Diagnostic screen opens, enabling you to
monitor the progress of the call. A successful call should take about
ten minutes to complete.
If the call fails, you will see an error message indicating the problem
that occurred. Refer to the Ovation Operator’s Manual for a
description of all error messages and advice on how to correct them.
The following screen shows a call in progress.
Page 9

If you successfully connected to the TouchTunes server and the
registration password you entered was correct, communications will
automatically finish and the
Attract screen will open. (If the
password was incorrect, you will be prompted to enter it again.)
Ovation is now operational.
7 Activate the Operator Menu
The Operator menu enables you to configure all Ovation settings. To
activate the Operator menu, press and release a manager button.
Two are available. One is located on the left side of the jukebox top

• AUX: Controls the gain applied to an external line level
signal connected to the auxiliary inputs on the rear panel.
• BGM: Controls the gain applied to songs played by the
background music option.
Final output volume is controlled by the VOLUME slider.
The sound you hear during normal operation is governed by
these two rules:
a. The JUKEBOX sound source is played whenever there are
songs in the play queue. It can only be interrupted by:
• Pressing the PAUSE button on the remote control. This also
switches to the AUX sound source if one is connected.
• Pressing the TALK button on a connected microphone. This
fades down the JUKEBOX according to the setting for MIC
TALK-OVER JUKEBOX.
b. The jukebox automatically switches to the AUX source if the
jukebox is not in use and no song is currently playing, or the
jukebox was paused using the remote control.

In the CREDIT RULES SET box, touch DEFAULT_SET.
b. In the SET PLAYS column, set the number of plays for each
level.
c. In the SET PRICE column, set the dollar amount for each level.
Note: The average price per song must decrease at each level.
The jukebox will automatically determine if the pricing you set
follows this rule. If not, the prices that are in error are displayed
in red and the BACK button disappears. You cannot exit this
screen until all price levels are valid.
d. Once you have set valid plays and pricing for all levels, touch
CONFIRM to store them, or touch CANCEL to return to
previously saved prices.
3 When you are done

playing song is not counted.)
b. Turn on RANDOM MODE to have the jukebox play back songs
randomly, rather than in the order they were selected.
3 Configure Attract mode
When enabled, this feature causes the jukebox to automatically play
a song when it has been idle for a specified amount of time. For
details on scheduling, see the Ovation Operator’s Manual.
4 Configure Background music
This feature lets you define certain times during the week that the
jukebox will randomly play songs. You have control over the day and
time songs are played, how they are selected, and the volume level at
which they are played. Background music automatically stops if a
customer plays a song. It will automatically resume once the play
queue is empty. For details on scheduling background music, see the
Ovation Operator’s Manual.
5 Configure the Vote for download feature
When this feature is enabled, customers are prompted to vote for

paid selection. When the voting period expires, the song with the
most votes is downloaded.
6 Enable the Top 10 feature
When this feature is enabled, customers are able to select a song
from the ten most popular songs on the jukebox. The Top 10 icon is
only visible when a minimum of 10 songs on the jukebox have been
played at least once. This ensures that at least ten “top” songs exist.
7 Set the Song length limit
This option enables you to limit the playing time of songs.
When a song reaches the limit you set, it is faded out.

Enable the remote control
The remote control is RF-based. This eliminates the need to point it
directly at the jukebox when using it. It has a range of up to 200 feet
depending on the type of the obstructions between it and the jukebox.
Concrete and metal provide more of a barrier than wood or plaster. It can
also be affected by interference from other RF-based devices.
The remote control is powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries. Insert the
batteries in the compartment on the rear of the remote. Use only highquality alkaline batteries.

Explain operation to location staff
It is important that location personnel are familiar with the operation of
Ovation. Take a few minutes to cover the following topics with them.
Coin and bill mechanism
The jukebox accepts only $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills (old and new) four
ways, and US 25 cent and $1 coins.
Power
• Show the Night Mode switch on rear of jukebox.
• Explain that the Night Mode button turns off the jukebox monitor and
audio subsystem only. The computer inside the jukebox is always
running since it calls TouchTunes every night. For this reason, the
jukebox should never be turned off by pulling its plug or shutting
circuit breakers that cut power to its wall outlet.
• Explain that pushing the on/off button on the remote is the same as
pushing the Night Mode button.
Volume buttons
Show the backup volume control buttons on the rear of the jukebox and
explain that they can be used if the remote is broken, lost, or low on
battery power.
Customer interface
• Show how a song is selected and is played.
• Explain credit settings and the schedule you have set for them.
• Explain the following features if enabled: vote for download and
promotional game.
Songs
• Explain random play and overplay modes if you have enabled them.
• Mention that new songs can be added to the jukebox as needed. Staff
will know what customers want to hear and will be able to give you
valuable information in this regard.
• Explain that the jukebox calls out on the phone line every night (after
business hours) and that this is how songs are added. Indicate the
time range you set for the nightly call and caution staff against
picking up the phone during this period as it can disrupt
communications. If the jukebox is interrupted during a call it will
recover, sometimes by calling again. However, if the nightly call fails
for any reason, a phone icon will appear on the Attract screen. Staff
should call you if this occurs.
• Explain that if the jukebox is turned off (using the Night Mode button
on the rear) for more than four hours, the song queue is purged.
Attract mode/background music
Explain how attract mode and background music work and the schedule
you have set for them.
Remote control
Explain that the remote does not need to be pointed directly at the
jukebox, and will function through walls and other obstructions. Concrete
and metal provide more of a barrier than wood or plaster. The remote
control can also be affected by interference from other RF-based devices.
Remote key assignments and functionality
The keys on the remote are pre-programmed for the following functions.
