2330 - SCORPION OPERATOR MANUAL

PRECAUTIONS

Important - Please Read

& Never block the front and/or rear vents as they allow air to flow correctly through the

player preventing overheating. For optimal performance please ensure sufficient ventilation if installed in an enclosed cabinet as heat must be allowed to disperse from the unit.

& Never use or store the unit in places that are subject to temperature extremes (e.g.

direct sunlight, in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment);

& Never use or store the unit in damp areas (e.g. baths, washrooms, on wet floors) or

in high humidity or areas that may be exposed to rain.

& Do not expose the player to high levels of vibration. & Do not put strain on any of the plugs. & Do not overload power outlets (maximum output 1000 Watts). & Do not overload the speaker outputs.

Speaker Outputs Minimum Load Impedance: 1 Pair of Speakers 4 Ohms (minimum)

2 Pairs of Speakers 8 Ohms (minimum) 3 Pairs of Speakers 16 Ohms (minimum)

& Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit. & Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it. Refer all servicing to the

nearest authorised Vertek service centre.

& Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind

(water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

& The unit must be powered off via the supplied remote control or software shutdown.

Simply removing power from the unit by pulling the plug does not allow time for the hard drive to position it's heads safely and risks hard drive damage or software corruption.

& Wait at least 10 seconds after switching the unit off before switching it back on to

allow time for the internal capacitors to discharge.

& Make sure the unit is switched off when connecting or disconnecting all peripherals

except a USB flash drive. USB flash drives must not be connected until the unit is fully running.

& Some lighting sources such as electronic fluorescent lamps can generate

interference to the infrared receiver which may cause poor remote control range.

2330 - SCORPION OPERATOR MANUAL

MAIN FEATURES

The 2330 Digital Media Player is a professional digital audio visual playback device which incorporates the Scorpion digital jukebox software.

Equally at home in a party hire environment or coin operated, Scorpion is easy to operate with only 4 user screens and a handful of buttons on each screen.

Minimal connection to external equipment is required to get the 2330 up and running. The amplifiers are built in which means goodbye to the incompatibilities which plague other digital jukeboxes.

The 2330 hard drive is mounted using silicon shock absorbers to increase reliability in a commercial environment.

The software is highly customisable through the powerful but intuitive administration section. The administration section has been designed to be easy to use by operators, not computer buffs, with plain English descriptions and multiple choice settings.

The Scorpion administration section includes memory slots which allow saving commonly used settings and recalling them with just a couple of selections

User interface is through a simple 8 button touch pad controller or you may use a touch screen.

An infrared remote control is supplied which allows full control of all settings. Scorpion incorporates extensive logging with automatic summary generation to

allow you to profile the daily use and operation of the system. Logs are easily retrieved by connecting a standard USB flash drive to one of the front USB ports. This process only takes a few seconds and can be done while servicing the system.

Three video outputs allow direct connection of up to 3 televisions. By connecting an optional RF modulator, an unlimited number of TVs may be connected.

Still picture advertisements can be shown to promote your own business or you can sell advertising space as an extra revenue generator.

The user interface is highly customisable with various themes, including adding your own logo and message to the player screens.
