Issue: 

Under certain limited conditions, a bookkeeping error may occur that 
causes a Megatouch-connected TouchTunes jukebox to record double 
the correct amount of money in its bookkeeping functions for remote 
jukebox plays. 

Games Affected: 

This issue has been reported where U.S. version Megatouch systems 
are connected via Gamelink to TouchTunes jukeboxes, and where 
BOTH of the following conditions exist: 

1) The 

Quick Price Setup feature on the Megatouch is being used. 

-AND- 

2)  The selected setup is “4 credits for $1”. 

Symptoms: 

To determine if your system is affected, please conduct the following 
procedure: 

1)  Enter the Operator Setup on the Megatouch. 

2) Touch 

Credits/Pricing. 

3) Touch 

Quick Price Setup. 

4) Touch 

4 Credits for $1.00 (see Figure 1).

8)  At the jukebox, activate the Operator menu and navigate to the 

Money 

Æ Bookkeeping menu. 

9)  Record the “Linked Coinage” value displayed (see Figure 2). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10)  Initiate a remote play from the Megatouch. If your system is affected, 

Linked Coinage for the remote play will be double the correct amount 
on the jukebox’s Bookkeeping screen. 

Solution: 

This issue will cease to occur when the credit settings are configured 
manually on the Megatouch. To do so, please follow these steps: 

1)  Enter Operator Setup on the Megatouch. 

2) Touch 

Credits/Pricing. 

3) Touch 

Coin-In. 

4)  Manually configure your credit settings. 

5) Touch 

Main Menu at the top-center of the screen. 

6) Touch 

TouchTunes. 

7)  Set “Merit Credits per Song” to any desired value. 

8)  To verify the success of this process, initiate a remote play from the 

Megatouch. If this procedure has been successful, coinage for a 
linked play will be recorded correctly on the jukebox’s Bookkeeping 
screen – i.e. the value specified on the Merit “Value of Credit” menu. 

 

NOTES: 

- 

If the Coin-In table is set up for bonus credits, the TouchTunes unit selects the most expensive 
credits to use. 

- 

Wireless linking of Megatouch systems and TouchTunes jukeboxes is not supported.
