NOTE: You should have already made arrangements to receive a hard drive for
the unit prior to delivery.  The jukebox will not function without the hard drive.

PM0378-07                                       MEGATOUCH COMBO JUKEBOX™ OWNER’S MANUAL                                                     1

Terms and Conditions

Beginning March 1st, 2005, the Merit Megatouch Combo Jukebox™ and all linked games

must be kept up to date, loaded, and operating the latest full software upgrade in order for

both music and games to be available.  If the software is no longer kept current after this

date, the unit can be run either as a game-only or music-only device.

To switch the unit to work as a game-only or music-only device once it is no longer running

the current software, press the SETUP button in the game and touch the TouchTunes®

button on the Main Menu.  You will then be prompted to choose either the  “Game Only” or

“Music Only” option.  If you choose the “Game Only” option, a message stating that this may

be in violation of the terms of the operator’s agreement with TouchTunes® will display.

Touch YES to continue with setting the unit to game-only or NO to return to the previous

screen.  If you choose the “Music Only” option, the TouchTunes® Menu will again be fully

operational.

Terms and conditions are subject to change.

Important Notes for Linked FORCE Classic Games

FORCE Classic games will not display the TouchTunes® Operator Setup properly; therefore,

the Setup should be run on the Jukebox and not the Classic game.  Also, FORCE Classic

games running FORCE 2004 software will not have the same TouchTunes® features as

the Jukebox.

2                                                        MEGATOUCH COMBO JUKEBOX™ OWNER’S MANUAL                                    PM0378-07

Site Preparation

In determining the location for your

Megatouch Combo Jukebox™, keep in mind

that it must be connected to a suitable,

grounded electrical outlet.  Since the unit is

a computerized device, it should have a sepa-

rate circuit, if at all possible.  If a separate

circuit is not available, care should be taken

to provide a clean and constant voltage.  As

a basic guideline, never connect the unit to

a circuit that also supplies power to freez-

ers, coolers or other high power-consum-

ing and electrical noise-generating equip-

ment.  Familiarity with standard wiring prac-

tices, as recognized by a government

agency in your area, is necessary.

Make sure the unit is not exposed to any

moisture or excessive heat and that there is

enough space to ensure proper ventilation.

The unit should also be located on a sturdy,

level surface.  When the two leg levellers

are extended and even, the unit should re-

main stable.

NOTE:  All units using the music li-
censed by TouchTunes® must be
placed in public, commercial, business
establishments.

Sound Zones

A sound zone is considered to be any set of

speakers that are controlled as a single unit.

A single set of speakers with the same vol-

ume control would be configured as ZONE

1, with an additional speaker set configured

as ZONE 2.  The (2) speakers included with

the Megatouch Combo Jukebox™ will be

configured as ZONE 1.

Planning the Installation

Consider the following as you decide on

jukebox and/or speaker placement:

·

volume required in the area

·

the stereo image.  The sound stage of

sound zones can vary depending on

speaker placement.

NOTE: Sometimes the physical layout
of a location makes it almost impos-
sible to create a good stereo image.  For
example, if a location has many small
interconnected rooms or if a location
is very long and narrow.  Under these
circumstances, it may be more advan-
tageous to operate all speakers in
mono.  This would enable you to cover
small rooms with one speaker instead
of two and make placement much easier
to determine.

Checking the Phone Line

The unit requires an analog telephone line to

communicate daily with the TouchTunes®

server.  Once connected, the unit will call

out once daily based on a specified time

frame determined by the operator and typi-

cally during closed hours.  The telephone

line connection is necessary to ensure soft-

ware program updates and music down-

loads.  For security reasons, the unit will be

deactivated if it fails to connect to the server

within 30 days after a phone connection is

lost.

A dedicated phone line is not necessary, as

you should be able to share an existing lo-

cation phone line.  However, depending on

the quality of the existing line in the location,

the type of phone services it supports, and

the other equipment making use of the line,

you may or may not be able to make use of

this existing telephone line.

NOTE: It is crucial that the jukebox have
access to a noise-free telephone line.  If
you connect the jukebox to a substan-
dard line, it will result in communica-
tions problems including repeated call
failures and slow downloads.  This will
impact your ability to add songs to the
jukebox and receive new software up-
dates, as well as cause additional main-
tenance for you.  It is best to get this
correct during installation to avoid
recurring problems.

Sharing a Phone Line

In most cases, the jukebox can success-

fully share the existing phone line with other

PM0378-07                                       MEGATOUCH COMBO JUKEBOX™ OWNER’S MANUAL                                                     3

devices, such as phones, fax machines, or

alarm systems.  However, some devices,

such as computerized telephones, lottery

terminals, and ATMs, can cause problems

on a shared line.  You can usually resolve

these conflicts by contacting the operator

of the other equipment and coordinating call

and answer times.

Sharing the Line with an Alarm

System

Most current Alarm Systems communicate

over telephone wiring.  These locations

should have the telephone line from the ser-

vice entry going to the input side of the alarm

and the telephones connected to the phone

side of the alarm.

Sharing the Line with a Digital Phone

System

If a location has a digital phone system, the

jukebox telephone line must be connected

to the analog line in front of the phone sys-

tem.

Description

The Megatouch Combo Jukebox™ mea-

sures 72” H X 27” W X 30” D and has three

key-locked compartments:  the PC shelf sec-

tion (front door),  the coin box door, and the

rear door.  It is equipped with a coin mech

and bill stacker, and an optional credit card

swipe is also available.

In addition to the supplied speakers, the unit

can be connected to an existing sound sys-

tem or a Remote Sound System purchased

from Merit Industries.  The Remote Sound

System includes an additional amplifier,

subwoofer, and (2) satellite speakers.

Power Switches

The unit is equipped with two main power

switches.  The switch on the outside of the

unit affects the game only.  The interior

switch is mounted above the cooling fan on

the left side (if you are facing the rear of the

unit) and is accessible through the rear door.

This switch affects both the game and the

jukebox.  

The interior switch should

remain on at all times unless the unit

is being moved or serviced

, since turn-

ing off the jukebox component will prevent

communication with the TouchTunes®

server.

NOTE: The power switch on the Single
Board Computer (see Figure 1) should
always remain on.

Rear Compartment

The rear compartment of the unit allows ac-

cess to the rear of the monitor and the touch-

screen controller, as well as the interior

power switch.

CPU Section

The CPU section houses the motherboard,

I/O board, power supply, hard drive,

centronics connector, and main harness.

These components are accessible through

the front door.  See Figure 1.

Single Board Computer (SBC)

The single board computer (SBC) is the main

jukebox component and is located on the

first shelf inside the unit (see Figure 1).  The

SBC is equipped with a sound card, a 56

Kbps modem, slots for a 10GB hard drive

and 64MB flash memory (as needed), a fan,

and a 120/240 VAC Power Supply Unit.  See

Figure 2 for SBC audio specifications.

Tune Central™

Jukeboxes connected to Tune Central™

give players access to the entire

TouchTunes® library of over 100,000 songs.

Tune Central™ is a stand-alone unit (see

Figure 3) measuring 5 3/8” H X 3 1/2” W X 8

1/8 D and weighing approximately 12lbs.

The unit must be connected to an electrical

outlet and one of the Mega-Link ports on the

jukebox.

Two satellite speakers are included with the

unit, as well as 100 feet of speaker wire.

See the ‘Installation’ section for speaker

placement and mounting information.

Coin Mech/Bill Acceptor

Both the coin mech and bill acceptor are

located inside the front door (see Figure 4),

and the access area is key-locked for se-

curity purposes.  The coin bag can is ac-

cessed by sliding out coin bag bracket (see

Figure 4).

Remote Control

NOTE:  Any changes or modifications
to the remote not expressly approved
by Merit Industries could void  the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

The remote control enables location person-

nel to control certain jukebox functions with-

out having access to the Jukebox Operator

menu.  The remote control is powered by

(2) 1.5V AA batteries (included).

The remote control is RF-based, which elimi-

nates the need to point it directly at the juke-

box when using it.  The effective range will

vary depending on the type of the obstruc-

tions between the remote and the jukebox.

For example, concrete and metal provide

more of a barrier than wood or plaster.  The

remote control can also be affected by in-

terference from other RF-based devices.  If

two TouchTunes® jukeboxes are installed

in close proximity to one another, the remotes

may conflict if both have the same remote

control ID.  You will customize the remote ID

and enable the remote while setting up the

game.

Figure 5 shows the functionality of the re-

mote control keys.

NOTE: Unless you are connecting more
than one set of speakers to the unit,
you will only be working with ZONE 1
settings.

Internet Technologies

TouchTunes® jukebox components allow

customer interaction via user interface with

animated graphics on the monitor

touchscreen.  Jukebox Operators are able

to “order” on a 24-hour basis any individual

music title (including the newest releases)

from a remote central library.  The selection

will be “delivered” via TouchTunes’ propri-

etary telecommunications downloading net-

work, including MP3, MMP, and graphics for-

mats stored within the memory of the juke-

box on location.  At 11:1 compression ratio,

approximately 2,000 songs can be stored

on the 10 GB, ATA/IDE Hard Drive.  The op-

erating system information can be stored on

the hard drive or a 64MB Flash Memory Card,

as needed.

Jukebox Communications

The jukebox calls out once a day with an

“I’m alive” call, typically during a location’s

off hours in order to avoid phone conflicts.

If you’ve placed orders for new songs, two

to three song files will download per hour

(based on average phone line speed), with

a 33.6 Kbps or 56 Kbps modem used to com-

municate with the server.

56 Kbps (V.90) modems are capable of

transmitting 33.6 Kbps to the server and re-

ceiving approximately 42 Kbps from the

server if digital lines are available on the ISP

(Internet Service Provider) side.  This means

that this throughput cannot be achieved on

“Typhoon”.  The modem basically acts much

like a D2A and A2D converter pair, convert-

ing digital signals so they can be transmitted

analogously on copper wires (with limited

bandwidth) and back to digital.

TouchTunes® Server and Database

TouchTunes® maintains two servers to

handle jukebox communications and data.

Two terabytes of disk space allow for an

extensive library of music selections and

for TouchTunes® to receive uploaded log

files from the jukebox network.  One server

is used as a backup to the other.

There are two pathways that jukeboxes use

to connect to the server.  Approximately 80%

of the jukeboxes connect to the

TouchTunes® server through the use of an

Internet provider.  These boxes dial a local

POP (point of presence) radius server, which

verifies the user name and password pro-

grammed into the jukebox.  From there, com-

munication is accomplished using the Internet

backbone.

The other method of connection to the server

is through a direct-dial toll free number.  This

also requires the jukebox to verify its user

name and password to gain access to the

TouchTunes server.

Internet Service Providers

TouchTunes® uses UUNET™ and AT&T™

to handle Internet access for jukeboxes.  In

some cases, jukeboxes have difficulty com-

municating due to a problem with the ISP

(Internet Service Provider) network and not

TouchTunes®.  TouchTunes® monitors ISP

traffic and congestion, makes changes to

the jukebox as required, and will even notify

the ISP when problems are noted with their

services.

Local Point of Presence (POP)

The jukebox will call a local phone number

to connect to the Internet. TouchTunes®

makes every effort to ensure the jukebox is

making a local call.

Jukeboxes that do not have a local POP to

access the Internet are using a toll free di-

rect dial-up to access the TouchTunes® net-

work.  It is not uncommon for jukeboxes

using the direct dial to experience periods

where they get a busy signal.  This is due to

the volume of jukeboxes using the direct

access.

TouchTunes® has experienced better com-

munication results using the Internet for com-

munication and makes every effort to have

jukeboxes communicate in this manner.

How It All Works

New jukeboxes are programmed to call out

using the toll free number, but the phone

number information initially programmed into

the installation screen on the jukebox is far

from accurate.  The first step requires

TouchTunes

®

 to send a small command to

the jukebox in order to capture the phone

number information through caller ID.  After

the accurate information is obtained,

TouchTunes

®

 will search for a local ISP for

the jukebox and program it using that infor-

mation.  If the jukebox determines there is a

problem with the ISP, it will roll back to the toll

free number to communicate with the server.

In this event this happens, the jukebox will

upload its files and logs, but will not down-

load music.  Typically, ISP issues are solved

within a day’s time.

Installation

Once you’ve selected a suitable location,

you are ready to install the Megatouch

Combo Jukebox™.

Installing the Hard Drive

NOTE: You should have already made
arrangements to receive a hard drive
for the unit prior to delivery.  The juke-
box will not function without the hard
drive.

To install the hard drive:

1.

Make sure the 

interior 

power switch

is turned OFF and that the unit is un-

plugged from its power source.

2.

Unlock and open the front door to ac-

cess the SBC (see Figure 1).

3.

Insert the 10GB hard drive into the ‘Re-

movable Hard Disk’ slot (see Figure 6)

until it is fully seated, then hand-tighten

the hard drive bracket spring-loaded

screw into the tapped hole.  Keep in

mind that the hard drive is sensitive to

impact and must be handled with care.

NOTE: Push the hard drive into the slot
gently, as the mating pins/connector
may be slightly out of alignment.

Connecting a Phone Line

4.

Connect one end of the supplied phone

line to the phone connector located on

the back of the unit (see Figure 7).

5.

Connect the other end of the phone

line to a phone jack.   If necessary, use

the supplied phone coupler and/or

phone splitter.

When the speaker is in the preferred

position, tighten the clamp firmly and

replace the logo badge.  Be sure not

to overtighten.

Connecting an Existing Sound System

17. To connect an existing amplifier and

speakers to the unit, connect the cor-

responding ends of the RCA connec-

tors (white to left, red to right) to the

left and right ZONE 2 outputs on the

Single Board Computer inside the unit.

18. Connect the other corresponding ends

of the RCA connectors to the left and

right inputs on your existing stereo

amplifier.

Linking to Other Games

The (2) Mega-Link® ports on the unit will

accommodate (2) more games through the

use of additional standard Ethernet cables

(available at your local computer store) or

individual Mega-Link® kits.  Linking more than

(2) games would require the use of an

Ethernet hub connected to the ‘HUB’ port on

the game (see Figure 6).  

Keep in mind

that each game must be running the

same software version

.  If you are not

linking additional games, skip to the next sec-

tion.

NOTE: The ‘HUB’ port on the unit can
only be used to connect an additional
Ethernet hub.

NOTE:  You will need to adjust the moni-
tor settings on any games after they are
linked to display the TouchTunes® Op-
erator Setup.  Enter the TouchTunes®
Setup Screen on the game and then
adjust the monitor settings so the
graphics are displayed properly.  This
will not affect the monitor settings of
the game screens.

M a k e   s u r e   a l l   g a m e s   ( e x c e p t

FORCE Classic games) that are to

be linked have the Hi Resolution

feature enabled in order to prop-

erly display the current Touch-

Tunes® interface

.  Press the SETUP

button inside the game and enter the

System Menu, then touch the Options

icon.  Page through the options and

make sure the Hi Resolution feature is

checked.  If it is not enabled, certain

TouchTunes® features will not be avail-

able.

NOTE: It is recommended that you per-
form a touchscreen calibration after
enabling Hi Resolution.

NOTE: The TouchTunes® interface will
not display properly in FORCE Classic
games if the Hi Resolution feature is
enabled.  Certain TouchTunes® fea-
tures will therefore not be available in
any linked FORCE Classic games be-
cause they are only accessible in Hi
Resolution mode.

20. Turn off all games that will be con-

nected to the Megatouch Combo Juke-

box™.

21. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable

to one of the Mega-Link® connectors

on the unit (see Figure 7).

22. Connect the other end of the Ethernet

cable to the Ethernet coupler on the

back of the game (the Ethernet coupler

is the one on the left if you are facing

the back of the game).

23. Repeat for an additional game if de-

sired.

NOTE: Do not use the Ethernet hub in-
side the unit for linking other games.

Connecting a Microphone

24. If desired, connect a microphone to the

MIC IN connector on the SBC and pass

the cable through the slots at the bot-

tom of the access panel.

Connecting an External Audio Source

25. If desired, connect the left and right

RCA connectors running from an ex-

ternal audio source, such as a CD or

tape player, to the LINE IN connectors

on the SBC.

26. Replace the access panel.

Connecting to Tune Central™

If you will not be running Tune Central™,

skip ahead to the next section.

27. Choose an appropriate location for the

Tune Central™ unit.  It should be placed

on a flat surface away from heat

sources such as vents or amplifiers.

28. Connect the supplied power source to

the power connector on the front of

the Tune Central™ unit (see Figure 3)

and the supplied power cable to the

power source.  Then plug the power

cable into a suitable grounded outlet.

Use the same guidelines as those

foundin the beginning of the Site Prepa-

ration section on Page 2 to choose an

electrical outlet.

29. Connect one end of a customer-sup-

plied standard Ethernet cable to the

Ethernet connector on the Tune Cen-

tral™ unit (see Figure 3) and the other

end to one of the Mega-Link connec-

tors on the jukebox (see Figure 7).

TouchTunes® Operator Setup

The following instructions are only to guide

you through the setup procedure.  For com-

plete software instructions, see the

TouchTunes® Software Manual.

NOTE: If you are linking more than one
game, you will only need to set up the
TouchTunes® software on one game.
The set up will then be reflected on all
games.

First Time Installation/Phone Settings

30. Plug in and turn on both the internal and

external power switches on the unit.

Keep in mind that while the game will

boot up in approximately one minute,

the jukebox will take several minutes to

load.

NOTE: It is normal for the subwoofer to
produce 2-5 thumping noises when the
unit is first turned on.

31. When the Calibration Screen appears,

follow the instructions on the screen.

You will then be taken to the Game

Menu.

NOTE: Because the TouchTunes® soft-
ware has not been set up yet, the screen
will display a “Jukebox Error - Check
Diagnostics” message at the bottom of
the screen when turned on for the first
time.

32. Press the SETUP button in the unit (see

Figure 15) to bring up the Main Menu.
