The SP 150 HD juke box is similar to a conventional CD
player, but has an integral 40Gb hard disc for storage.
It has been designed to be used as part of a Hi Fi system,
and requires connection to an amplifier which accepts
AUX or Line inputs.
The output of the SP150 can be adjusted (described on
page 15), however the default output setting is 280 mV
which is suitable for connection to most domestic Hi Fi
equipment.
Please ensure that the power lead is free from damage,
and has not been twisted or kinked.
If the power cable fitted to the SP150 is damaged in any
way, please do not connect to a mains power supply, but
return the unit to your dealer for a replacement product.
If your mains power outlet is switched, ensure the power
is switched off and then connect the SP150 to the mains
power supply pushing the plug firmly into the socket. Then
turn the power switch on the mains power outlet to on.
SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Please connect audio output leads first before
connecting the mains power to the SP150.
Note: if the power plug fitted to the SP150 does not
match the power sockets used in your worldwide
location, please consult your dealer for further
information.
The SP150 is fitted with a self regulating power supply
and will automatically adjust to the voltage setting in your
region.
POSITIONING THE SP 150
CONNECTION OF AUDIO OUTPUT
CONNECTION OF MAINS POWER
The SP150 is fitted with a mains power plug which is
applicable to your worldwide location.
The SP150 is fitted with two RCA phono jacks which deliver
line level audio signals to a suitable amplifier. Using the
lead supplied take one end and push both the white and
red RCA plugs into the corresponding sockets located on
the rear of the SP150.
Ensuring that no twists or kinks are apparent, or that the
cable has been damaged in any way, take the other end
of this cable and push the RCA plugs in to corresponding
input sockets on the rear of your amplifier.
Please ensure that you have connected the SP150
to corresponding line input sockets, and not a phono
(turntable) input sockets. This would cause the phono
sockets to become overloaded.
TURNING THE POWER ON/OFF
The power button on the SP150 is located on the far right
of the front panel. Located next to the power switch is an
LED (light emitting diode) which indicates that the power is
ON when it is green. The LCD screen will also illuminate
and has a green-yellow background light.
To turn ON the SP150, depress the power switch until you
hear and feel a positive click. At this time the LED will be
green.
To turn the SP150 OFF, simply reverse the process above,
the LED will also go off.
Note: It is safe to leave the SP150 connected to the mains
power supply for a reasonable length of time, however as
with most electrical equipment, you would be advised to
remove connection to the mains power supply if the unit
was going to be left unattended to considerable lengths
of time.
The SP150 is designed to stack within a group of Hi Fi
separates. It does not contain any ventilation grills, so the
proximity of other equipment is not critical, however it is
not advised to cover the SP150 with any material which
might impair its cooling.
The unit can be placed on top of most other pieces of
Hi Fi equipment, however it is our recommendation to
place it on the top of any Hi Fi stack, and try to avoid
placing it directly on top of any high-powered equipment
which may generate excessive heat or electronic radiation,
eg. a power amplifier.
The SP150 has a standby power setting which can only be
operated by the remote control by pressing button 7.
The SP150 has been designed to offer automatic file
compression as a default factory setting. This means that
the file compression process will take place without the
need for compression programs that would be necessary
when using a computer.
It is necessary for the SP150 to be placed in standby mode
periodically as file compression is a process which occurs
automatically whilst in standby mode or can be controlled on
manually from the system menu (see advanced functions
page 14 for further information on file compression)
Press the standby button on the remote control to place
the SP150 in standby mode, and file compression will
start. If you press the standby button on the remote control
again within 5 seconds the file compression process will
cease and the SP150 will revert to standby without file
compression. If after 5 seconds, if you press the standby
button again, the SP150 will resume normal function.
