NOTE: USB 2.0 ports are very inexpensive and can be purchased at your local computer store.

3. Does the AC power adapter need to be connected to the Media-Jukebox when it is connected to the computer?
No. In fact, the computer will not recognize the Media-Jukebox if the AC power adapter is plugged into it. This is because the Media-Jukebox gets its power from the computer that it is connected to. The AC power adapter is only necessary when the Media-Jukebox is being used as a player and not connected to a computer.

2. Open the Control Panel by clicking on the "Control Panel" link.
3. Double-click on "Administrative Tools".
4. Double-click on "Computer Management".
5. Click once on "Disc Management".
6. When in the "Disc Management" window, there is a window on the lower right that lists the different disc drives and hard drives. Scroll down until you find one with the following characteristics: 37.25 GB, FAT32.
7. Right click on this drive and select CHANGE DRIVE LETTER AND PATHS...
8. When in the "Change Drive Letter and Paths" window, click on CHANGE...

7. What file-types are compatible with the Media-Jukebox?
Divx, DVD, VCD, Mp3 and Photo-CD.

8. Will my karaoke (CD+G) songs work on the Media-Jukebox?
No, the Media-Jukebox is not compatible with CD+G files but if you compress your CD+G files to Divx files then they can be used on the Media-Jukebox.

9. How do I compress a CD+G file to DivX?
There are actually two available methods for compressing CD+G files to DivX. NOTE: It is essential that the CD-ROM drive on your computer is CD+G compatible. If it is not, you will not be able to do anything with CD+G files.
1. Using a CDG ripping program, you can rip each file of of the CD on to your computer's hard drive and then run them through a DivX codec which will compress the files to DivX files.
2. Using a video capture device, you can record the video onto your hard drive and using the DR.DivX program, you can compress the files to DivX files.
NOTE: This method takes longer but it results in a higher quality of DivX file.

Visit www. VocoPro.com (http://www.vocopro.com/divx_operations.html) for in-depth instructions on both of these methods.

10. Do I have to store my media files in the folders that are already on the Media-Jukebox?
No. Those files have been provided as an example of one way that your files can be organized. You should create new folders that organize your collection based on your specific preferences.

11. Does the Media-Jukebox automatically organize files in alphabetical order?
For best results, it is preferred that you your file-names are in the form of numbers rather than letters. This will result in a more reliable organization and easier access of your files.

12. What is the best way to organize the file names?
Begin each file name with a 5-digit number, beginning with 00001, 00002...00010, 00011, etc.
IMPORTANT: You may use 4 or 3-digit numbers but be sure that you use the same amount for the whole collection. For example, do not mix 4-digit numbers and 5-digit numbers.


13. My Media-Jukebox seems to be putting the songs out of order. How can I fix this?
1. Make a new folder on your computer's hard drive
2. Drag (do not copy and paste) all the files from the Media-Jukebox into that folder
3. Go VIEW --> DETAILS
4. Click on the NAME tab in the window. This will toggle between "first to last" and "last to first". Do this a couple times and then make sure it is in "first to last" before closing the window.
