Match the blocked socket with the missing pin on the drive mechanism.

2.5" IDE Mechanisms get their power from the USB port.

Optional Compact Flash Card Adapter

The 44-pin IDE adapter allows Compact Flash memory card usage. Works with FAT32 formatted cards 2GB and higher.

Approximate song capacities:

CF Size @128 Kbps @192 Kbps

2GB 500 400

4GB 1,000 800

8GB 2,000 1,600

16GB 4,000 3,200

32GB 8,000 6,400

64GB 16,000 12,800

Insert the memory card into the adapter then plug the adapter into the 44-pin IDE connector.

Creating New Folders for Disc Numbers

Assemble your disk drive to the USB external HDD board.

Open Windows Explorer

Plug in the external HDD USB cable into your computer.

Within a few moments, a new disk drive letter should appear.

For this example we see “Removable Disk F:”

If you did not see a new disk drive letter, follow the instructions in your USB manual about setting up your new disk drive or you can visit www.cdadapter.com and go to the FAQ section.

To create a new folder …

Single click the new drive letter to hi-lite,

Click File | New

Then click on Folder

You should see a New Folder name.

Change the name …

The first two letters must be your disc number from 00 to 99. The following letters can be any text you choose.

Drag & Drop Your MP3 Song Files

Select the disk and directory for your source of MP3 song files then click the + at “Removable Disk (F:)” to expand the folders.

If you wish to store the entire set of songs, click on the first song at the top, scroll down to the last song, hold down the SHIFT key then click the last song.

The entire list should be hi-lighted. Move your mouse over the list then hold down the left mouse button and drag the list to your F: drive folder.

If you wish to store a single song, place your mouse over the song then hold down the left mouse button and drag it to your F: drive folder.

Setting the Selection Position of Your Songs

Previously, folders were numbered to identify disc positions, here, MP3 song names must be numbered to identify their track position. Most MP3 “rippers” or “extractors” will provide this track numbering feature for you. All characters after the two digit track number are ignored and can be any text you choose. Just like for CD’s, you must have sequential track numbers, you can not have skipped sequences.

MP3 song files can be changed at any time, simply delete the old file and insert the new one.

If you need to change or add the selection position number of a song, place the mouse over the song then right click and select Rename.

Position your mouse to the start of the song name then left click. You should see a blinking cursor waiting for you to edit.

NSM ES-V.1 Jukebox Installation

Hooking Up The Digital Music Player To Your Jukebox

Assemble your Hard Disc Drive or Compact Flash memory to the MP3-DSP digital music player board.

Plug in the 9-pin mini DIN connector (arrow or notch at the top). Connect the power supply and jukebox interface cable to the MP3 player cable.

Turn off the jukebox power, Unplug the connectors at the back of the CD mechanism changer. Insert the 4-pin male header from the MP3 player into the audio connector ribbon from the jukebox amplifier. Red marking to the "ribbon exit" side.

Plug the 9-pin DSUB connector from the MP3 cable into the

Control Unit ST2 position.

At the jukebox Control Unit board connector position ST12, unplug the 8-pin CD Mechanism connector and plug in the

MP3's connector (white wire facing toward ST10).

The MP3 player comes with it's own power supply which operates from line voltages of 100 to 240 VAC.

Plug the power adapter into the jukebox AC outlet. If your jukebox doesn't have an AC outlet, you may need to splice one into the jukebox switched AC wiring.

The following page provides more installation detail.

Built-In Diagnostics

When the player is powered up, diagnostics are performed followed by song indexing. The LED will be blink brightly during this time. Depending upon the number of songs, this can take up to a few seconds to complete.

If an error is detected, the LED will continually flash an error code of one to four blinks each,

(1) INITIALIZATION ERROR, disk drive is not inserted

correctly or MP3 player board failure.

(2) FILESYSTEM ERROR, unable to locate FAT32

filesystem or drive was not formatted.

(3) NO FOLDERS FOUND, a directory folder is used for

each CD, check disk contents.

(4) NO MP3 FILES FOUND, MP3 files are used for each

audio track, check disk contents .

Playing MP3 Songs

Your jukebox operates exactly as it did before, two digit disc number and two digit track number.

The jukebox and player are also capable of having up to 99 tracks for each disc but you may need to set parameter P042 to play tracks higher than 24. The first two digits are the maximum disc number and the next two are maximum track number. Factory setting is 0024 which is 100 discs having up to 24 tracks. For 99 tracks, change to 0099.

Works with any NSM ES-V.1 (ES5.1) jukebox with EPROM version V0104 or higher

NSM ES V.1-CD Jukebox TOC Initialization

If this is a new installation or song files have been changed, the jukebox will need to be initialized.

Here are the steps to start the jukebox initialization …

1) Open the cabinet lid (door)

2) Pull out the service switch (display shows e.g. "P010")

3) Press "C" (display shows "P")

4) Enter "160" (display shows "P160")

5) Press "H" then press "0" (right side of display cycles through all CD numbers/tracks then stops)

6) Push in service switch (operation complete)

Changing the track limit setting

Factory default sets the maximum track limit to 32. If you want to change it to 99 tracks, do the following …

Perform steps 1, 2 and 3 from above

Enter "042", Press "H" (shows current setting), Enter "0099", Press "H" (new setting is entered), Push in service switch

Follow steps above to re-initialize the jukebox

NSM ES-VI Jukebox Installation

Hooking Up The Digital Music Player To Your Jukebox

Assemble your Hard Disc Drive or Compact Flash memory to the MP3-DSP digital music player board.

Plug in the 9-pin mini DIN connector (arrow or notch at the top). Connect the power supply.

Unplug the 3 connectors from the back of the MBC-III CD changer. Plug these connectors onto the MP3 adapter board

(in the same direction as shown).

The MP3 player comes with it's own power supply which operates from line voltages of 100 to 240 VAC.

You may need to install an outlet cord if your jukebox is not equipped with a AC outlet.

Playing MP3 Songs

Your jukebox operates exactly as it did before, two digit disc number and two digit track number.

ES-6 model jukeboxes are a little picky about the time it takes the MP3 player to scan and index the song files, so therefore, you may not be able to have 99 tracks on all CD’s.

Setting Power-Up Options

You can set power-up options for the MP3 player by creating filenames with specific extension names and storing the file into any CD folder 00 to 99.

The list of option settings are:

filename.ES5 – forces the player to ES-V operating mode

filename.ES6 – forces the player to ES-VI operating mode

filename.CFM – disable auto power down sequence

Although the MP3 player can automatically determine if it is connected to an ES-5 or ES-6 model jukebox, you can manually force the jukebox model by placing a file called

“filename.ES5” or “filename.ES6” into any one of the CD folders. The filename or contents does not matter but the file extension must be either ES5 or ES6.

If you don’t want the hard drive to automatically power down after 30 seconds of no activity or if your using a Compact

Flash Memory card, then the file called “filename.CFM” should be placed in one of the CD folders.
