Welcome to the Lightning Video Jukebox help manual.

The LV Jukebox is one of the most advanced jukeboxs on the market. Unlike other jukeboxs, this one has NO out of world webpages to visit, or hard chat commands to remember to play your songs. it's 100% menu driven for ease of use. In the next few pages you'll learn how to setup and use your LV Jukebox. Lets get started.


***Before we get started***
You must OWN the land you wish to use the jukebox on, or at least have rights to change the lands Media URL. To check this, right click on the land and choose "About Land", go to the Media tab and look at the Music URL box. If this box is dark grey, you do not have rights to change it. If the land is group owned, the object must be deeded to the group before it will work. Please keep this in mind when using our jukebox.

Step 1) Getting your LV Jukebox.
You may buy your LV Jukebox and all it's accessories at the following location 􀀀
Here you will be able to find both the lite version and the full version of the jukebox. As well as song packs and accessories that are sure to come in the future. Once you have your LV jukebox, returned to where you would like the jukebox setup.

Step 2) Rez your jukebox and configuring it
The first time you rez the jukebox you may get a few errors about it updating. This is normal and these should be ignored. Position your jukebox in a nice location. Somewhere it will easily be seen by others wishing to use it. If the land is group owned, now is when you should deed it too the group. Once placed, right click and choose EDIT from the pie menu. Go to the Content tab, and double click on the "config" note card. This is where we'll change our starting settings such as who can use the admin function.

The Config Card
The config notecard can have the following options, any line starting with a # is ignored
*Mode
This sets who can use the admin button on your jukebox.
Mode 1, only you can use the admin button. THIS MODE WILL NOT WORK IF THE JUKEBOX IS DEEDED.
Mode 2, This is the best mode for group owned jukeboxes. With this mode, anyone who's active group is the same as the jukebox will be able to use the admin features.
Mode 3, This mode will allow you to list people that can use the jukebox. These names should be 1 per line and come at the very end of the notecard.

*Name List
For mode 3 above, this is where the names should appear. Names should be the very last thing in the notecard, and there should be 1 per line.

Step 3) Resetting and updating
Next, we'll want to save the notecard and tell the jukebox we made changes too it. Touch the jukebox and a menu should come up. Find the admin button (it is the bottom middle button, if this button is - you have setup the notecard wrong and have locked yourself out. Please go back to step 2 and have someone who has rights to the admin menu rest the jukebox).
From the admin menu you'll want to click RESET. This will reset the jukebox and force it to reread the config notecard. Once it has finished booting up it should say "LV Jukebox Ready". Now go back into the admin menu and click Update. If you do not do an update, no songs will be listed.

Step 4) Enjoy!
After the update compleates, your LV Jukebox is ready for use. Please see below for a list of how to pick songs, load CD's, and setup the stereo option.


Stereo setup.
Open the StereoURLs notecard found in the jukebox's inventory. List your URLs here that you would like to appear under the Stereo button. They should be listed with the name first, then a | (shift + backslash), then the URL. Below is an example
LV Radio|http://72.35.167.:8028
Urls should be listed 1 per line, with the last line being a blank. Once all of your URLs are listed. Go into the admin menu and click the update button to force them to show up.


Picking a song.
Picking a song is easy to do, Simply touch the jukebox. A list of catagories will appear in the drop down menu. Now choose a catagory and 6 songs will be listed. You can use the << Previous and Next >> buttons to browse though the song lists. Once you have found a song you like, look at the number before the song (1-6) and click the button that matches the number. That's it! If there is no songs already playing your song will start right away. If a song is already playing, your's will be stored and played when the current song finishes. The only limit on how many songs you can have stored is avaible memory.

Another way to pick a song is the Random button. This will pick 1 song at random and load it up in the jukebox. This button must be clicked for each random song you wish to play.

LV Cd's, Loading more music.
If you bought the lite version of the jukebox, you will notice there is not much to pick from. You will also need to purches one or more of our LV Music CD's. Each cd contains MANY songs, up to over 100 songs can be in a CD. When you buy a CD, loading it is easy. Rez the CD next to the jukebox you wish to load the songs into. Then simple touch the CD, in a few moments the CD should disappear and the songs will be loaded. The jukebox will do a quick update when a new set of songs are loaded. Once it is done, you should see it on the menu right away and ready to use.


*****FAQ*****
Q. I can't see the admin menu to do an update or a rest.
A. You have locked yourself out of your jukebox. You should setup the config card BEFORE deeding the jukebox to a group. Take back ownership of the jukebox and configure the notecard. If you are the owner but still can't get into the admin menu, make sure your active group matches that of the jukebox.

Q. I see the catagory menus but no songs are listed in them.
A. Go under the admin menu and choose Update, wait for the update to finish.

Q. There's not very many songs listed, where can I get more?
A. Go to 􀀁 and buy some of our CD packs. Each pack can hold over 100 songs. We are also always adding songs, so be sure to check back.


****Side note****
for the cd packs, in order to install them the owner of the juekbox and the cd pack must be the same. Meaning same avatar or deeded to same group depending on your individual setup.
