9Connecting / Disconnecting from your Computer

9.1Connecting the Jukebox Multimedia to your computer

Windows ME, 2000, XP (Home/professional) and Macintosh OS 9.2 and above do not require any special installation of software drivers. The Jukebox Multimedia will be recognized as a Mass Storage Device and mount automatically within a few seconds of being connected. For PCs running Windows operating systems, you will see a new drive letter, such as E: in My Computer. For Macintosh, you will see a new Hard Drive Icon on your desktop. Note also that when the Jukebox is connected to a computer, it will use more energy than usual. Your battery power will be consumed at a higher rate than normal. Thus, you should always use the AC adapter when connected.

Preferred Connection Order (all computers):

1)Use the power adapter to avoid that the Jukebox shuts off due to low power (battery consumption is greater when USB connected)

2)Plug USB cable into Jukebox Multimedia

3)Turn on the Jukebox Multimedia – wait until it completely boots up

4)Plug other end of cable into already running computer
