computer’s CD or DVD drive, then follow the on-screen instructions.

2After the installation is finished, click Finish, then restart your

computer.

Tips & Tricks Even if you already have Windows Media Player 10 installed

on your computer, you may want to install the version on the

jukebox installation CD because it contains the Napster To Go

plugin and the jukebox’s firmware update utility.

Tips & Tricks If you are unable to locate your installation CD, you can

download Windows Media Player 10 from

www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/

download/download.aspx

Creating files for your jukebox

Before you connect your jukebox to your computer, you should have some

digital music and photo files ready on the computer. After files are ready,

you can copy them to your jukebox.

■To create digital music files, you need to either copy (rip) them from

a CD or buy them from an online digital music service, such as

Napster. For more information, see “Ripping music files” on page 40

or “Buying digital music files” on page 43.

■To create digital photos, you must either take them with a digital

camera and transfer the files to your computer or scan photographic

prints and negatives using a scanner. For more information, see your

camera’s or scanner’s documentation.

Ripping music files

To rip music tracks from a CD:

1Insert the music CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive.

2Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, then click

5Click the Rip Music tab.

6Click the Format box, click MP3 or WMA, then click OK. You only

have to select the format once, so the next time you rip music, you

do not need to perform this step.

7Click the check box next to each track you want to copy, then click

Rip Music. The tracks are copied to your computer and are added to

your Media Player Library.

Buying digital music files

You can buy digital music from several online music services. To play music

from these services on your jukebox, you must buy music in MP3 or WMA

format.

Plays For Sure is a Microsoft program that ensures compatibility between

compatible media players and participating music providers. Your jukebox

is compatible with Plays For Sure, so you know that the music you buy

from a Plays For Sure music provider will work on your jukebox. For a

complete list of participating Plays For Sure music providers, see

www.playsforsure.com.

Napster

With the Napster To Go™ online music service, you can transfer an

unlimited amount of music to your jukebox for a low monthly free. Fill

your player, listen to all the music, then fill it up again from your choice

of over a million tracks. Napster is a Plays For Sure music provider.

Chapter 6: Maintenance and

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes how to solve common issues you may experience

with your jukebox.

Troubleshooting

Buttons do not work

Make sure that the control lock is not in the LOCK position. Check for a

lock icon on the screen. If the control lock is in the LOCK position, move

it to the UNLOCK position. For more information, see “Locking control

buttons” on page 19.

Files cannot be transferred

■Make sure that the USB cable is connected correctly to your computer

and jukebox. For more information, see “Moving files to your

jukebox” on page 49.

■Make sure that the AC power adapter is plugged into your jukebox

and a power outlet and that your jukebox is turned on.

Firmware update fails

If the firmware update utility is unable to update your jukebox firmware,

you need to reinstall your jukebox’s original firmware.

To reinstall your jukebox’s original firmware:

1Turn on your jukebox and connect it to your computer using the

USB combo cable.

2Click Start, All Programs, Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox, then click

Firmware Utility.

3Click Re-install. The jukebox’s original firmware is reinstalled.

Caution Before updating or troubleshooting your jukebox firmware,

make sure that your music and photo files are backed up.

4You can also click:

■Recover. Use this when files on the jukebox seem to disappear,

although you have not deleted them. The Recover option

attempts to fix the database on the jukebox so that files will

no longer disappear.

■Format (disk maintenance). Use this when Recover does not fix

the problem. The Format option backs up and re-formats the

Music, Pictures, PPL, Playlists, and Upload folders on the

jukebox’s hard drive. After the drive is re-formatted, the

backed–up data is restored to the jukebox. The Format process

takes much longer than the Recover process.

5After the update is finished, disconnect the jukebox from the

computer.

I hear no sound

■Adjust the volume level by pressing the volume buttons on your

jukebox.

■Make sure that the headphones are plugged in all the way.

JPG/JPEG photos do not display

Your jukebox can display digital photos saved in the standard (baseline or

static) JPG/JPEG format. Progressive or interlaced images are not viewable.

Digital cameras save images in the supported standard JPG/JPEG format,

and most photo editing software saves in the standard format by default.

Re-save the images in photo editing software, and make sure the file is saved

in the default (baseline or static) format.

Jukebox does not turn on

Make sure that the battery still has power. For more information, see

“Charging the battery” on page 11.

Jukebox does not appear in Windows Media Player

■Disconnect the jukebox from your computer, then reconnect it.

■Disconnect the jukebox from your computer, turn off the jukebox,

turn it back on, then reconnect it to your computer.

■Make sure that you have Windows Media Player version 10 installed.

You can install version 10 from the installation CD.

■Check your version of Microsoft Windows XP. Your computer must

have Service Pack 1 installed for Windows Media Player 10 to work

correctly.

Transferred music does not play

If you transfer music with Windows Explorer instead of Windows Media

Player, the jukebox will not recognize the music. To transfer music to your

jukebox, you must use Windows Media Player.

When I try to play a song, I get the message “To play this track,

you must sync your device to your PC.”

If you use a music service where music can be played for a limited amount

of time (such as Napster To Go), the music will eventually “expire” on your

jukebox. Re-sync with your computer to access the track again. For more

information on syncing with your computer, see “Moving files to your

jukebox” on page 49.

NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, OTHER

THAN THOSE DAMAGES THAT ARE INCAPABLE OF

LIMITATION, EXCLUSION OR RESTRICTION UNDER

APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT GIVES YOU SPECIFIC

LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER

RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO

JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW

LASTS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF

5. Dispute Resolution. You and Gateway agree that any

Dispute between You and Gateway will be resolved

exclusively and finally by arbitration administered by the

National Arbitration Forum (NAF) and conducted under its

rules, except as otherwise provided below. You and Gateway

will agree on another arbitration forum if NAF ceases

operations. The arbitration will be conducted before a single

arbitrator, and will be limited solely to the Dispute between

You and Gateway. The arbitration, or any portion of it, will

not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will not

be conducted on a class-wide or class action basis. The

arbitration shall be held at any reasonable location near

your residence by submission of documents, by telephone,

online or in person whichever method of presentation You

choose. If You prevail in the arbitration of any Dispute with

Gateway, Gateway will reimburse You for any fees you paid

to NAF in connection with the arbitration. Any decision

rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and

binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered

thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. Should

either party bring a Dispute in a forum other than NAF, the

arbitrator may award the other party its reasonable costs and

expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in staying or

dismissing such other proceedings or in otherwise enforcing

compliance with this dispute resolution provision. You

understand that, in the absence of this provision, You would

have had a right to litigate disputes through a court,

including the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class-

action basis, and that You have expressly and knowingly

waived those rights and agreed to resolve any Disputes

through binding arbitration in accordance with the

provisions of this paragraph. This arbitration provision shall

be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section

1, et seq. For the purposes of this provision, the term

“Dispute” means any dispute, controversy, or claim arising

out of or relating to (i) this Agreement, its interpretation,

or the breach, termination, applicability or validity thereof,

(ii) the related order for, purchase, delivery, receipt or use

of any product or service from Gateway, or iii) any other

dispute arising out of or relating to the relationship between

You and Gateway; the term “Gateway” means Gateway, Inc.,

its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers,

employees, beneficiaries, agents, assigns, component

suppliers (both hardware and software), and/or any third

party who provides products or services purchased from or

distributed by Gateway; and the term “You” means you, or

those in privity with you, such as family members or

beneficiaries. Information may be obtained from the NAF

on line at www.arb-forum.com, by calling 800-474-2371 or

writing to P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405.

6. General. You may not assign this Agreement without

Gateway’s written consent. Gateway may assign this

Agreement and/or any associated service plan without your

100

released of all obligations, and you agree to look solely to

the assignee for the performance of all obligations under

this Agreement and/or any associated service plan. Gateway,

Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates are intended

beneficiaries of this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency

between this Agreement and any other agreement included

with or relating to products or services purchased from

Gateway, this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement may

not be modified, altered or amended without the written

agreement of Gateway. Any additional or altered terms shall

be null and void, unless expressly agreed to in writing by

Gateway. If any term of this Agreement is illegal or

unenforceable, the legality and enforceability of the

remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired. This

Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State

of South Dakota, without giving effect to conflicts of law

rules.
