When Using JAMM'N Tv! in a Custom Cabinet
Step 1.
Wire up JAMM'N Tv! using a JAMMA harness just as if it were any JAMMA video game in a video game cabinet.
Step 2.

Locate the Infrared Remote Receiver module included with the kit. Mount the IR receiver in a location on the front of the cabinet where light from the outside can reach the front of the detector. Plug the IR detector cable into connector J1 on the JAMM'N Tv! board.
Step 4.
(a) Drill a 1" hole in the bottom back of the game cabinet at least 8" from the hole or slot where the power cord enters the game cabinet and 3" below the opening for the back door.
(b) Locate the 5-foot coax patch cord and F-type wall plate included in the game kit. Screw the coax cable onto the F-connector on the wall plate on the BACK SIDE of the wall plate.
(c) Feed the coax cable through the 1" hole drilled earlier. Attach the wall plate to the bottom of the game cabinet using the two #6 x 1/2" screws provided.
(d) Locate the RCA-to-F-type right angle adapter included with the kit. Install this adapter on the RCA jack located on the JAMM'N Tv! game board tuner module.
(e) Connect the unused end of the coax patch cord to the RCA-to F-type right angle adapter installed on the JAMM'N Tv! tuner module. Use cable ties to secure the coax cable to the inside game cabinet and relieve any strain pulling on the game board.
Step 5.
Connect an antenna or cable TV to the F-connector on the wall plate on the back of the game cabinet.
You are now ready to view television pictures on your JAMMA cabinet!
Setting Up JAMM'N Tv!
DIP Switch Settings
| DIP SWITCH | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Antenna Tuning | OFF | -- | -- | -- |
| Cable Tuning | ON | -- | -- | -- |
| Parental Controls OFF | -- | OFF | -- | -- |
| Parental Controls ON | -- | ON | -- | -- |
| Disable Aux Input | -- | -- | OFF | -- |
| Enable Aux Input | -- | -- | ON | -- |
| Interlace Aux Input | -- | -- | -- | OFF |
| De-Interlace Aux Input | -- | -- | -- | ON |
Input Select
When using JAMM'N Tv! with an antenna, set DIP SW 1 OFF. When using JAMM'N Tv! with cable TV, set DIP SW 1 ON.
Parental Controls
DIP SW 2 turns OFF or ON the Parental Controls feature. When set to ON, JAMM'N Tv! will no longer respond to the TEST button, nor will it receive numerical channel selection information from the remote control hand unit. This feature allows the user to program JAMM'N Tv! to tune only pre-selected channels (in channel memory) and channels selected by the HOTKEYS while not allowing this programming to be altered.
Aux Input Enable/Disable
DIP SW 3 enables the Auxillary Input and adds AUX to the channel selection.
When enabled, AUX becomes a "channel" between Channel 69 (99 cable) and 02 (01 cable). When disabled, the AUX channel selection is not present and cannot be selected.
Aux Input Interlace/De-Interlace
DIP SW 4 selects between interlaced and non-interlaced composite video. When set for De-Interlace (ON), the picture will be improved when used with video game systems. Leave this switch OFF when using VCR's, DVD players, cameras or other video sources.
Setting Up the Infrared Remote Control
The JAMM'N Tv! kit is programmed to receive and interpret IR hand unit commands using the NEC-III IR communications protocol. Any Universal remote control will work with JAMM'N Tv! if properly programmed.
Your JAMM'N Tv! kit includes one GE Universal Remote Control. Here's how to program the GE remote control to work with JAMM'N Tv! :
If you decide to use a different remote control, you will need to program the remote to use the proper code for JAMM'N Tv!. The best way to do this is to look in the book that comes with your remote and locate the code for NEC televisions. There may be more than one code, so try the first and if it does not work, then try the next.
JAMM'N Tv! will respond to the following hand unit keys:
All other keys on the hand unit are ignored or are designed for other devices such as VCR's, DVD's, cable boxes, etc.
DIP SW 2, when set to the ON position will disable the Random Channel Numerical Entry Keys 0-9. This is part of the Parental Controls feature. If after programming your remote control you find that none of the number keys work, check to see if DIP SW 2 is set to the ON position.
Controls
JAMM'n Tv! is controlled primarily by the joystick and the Player 1 controls.
Using the On-Screen Programming Feature
Most of JAMM'N Tv!'s settings are done through the On-Screen Programming feature. To activate this feature, be sure Parental Controls are OFF (DIP SW 2 OFF), then press the TEST button. Use the JOYSTICK UP and DOWN to scroll through the settings until you reach the setting you wish to adjust, then press the HOTKEY 1 (Player 1 P1) button.
NOTE: While in the Programming Mode, JAMM'N Tv! will not respond to any HOTKEYS, and the joystick is used to select which setting to use and to manipulate the setting value. JAMM'N Tv! WILL however respond the the remote control hand unit. You can change channels using the UP and DOWN arrows OR by entering a random channel number on the remote control's keyboard.
Channel Setup
The Channel Setup feature will automatically scan the incoming antenna or cable signal and program JAMM'N Tv! to tune only channels that are present and unscrambled. All other channels will be deleted from channel memory. If DIP SW 3 is set ON, then the channel AUX will be added automatically after the highest channel in memory.
Add/Delete Channels
Use this feature to ADD or DELETE a channel to/from the channel memory. Here's how:
The same procedure is used to add or delete a channel.
Rule: When Add/Delete Channels is selected AND the HOTKEY 1 button is pressed...
Adjust COLOR, TINT, SHARPNESS, CONTRAST
Use these features to adjust the color saturation, tint (hue), sharpness and contrast of the picture. Use the JOYSTICK RIGHT and LEFT to increase or decrease the value of the setting. COLOR, TINT and CONTRAST adjust from 00 to 63, while SHARPNESS adjusts from 00 to 15.
Set Time
This feature will allow you to set the on-screen clock. Use the remote control hand unit to enter the time, beginning with the hours, then the minutes. If the hours is a single digit (i.e. 7:00), then enter a zero first (i.e. 07:00). The on-screen clock runs in 12 hour time mode.
EXIT
Selecting EXIT then pressing the HOTKEY 1 button will exit the On Screen Programming Mode and save all settings.
Other Settings
MASTER VOLUME
JAMM'N Tv! has a MASTER volume control located on the main board. This control is factory set to MAXIMUM volume level. Adjusting this control will limit how loud the volume can play when the on-screen volume is set to MAX.
VIDEO BIAS
There are two potentiometers on the main board labeled, "TUNER VID BIAS" and "AUX VID BIAS". These controls are used to set the input video level to the RGB processor. The "TUNER VID BIAS" is factory set and should never need adjusting, however the "AUX VID BIAS" may be tweaked in the event a remote video source appears washed out, weak or overdriven.
HORIZ BLANK PHASE
This adjustment alters the timing of the horizontal blanking in relation to the colorburst phase. Although the effects of this control may vary from monitor to monitor, adjusting this pot has several common results. First, if "lightly tweaked", it can be used as a horizontal centering control. If tweaked a bit further, it will interfere with the color (usually turns everything blue) and if overtweaked, it will actually reverse the horizontal sync polarity (you will loose the picture). BE CAREFUL WHEN ADJUSTING THIS POTENTIOMETER! Use this setting conservatively as a horizontal centering control or to correct horizontal "tearing" at the top of the picture.
Don't Forget There Are Monitor Adjustments!
The picture may be further adjusted by tweaking the controls on the monitor itself. Monitors vary, so refer to your monitor's manual for adjustments. Most monitors have a BRIGHTNESS, BLACK LEVEL, HORIZ POSITION, VERTICAL SIZE, VERTICAL POSITION, HORIZONTAL HOLD, VERTICAL HOLD and other adjustments which may affect the quality of the picture.
How to Program the Ten Hotkeys
JAMM'N Tv! has 10 user-programmable hotkeys. These keys allow instant access to ten pre-programmed "favorite" channels. Player 1 FIRE buttons 1-5 are used as the Hotkeys 1-5 and Player 2 FIRE buttons 1-5 are used for Hotkeys 6-10. Here's how to program the Hotkeys:
Setting DIP SW 2 to the ON position will prohibit changes to the hotkey programming because the Parental Controls feature disables the TEST button. Using Parental Controls in conjunction with the Hotkeys will let kids tune only ten pre-selected channels and prevent the "smart ones" from re-programming the keys to undesired channels.
