Issue:
Under certain limited conditions, a bookkeeping error may occur that
causes a Megatouch-connected TouchTunes jukebox to record double
the correct amount of money in its bookkeeping functions for remote
jukebox plays.

are connected via Gamelink to TouchTunes jukeboxes, and where
BOTH of the following conditions exist:
1) The
Quick Price Setup feature on the Megatouch is being used.
-AND-
2) The selected setup is “4 credits for $1”.
Symptoms:
To determine if your system is affected, please conduct the following
procedure:
1) Enter the Operator Setup on the Megatouch.
2) Touch

Quick Price Setup.
4) Touch

8) At the jukebox, activate the Operator menu and navigate to the
Money
Æ Bookkeeping menu.
9) Record the “Linked Coinage” value displayed (see Figure 2).
10) Initiate a remote play from the Megatouch. If your system is affected,
Linked Coinage for the remote play will be double the correct amount
on the jukebox’s Bookkeeping screen.
Solution:
This issue will cease to occur when the credit settings are configured
manually on the Megatouch. To do so, please follow these steps:
1) Enter Operator Setup on the Megatouch.
2) Touch
Credits/Pricing.
3) Touch
Coin-In.
4) Manually configure your credit settings.
5) Touch
Main Menu at the top-center of the screen.
6) Touch
TouchTunes.
7) Set “Merit Credits per Song” to any desired value.
8) To verify the success of this process, initiate a remote play from the
Megatouch. If this procedure has been successful, coinage for a
linked play will be recorded correctly on the jukebox’s Bookkeeping
screen – i.e. the value specified on the Merit “Value of Credit” menu.
NOTES:
-
If the Coin-In table is set up for bonus credits, the TouchTunes unit selects the most expensive
credits to use.
-
Wireless linking of Megatouch systems and TouchTunes jukeboxes is not supported.
