Selections are made and the jukebox is controlled using the supplied remote control. The Vinyl Pop features a built-in speaker in its base, but external speakers can also be connected using the connection plate on the rear of the cabinet.

Each slot is numbered and the triangular sticker points towards the specified slot. In the image on the left disc 136 should be placed to the right of the 136 stickers as illustrated by the dashed orange line.

iv. Now slide the chosen record into the required slot in the basket. If the record will not slide cleanly into the required slot, remove it then rotate the basket again to ensure the slot is in the center of the Disc Loading Area.
When inserting the disc, Side A should face towards the LEFT of the slot
Side B should face towards the RIGHT of the slot.
