Hey Fellow Jukeboxians.. Quick question sure someone should know this i have a Rowe Storm CD wallmount jukebox all is good just wondering how to hookup a radio to it? Or should i say when the jukebox is not in use it will kick the radio on automatically..

pretty sure you would need a crossover assembly to have the jukebox automatically switch between cds and whatever your output source is connected to.

You would need a automatic audio switch box that has one input being a priority input for the jukebox

its called background music , we had a lot of diners where we had jukes that were hooked to a radio that would play when juke wasn't playing on a 45 record juke its easy you hook a replay to turn table motor when motor goes on relay pulls in cuts off radio , I think there a setting or a plug on cd box for it , but right now I can not recall what was done , you might rig something like a micro switch that the gripper hits , when it sets cd on player

You may need a "Background Music Kit". When the jukebox stops playing a mute circuit in the amplifier shuts off the input from the CD player. So you can't relay your signal in there. It's not a good idea to hook any input to your jukebox amplifier unless you attenuate that input to match the amp's preamp and regulate the volume from your radio. I have seen Iphone's hooked up that have blown up every speaker or the main amplifier in the location (with a defeated mute circuit).
Rowe made a kit that switches the external speakers to another source (for Muzak) when the jukebox stops playing. You can hook your receiver's speaker output this way. I believe these are extinct but Happ makes an aftermarket product or this may be old stock.
