How to solve the Jukebox puzzle in Silent Hill 2 Remake

The Jukebox around which the entire puzzle revolves is found in Neely’s Bar, located on the corner of Neely Street and Sanders Street in the lower part of the east side area of ​​South Veil. This is the first part of the city you’ll explore after passing through the starting area of ​​South Veil, which ends with Silent Hill Ranch. Fortunately, Neely’s Bar is unlocked and you can enter through the front door.

To the right of the entrance is the Jukebox, covered by a tarp. Interact with the machine to remove the cover and find half of a broken vinyl record inside. You will need to repair this disc and also the machine to make the music play and get the key to Neely’s Bar. This item will unlock a door to the left of the bar that you must open to progress in the game. You’ll need to find another broken vinyl record and vinyl glue, a Neely Bar Coin, and a Jukebox Button, all hidden on the east side of South Veil.

Texan Coffee: Neely’s Bar Coin

The Neely’s Bar Coin can be found in the Texan Cafe next to the large white fabric wall at the east end of Katz Street. Enter through the front door and go behind the bar. Interact with the cash register. Turn the key and press “Cash” to open the cash register. Inside is the Bar Neely coin.

Cool music: broken vinyl and vinyl glue

Go west on Katz Street and then north on Neely Street. The “I Love Groovy Music” store is on the left side of the road. You can walk in the front door and find several rows of vinyl records. Unfortunately, these are not the records you need to collect. What you need is deeper in the store.

Go to the wall at the back of the store to find several glass windows. Use your wooden plank to break the glass and then go up to the next room. On the table in the center of the room is the other half of the Broken Vinyl Record and the Vinyl Glue. Go to your inventory and use the Combine action to place the glue and the two vinyl halves together to create the glued vinyl record.

Saul Street Apartments: broken vinyl and glue

Go to Saul Street, located west at the south end of Neely Street. Along the south side of the road are the Saul Street Apartments. Enter the building and go to the end of the hallway. Go through the door on the right and enter the room behind the apartment reception. On the wall opposite reception there is a key ring with a key to apartment #5 hanging on it.

Go up the stairs to the second floor. At the top of the stairs, go left and then turn left again at the end of the hallway to find Apartment #5. Once inside the room, go through the wall on the right, and after a short cutscene, go through another hole in the wall on the right to find an open window that leads to the fire escape. Go up the stairs and enter another open window on the third floor.

Go through the door in front of the window and enter the bathroom on the right. In the wall there is an ominous hole. Have James reach into the hole to pull out the Jukebox button. Exit the bathroom and take the nearby open door to the apartment roof. Go down the stairs back to the street and go back to Neely’s Bar.

Fixing the Jukebox

Now that you have all the important parts, it’s time to play some music. Interact with the Jukebox. The first part of this puzzle is figuring out how to get the vinyl holder to come out of the machine to hold the repaired record. Interact with the green part of the Jukebox on the right until it is aligned with the red hook that is connected to the record holder. Interact with the hook when it is lined up with the green part to connect them. Now turn the green part until it faces the back of the machine. Finally, interact with the blue part in the middle of the machine to push it down. Flip the red and green parts back to the center and use them to remove the record holder, then open the Inventory menu to place the glued vinyl record.

Once the record is entered, it will be taken to the top of the machine. Place Neely’s coin in the coin slot on the right side of the machine. And place the Jukebox button in open space #2 in the row of red buttons on the left. With everything fixed and connected, all that’s left to do is choose the right song. The slot where the vinyl was inserted was the second one from the blue part of the stack. Press the blue “C” button and then press button #2.

Once both are pressed, the record will be selected and begin a cutscene that shows the track playing while also opening a secret compartment with Neely’s bar key found inside. Use this key on the door on the other side of the bar to enter the alley behind the bar. This will eventually lead to Wood Side Apartments Key, the next important location to visit in Silent Hill.
