Rockola CD8 Jukebox battery replaced but now have Programming Issue

[twistertime]

I am working on a Rock Ola CD-8 Bubbler jukebox that is in my home and only used occasionally.It had lost the programming and so I measured the onboard NiCad battery and only had 1.25 volts and so I replaced with a Radio Shack 3.6v 700mah battery pack and installed outside the
Control Computer.
Was able to power up and reset the unit back to Free play. The issue I am having is that the programming to be able to play a complete album is not taking for some reason.
Am able to get to S-4, 2 and then enter a number but when I try to enter 0 so that it will play the complete album all I get is a dash(-). After I save this it will not play the complete album, maybe 3 or 4 songs, replaces the cd, scans again and selects the cd again and plays the next song.

I am no expert but is it possible that I had to remap all the cds also? After I did the battery replacement all I did was set it to free play mode and try to enter the programming to play the complete album.

Could someone please help me in explaining to me what I should reprogram in order to get back to normal.

Regards

Tony

Hi Tony, Yes after a battery failure you must remap all the CD's

Hello Jeff and thanks for the reply. I remapped all the cd's and there still seems to be an issue where if I select one cd and play the album ( Press 00) then it may play 2-3 songs and then place the cd on the carousel, complete one revolution and then the same cd is selected but starts at the next song. Is this normal? I assumed it played the complete cd when selected, without putting it back in the carousel.


Thanks for any replies.

Tony

There may be an option setting that stops the playback of an album after
4 songs and it then does a quick search to see if anyone else made a
subsequent selection so they don't have to wait an unreasonable length
of time.

Wurlitzer has such a setting for album play it can be adjusted from 1 to
XX tunes played from the same CD (album selected) before doing a hunt
for other selections.

Should be in the settings menu of your manual...

Hi Tony,

I remember a small door Black amp Rockola setup that I had a few years
ago that would only play a few songs of an album when the entire album
was requested, it would play 5 songs, put the CD back then select it
again and play the next 5 songs etc... until it played the entire album.
It didn't matter what was coded for tracks in a row.... I'm pretty sure
that I had the computer chip flashed with a newer version and the
problem went away.

What year is your machine? Does it have AMI Rowe Guts or Rockola Guts?

If its a late 1980's Ami Row guts machine, make sure the following is
coded, If its an early Rockola machine, look for the following
equivalents in the programming when you go thru the menus... especially
for tracks in a row.

55 - FREE PLAY to ON

65 - ALBUM BUY to ON

67 - TRKS IN A ROW to 99

6992 – FREE ALBUM to ON

691 FREE PLAY to FIFO –


If its a Rockola guts machine, look for the equivalent commands above...
below:


Rock-Ola Quick Find Reference Programming

To program, open front door then “double click” red button.
From the SETUP MODE enter the 2 or 3 digit number and push the HITS
button. To change settings, press HITS to make setting flash then Toggle
choices with #1 and #2 or enter numeric value. Press
HITS to lock in setting. Use left and right “Turn Pages”
buttons to navigate menus.

Start with getting a manual...then check the error codes and let us know
what it means.

A manual will save you all sorts of future grief and gives a list of
part numbers, and other info that is handy. Like the owners manual for a
car, it just makes sense to have one.

Victoryglass.com or possibly Rock-Ola.com can sell you a good copy.
