Rowe CD100c

Hi all,
I have a Rowe CD100c Eprom 3.9 That sometimes while playing a cd will
stop dead the display goes through a power up cycle and the cd will
start playing again. There are no errors showing and it is very
annoying. Any suggestions

Many thanks
Mark

I've had similar problems with a CD100F, (Venus). Fluorescents flickering
due to bad tubes or starters causing the CCC to reset, very sensitive
electronics. Check for flickering lights or cold solder joints in the power
supply, especially the connector or header pins. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Steve

This can be caused by a loss of comuniction from the player to the
computer. Which player is in the machine? Clean all connectors involved
and make sure they are on tight.

Thanks for replies i've checked and cleaned all the cables. checked for
dry joints and tried machine with all fluros unplugged, problem still
there the player is a known good CDM4i. I normally work with NSM's.
These Rowes are a bit new to me. Speaking to a friend of mine he has
heard that the 8v line off power supply should show at least 9v can
anybody confirm this.
Many thanks

From what you describe, you have a failing power supply (or possibly
bad power cord?). If you are losing communication from the CCC to the
player, you would be logging an 05-63 error, and you don't have that,
so that rules that out

YES, Fixed it from another website i confirmed the 8v line to the
player should be at least 9v with the CDM4i. The power supply has two
lines but only one connecter, i wired the two lines together by
splicing in a new wire and hey presto she has run perfectly for 8 hours
now.

Thanks for all your replies
If anybody needs to know about NSM jukes they can email me on

Interesing about the 9 volts. I had a Rock-ola Bubbler with a Cdm PRO
player that would lose sound after awhile. Disc would spin and act
normal, just no sound. Problem was 9 volt was high, about 10.5. Fix was
to put a Zener on the output of the regulator in the computer's power
supply. Later editions had this done at the factory.
