Rock-Ola CD-8 Bubbler plays intermittently
Hi all. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
When I first turn on my jukebox it will play the first selection, although sometimes not all the way through. If I try to play a 2nd song the disc usually won't spin and will be put back in the magazine. If I go into "Test Mode" and "Run CD Tests" I can get the disc spinning and playing properly (usually by adjusting the cd clamper), but once I return to normal mode cds won't play - they may spin a little or not at all. I thought this was probably a laser issue, so I have replaced it twice without success. Any ideas would be appreciated. Don't really want to shell out $500 for an new cd player, but maybe I have to? |

If the laser CD-player works in test mode then it is probably OK, I don't know Rowe machines well enough to help a lot, but the first thing a CD-Player usually does is read the Table Of Contents (TOC). If there is a problem communicating this information to the jukebox computer that may account for your problem, or it could be something else I'm afraid. Does the manual have a troubleshooting guide? Start there or get the shop manual. I may have the more advanced shop manual, but would need to know the exact model number of your machine. I do doubt it is the player though.

Regards Alan Alan Hood ami-man UK Hi Alan, He said earlier "Rock-Ola Nostalgic CD-8 Bubbler Model # - CD8C." however he did not say which player. His symptoms sound more like CD-Control or computer as he can play CDs using the test functions... John :-#)# (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd.
