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

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.

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...

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.
