I am having probelms with my cd 100-H; there are approximately 15 discs that once you enter the disc number and any track number it displays "not allowed ht". On one disc all tracks play except for one and I receive the following "OCC 15". I have gone through and completed a full intialization of all discs and still have this issue, anyone have any thoughts on this matter and how to resolve it?

Thank you,
Brett
 
Usually your "not allowed" means that the laser did not initialize your cd. Check and make sure your cd's are clean, and try to re-initialize the one cd (just play track one on that particular disc), and see where that gets you. Other than that, I would check your voltages, and your CCC (Central Control Computer). If you can't play the first track on that cd, you'll probably have to re-initialize the whole box again. Try that to start, and see where that gets you.
 
I do believe the H model has a Pro Player which will NOT play burned discs as ken has said. A CDM 3 will play them though.

After you initialize your cds, check to make sure it has initialized the correct number of cds as well. Sometimes this can happen just by putting a cd in backwords or maybe it won't be sitting in the carousel correctly.
 
Strange, burned CDs give me no problem in a 100H, and never have with either a Pro or Pro2 player. However, once the outer rim of a CD is scratched enough from being rubbed in the magazine V-groove, you can trash the CD for jukebox purposes. But, you may still be able to copy the damaged CD provided the last track is not rubbed off as well. Another possibility is a dirty laser eye.

True. I've had CD-PRO players play some, NOT ALL, home-made cd's. I really seemed to depend on what brand cd the person was using. The copied cd's do seem to get dirty though ALOT quicker than a normal cd ( dunno why ).

I have several Rowe cd jukeboxes ( from cd-100 and up ) for sale if anyone is interested. The older the model the cheaper of course, all with cd's.

I suppose some brands of CDs might be a problem, but I have always bought the cheapest available as long as they are 52x music CDs. And it might depend on how the tracks were ripped to begin with (WMA, mp3, mp4, whatever). I always rip mine as mp3s. Any mp4s I might get I use Nero Encoder to convert them to mp3, always convert all the tracks to the same bitrate, and never burn at more than 16x unless I am really in a hurry. WMA tracks are useless for my purposes. A CD burner that is on its last legs might be another possibility, though usually they will just fail to burn the CD when they are on the way out. Two years is about all I get from one.
 
No, the ones that will not play or that I get "not allowed" are all purchased CD's.
 
I have checked the version of the software and it is the most current, I belive it stated ver. 3.1 or 3.7, I will check on that. As far as the CCC, how difficult is that to replace and how do I know if tha could be my problem?
 
I have tried buring dics with Roxio and have not had any luck with them playing. I currently use Windows Media Player and have not had any problems with those discs playing. I have also checked all the discs that do not play and they all appear to be in good shape (no scratches on the outer ring).
 
"Clear Errors" then reinitialize all the discs to see what happens. If you have 100 discs loaded in the machine then it should report 100 initialized.
 
A CCC is a very simple replace. They can also be fixed. Like Ken said, make sure all the discs you have commanded to initialize have initialized.
