Hi all,
Few questions if anyone can help.

1) Can you have more than 1 cancel button active at a time (the one on the unit and one on a remote)? I have a remote and I wired it up, it worked for volume but not cancel. Not sure if the button is bad or I wired it wrong. But want to understand if its even possible to have two active cancel buttons. I want the one on the jukebox to work and a separate one outside with a wired remote.

2) Can you independently control volume on specific speaker pairs with a remote and the primary volume. Basically like zone 1 is controlled by the jukebox volume control and zone 2 is controlled by the remote volume. I assume no without an external switch/volume control unit.

2) Can anyone tell me what each terminal is on the wiring? I have the owner's manual but it shows a 6 wire terminal but in the jukebox itself there is only 5.

Thanks.

Rowe made three different hard wired remote volume control assemblies and one wireless infrared remote volume for the cd100 and wp100 series.

The hard wired versions are these:

Standard "stereo" (one knob) with cancel button (uses 3 wires to hook up). This is the one most commonly used. Controls volume equally of all speakers.

Dual channel (two concentric knobs) with cancel button (uses 4 wires to hook up). This is the one to use when you need two zones of speakers to control. Also known as two channel mono volume control. All of the jukebox internal speakers are connected to one channel and the external speakers to the other channel. In the case of wall mount jukes with no internal speakers, you'll have two seperate channels of mono sound to feed to different rooms with volume adjusted seperately by the remote two channel volume control. This sounds like the one you want.

Stereo (one knob) with remote power on-off switch and cancel button. This uses 5 wires to hook up. Juke must have optional power on-off remote circuitry installed in the jukebox.

Wireless:

Infrared wireless remote. Uses a tv like remote control to not only change the volume (can be set to stereo or dual channel mono modes), but also to cancel, enter selections, add credits/set free play, turn jukebox on/off. Not all jukebox Centrol Control Computers had the correct software eprom installed to use this function. Needs at least version 2.7 and up software to use this function.

You can use more than one cancel button connected, but not two volume controls (juke internal and an external) at the same time as they will be in conflict with each other.

There is another option you might think about: the Rowe amplifier accessory board kit. This allows all kinds of inputs/outputs to and from the amplifier both before and after the volume control. This would be for using external amplifiers or other forms of volume controls to feed banks of speakers in several locations each having their own volume controls.

Here are the instructions for each form of remote volume controls Rowe made:



 
Awesome info. Thank you sir. So given the conflicting volume potential I may just use the primary volume for all but wire a secondary remote cancel button so I can cancel from both inside and outside. Can I just use any standard momentary switch and wire that to the common and the cancel? Do you know which one is the cancel in my terminal block in the pic? My manual and the ones you posted show 6 terminals but mine only has 5. I assume its the one to the right of the common? Thanks again.
 
An update for anyone else trying to do something like this. I picked up a momentary switch at Lowes (Item #427637) and connected it as pictured in the attachment and it worked and the cancel switch in the jukebox continued to work as well. Looks like the terminal next to the common is the cancel in a 5 terminal config.
