sony cx355 into a rowe cd100 jukebox?

Not that I am aware of. All the commercial CD jukeboxes regardless of who manufactured it were designed to only operate with Philips CD Pro players.
 
Just got this CD100SNY adapter

It is what I have been looking for. http://www.cdadapter.com/download/cd100sny.pdf
now if I could just get it to work. I can't get it to initalize. Going back to the basement to tinker some more with it.
Anyone ever use one of these?
Have any tips?

I can't find any more info on this than the link I posted.
I wrote e-mailed them at cdadapter.com and this is what they sent me.

thanks for any help

Well, got it to play, but only 1 song at a time.

I got it to play, but can't get it to initalize . This is in the free mode.
I guess that's one step closer....
 
Still trying to get this going.

Still can't get it to initalize. I found that the battery in the main CCC is bad. Is that hard to replace? And where and what to buy? And would this stop it from initalizing?
thanks for any help.

Oh yea to any new readers of this it is a Rowe cd100B and I have a cd100sny adapter in it. This connects a sony megadisc player to the CCC of the jukebox and mimmics the factory cd player and control box.
thanks again

I got it to finally initilaze 26 of the cd's, don't know why it won't do them all. Do they have to be store bought cd's? Or will it read self burnt?
Some will only play the first 12 seconds??
thanks for any help

The eprom in the jukebox Central Control Computer might be too old a version of the operating system software. The latest version is 4.3. Yours probably ancient version 2.8 or 3.0

Also, the eprom version in the mechanism control unit should be version 5.3

Rowe CD jukes that old that never got updated software eproms will have problems with homemade discs. These machines were designed only to read commercial store bought discs. The updated software increases the number of tracks per disc it can read from 12 to 99 tracks. It also adds features to allow a much wider tolerance to read out of spec discs (home made in other words).

The battery inside the Central Control Computer is a soldered in coin cell type. Most people replace it with a coin cell battery holder for a CR2032 battery. Then they can buy a common CR2032 at any store whenever the battery goes bad and not have to solder it.

Thanks Ken for responding.

The chip is a 4.1 I purchased a ccc off ebay that was (supposed to be good) the chip was already in it.
Remember that the cd's are in a sony 300 mega-changer with a cd100sny adapter interfacing it to the rowe cd 100b jukebox.
I will try to explain what it is doing.
It will play the first 12 seconds of a song about 2 or 3 times, then it will play the whole song.
I can not put in more than 1 song at a time. If I have a song playing and punch in another one it will go to that one without finishing the 1st one.
Seems like I remember there being a setting somewhere that limits the length of a song, but I can't find it in the manual.

I have reset it to default settings but I'm not sure about all of the other detailed settings, it has some that are not in my manual.

thanks for all your help
