I recently purchased a R-81 AMI jukebox and when i got it home it doesnt work right. the turn table spins but i have to help the needle to the record, after the song is finished, the relay will activate, but nothing happens. Can you give me a place to start looking for the problem?

You need to use an audio CDr, data or computer CDr's will not work in this machine.

How do you get the arm back over the carousel so you can play a CD initially?

The gripper motor is powered by the K6 switch which is a copper wiper ring you can see at the end of the gearbox. If that is dirty or has a dead spot it will stop the motor before it should.

Hello,

With regards to your problem with the Rowe Ami 100 cd jukebox.
Do you have a manual, if not I suggest you buy a printer manual or one on CD and refer to the Programming and Installation section.

In order for the jukebox to know about the cd's that are installed in the jukebox it has to initialize all or the changed cd's that have been replaced within the jukebox.

Put the jukebox into the Service Mode (the service mode should appear on the display)
Type 3 to select the Initialize sub menu
Type 0 and full initialize will appear on the display
Press Popular to start the initialization
Place the jukebox service switch into the normal mode

Initiazation will take around 30 minutes to complete.
