Greetings
" Best deals of your choice". Please visit the site.

Definitely the starter solenoid. This can be a couple dollar fix if you feel like taking it apart.

it should have a free credit button on thecircuit board they usually black or
red just press several times

most all "early models: Rowe CD 100 Laserstar's
Put the slide switch in service position. Go past the errors (if any) by pressing Popular and Reset simultaneously then enter "55" the display should say "free play off" then hold down the reset key and push 9. This will toggle between "off" and "on" Toggle until the display indicates free play "on", then release the reset key and press the popular button. Put the service switch back in to the play position, The display should say "FP" however not all models display it exactly the same. If your computer's battery is good this setting will be retained. If you have to load the factory defaults for any reason OR another problem (dead battery) is causing the factory defaults to be loaded when you power on, this free play setting will be reset to "off" after power is interrupted.

this is a standard reset so if its a problem with the programming this should do the trick if it does not either your cd or laser lens is no longer doing its job properly

turn on the set-press the on stanby button,allow the set to enter demo mode. now press the power button while pressing the stop and eject button,clear all will display


hope this helps

Try this CD realignment process built into the Sharp XL HP505: Have unit off.
Hol down the square (stop) button and the X-BASS button while pressing the ON button. This starts the CD TEST. press play, the memory, then memory, memory, memory, adjustment lights will come on the screen. FOF, TOF, TBAL, TGAN, FGAN, RFLS. press cd1 - track 4, press cd2 - track 9, press cd3 - track 15. Press square (Stop).

If all the cd trays are full, then will light up . This worked for me.

The lens assembly and or microprocessor has failed.
Contact Olympus
Good luck, Paul

Hold down the Display/Menu function button (one of those three buttons on the left of the unit) for about 3-4 seconds until the display reads "t set". When this appears, push the track forward button once (>>|) so the display reads "beep"; now press the play pause button (>||) once. The display will now say "on", push the track forward button (>>|) once to make it read "off"; now push the stop play button. You're done. Enjoy the silence.

when i press the play/pause button discU pops up on the screen and the cd player will not play. Help!!!!!!
