Has anyone got one of these???
On occasion whilst playing a track from the hard drive the track will
stop and the system will lock up and on the lcd on the remote it
displays the word "AT out" , the only way to get it back working is to
power down the unit wait a few minutes and then power up again and
sometimes it comes back on ok.
We use it in a restaurant so it can get a bit weird if the music just
stops.

Has anyone else seen this fault in it or can they point me to a user
forum for that jukebox.

TIA

Have you considered the possibility of a mains borne supply transient
(spike) causing the processor to lock up. This was certainly a problem with
very early computers. Could be you're getting the problem from switching
heavier electrical loads in the restaurent like heating elements or large
extraction motors etc. Is your juke box mains plugged via a mains filter?
If not it would certainly be worth a try (& cheap) before delving.
