SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched”
or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to
the customer and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend
their replacement.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING !!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK ! OR DOTTED LINE WITH
MARK ! ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE P ARTS
LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE
COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS
APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS
PUBLISHED BY SONY.
5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6. Flexible Circuit board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270°C during
repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.

SERVICE NOTE
1. POWER SUPPL Y DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied (8.4V) to the
battery terminal using the service power cord (J-6082-223-A), the
power is shut off so that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to pr ev ent this. Take note
of which to use during repairs.
Method 1.
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B)
to the LANC jack, and set the remote commander switch to the
“ADJ” side.
Method 2.
Use the DC IN terminal. (Use the AC power adaptor.)

1 Refer to 2-1. to remove the front panel block.
2 Refer to 2-2. to remove the cabinet (R) block.
3 Refer to 2-7. to remove the battery panel block.
4 Refer to 2-9. to remove the cabinet (L) block.
5 Add +5V from the DC POWER SUPPLY and unload with a
pressing the cassette lid.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
e
1. Self-diagnosis Function
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder what to do.
This function consists of two display; self-diagnosis display and
service mode display.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

2. Self-diagnosis display
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder shows a 4-dig it display consisting of an alphabet and
numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates
the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and
“detailed code” of the problem.

3. Service Mode Display
The service mode display shows up to six self-diagnosis codes shown in the past.
3-1. Display Method
While pressing the “STOP” key, set the switch from OFF to “VTR or PLAYER”, and continue pressing the “STOP” key for 5 seconds
continuously. The service mode will be displayed, and the counter will show the backup No. and the 5-character self-diagnosis codes.

Turning OFF the power supply will end the service mode display.
Note: The self-diagnosis display data will be backed up by the coin-type lithium battery. When this coin-type lithium battery is
disconnected, the self-diagnosis data will be lost by initialization.

Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (Pin !ª of CN551 of VC-195
board) when focusing is performed when the focus dial is rotated in the
focus manual mode and the focus motor drive circuit (IC552 of VC-195
board) when the focusing is not performed.
