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, through functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
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.
Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350°C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky , less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

1-1. NOTE FOR REPAIR
When installing a connector, don’t press down at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.
CCD-TRV128/TRV228/TRV228E/TRV328/TRV428/TRV428E
SECTION 1
SERVICE NOTE
Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of
bent at the terminal.
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.
Cut and remove the part of gilt
which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some
pieces of gilt may be left inside)
When remove a connector, don’t pull at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.
1-2. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated po wer supply (8.4V), the power is shut of f so
that the unit cannot operate.
The following method is available to prevent this.
Method 1.
Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L10, AC-VQ800 etc.).

1-4. LCD TYPE CHECK
The LCD type can be checked with data value by connecting the adjustment remote commander.
Note: About PD-204 board and LCD module, discriminate LCD type on the machine, and replace the same type.
Preparations:
1) Connect the equipment for adjustments according to Fig. 1.
2) Connect the adjustment remote commander to VC-341 board CN007 via I/F unit for LANC control (J-6082-521-A) and CPC jig connector
(J-6082-539-A).
To operate the adjustment remote commander, connect the A C po wer adaptor to the DC IN jack of I/F unit for LANC control, or connect
the L series Info-LITHIUM battery to the battery terminal of I/F unit for LANC control.
Checking method:
1) Select page: 3, address: CC.
2) By checking the data value of display data, the type of LCD can be discriminated.

Precautions for Replacement of CCD Imager
• The CD-465 board mounted as a repair part is not equipped
with a CCD imager.
When replacing this board, remove the CCD imager from the
old one and mount it onto the new one.
• If the CCD imager has been replaced, carry out all the
adjustments for the camera section.
• As the CCD imager may be damaged by static electricity from
its structure, handle it carefully like for the MOS IC.
In addition, ensure that the receiver is not covered with dusts
nor exposed to strong light.
• -XX, -X mean standardized parts, so they may have some differences from
the original one.
• Items marked “*” are not stocked since they are seldom required for routine
service. Some delay should be anticipated when ordering these items.
•The mechanical parts with no reference number in the exploded views are not
supplied.
• Due to standardization, replacements in the parts list may be different from
the parts specified in the diagrams or the components used on the set.
• CAPACITORS:
uF: µF
• COILS
uH: µH
• RESISTORS
All resistors are in ohms.
METAL: metal-film resistor
METAL OXIDE: Metal Oxide-film resistor
F: nonflammable
• SEMICONDUCTORS
In each case, u: µ, for example:
uA...: µA... , uPA... , µPA... ,
uPB... , µPB... , uPC... , µPC... ,
uPD..., µPD...

When indicating parts by reference number,
please include the board name.
The components identified by mark 0 or

Notes on use
Note on a cassette tape
You can use standard 8 mm a nd Hi8 ,
Digital8 video cassettes on your camcorder. See
page 82 for details.
Notes on recording
• Before starting to record, test the recording function
to make sure the picture and sound are rec or de d
without any problems.
• Compensation for the contents of recordings cannot
be provided, even if recording or pl ayb ac k is not
possible due to a malfunctio n of the camco rder, etc.
• TV color systems differ depending on the country/
regions. To view your recordings on a TV, you need
an NTSC system-based TV.
• Television programs, films, vide o ta pe s, and ot her
materials may be copyrighte d. Unaut horiz e d
recording of such materials m ay be contrary to the
copyright laws.
Notes on the LCD panel, viewfinder, and
lens
• The LCD screen and the viewfinder are
manufactured using extremely hi gh- pr e ci sion
technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are
operational for effec tive use.
However, there may be some tiny black points and /
or bright points (white, red, blue , or gr een in color)
that appear constantly on the LCD scr een a nd the
viewfinder.
These points are norm al results of the ma nufacturing
process and do not affect the recordin g in an y w ay.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder, or the lens
to direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause
malfunctions. Be careful when placing the camera
near a window or outdoors.
• Do not aim at the sun. Doi ng so mi ght cause your
camcorder to malfunction. Take pic tures of the sun
only in low light conditions, such as at dus k.
Note on connecting other device
Before connecting your camcorder to othe r devi ce
such as a VCR or a computer with an USB or i.L INK
cable, be sure to insert the connector plug in the proper
direction. If you insert the connect or plug f or c ibly in
the wrong direction, the termi na l ma y be damaged.
This may cause a malfunction of your camcorder.
Notes on using this manual
