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.
CCD-TRV138/TRV238E/TRV338/TRV438E
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
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.
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 power supply (8.4V), the po wer 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.).

Correction
Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (Pin qs of CN201 of VC341 board) when focusing is performed when the control dial is
rotated in the focus manual mode and the focus motor drive circuit
(IC201 of VC-341 board) when the focusing is not performed.
Inspect the lens block zoom reset sensor (Pin qg of CN201 of VC-

operated and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC201 of VC-341 board)
when zooming is not performed.
To check the mechanism deck, set the Camera or VTR to the "Forced power ON" mode. (Or, connect the control key
block (SS-5100) to the CN006 of VC-341 board and set the power switch to the "CAMERA" or "PLAY/EDIT" mode.)
Operate the Camera functions of the zoom and focus, the VTR function using the adjustment remote commander

(Measuring conditions voltage and waveform)
•Voltages and waveforms are measured between the

and reference waveforms.
(VOM of DC 10 MΩ input impedance is used)
•Voltage values change depending upon input
impedance of VOM used.)
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.
