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 PARTS
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 SUPPLY 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 three methods are available to prevent 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.
Press the battery switch of the battery terminal using adhesive tape,
etc.
Method 3.
Use the DC IN terminal. (Use the AC power adaptor.)
