SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK ! OR DO TTED 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.

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.

ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORT

À LA SÉCURITÉ! LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS P AR UNE MARQUE ! SUR LES DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMA TIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONT CRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NE REMPLACER CES COMPOSANTS QUE PAR DES PIÈSES SONY DONT LES NUMÉROS SONT DONNÉS DANS CE MANUEL OU DANS LES SUPPÉMENTS PUBLIÉS PAR SONY.

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.

SERVICE NOTE

1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS

In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4 V), the power is shut off so that the unit cannot operate. This following two methods are av ailable to prev 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 commander switch to the “ADJ” side.

Method 2.

Use the DC IN terminal. (Use the A C po wer adaptor (A C-L10, A CVQ800 etc. ))

2. TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)

1 Refer to 2-2 to remove the shoe cover. 2 Refer to 2-3. to remove the cabinet (L) assembly. 3 Refer to 2-3. to remove the mechanism deck. 4 Disconnect from CN2303 (4P, 0.8mm) of MR-44 board. 5 Add +4.5 V from the DC PO WER SUPPLY and unload with a

pressing the cassette compartment.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

1. SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis function starts working, and displays on the viewf inder, LCD screen or LCD window 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, LCD screen or LCD window consists of an alphabet and 4-digit 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.

C : 3 1 : 11

Detailed Code

Refer to page 8. Self-diagnosis Code Table.

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”, 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.

3-2. Switching of Backup No.

By rotating the control dial, past self-diagnosis codes will be shown in order. The backup No. in the [] indicates the order in which the problem occurred. (If the number of problems which occurred is less than 6, only the number of problems which occurred will be shown.) [1] : Occurred first time [4] : Occurred fourth time [2] : Occurred second time [5] : Occurred fifth time [3] : Occurred third time [6] : Occurred the last time

3-3. End of Display

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 (BT1050) of the control switch block (FK-4950). When the

control switch block is removed, the “self-diagnosis display” data will be lost by initialization.

Correction

Use the info LITHIUM battery. Remove the cassette, and insert it again after one hour. Clean with the optional cleaning cassette.

Load the tape again, and perform operations from the beginning.

Remove the battery or power cable, connect, and perform

operations from the beginning. Remove the battery or power cable, connect, and perform

operations from the beginning. Inspect the lens block focus MR sensor (Pin wf,wg of CN171 of

CD-234 board) when focusing is performed when the control dial is rotated in the focus manual mode, and the focus motor drive circuit (IC401 of VC-227 board) when the focusing is not performed.

Inspect the lens block zoom MR sensor (Pin 2,3 of CN171 of CD-234 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom lens is operated and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC401 of VC-227 board) when zooming is not performed.

Inspect pitch angular velocity sensor (SE451 of MA-367 board) peripheral circuits.

Inspect yaw angular velocity sensor (SE450 of MA-367 board) peripheral circuits.
