SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITH
MARK 0 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.
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.

1.POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the po wer is shut of f so
that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.
Method 1
Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L10, AC-VQ800, AC-SQ950 etc.).
Method 2
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the “ADJ” side.
2.TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)
1 Refer to 2-2. to remove the HS cover.

3.DISCHARGING OF THE FLASHLIGHT POWER SUPPLY CAPACITOR
The capacitor (C2010) of the flash unit (MC1850) is charged up to the maximum 300V potential. There is a danger of electric shock by this
high voltage when the flash unit (MC1850 or ST1850) is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the char ged v oltage which is kept
without discharging when the main power of the unit is simply turned of f. Ther efore, the remaining volta ge must be discharged as described
below.
3-1.DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR USING THE SHORT JIG
3-1-1.PREPARING THE SHORT JIG
T o preparing the short jig. a small clip is attached to each end of a resistor of 1kΩ/1W (1-215-869-11). Wrap insulating tape fully around the
