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.

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 code (J-6082-223-A), the power
is shut off so that the unit cannot operate.
These following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.

Method 1.

Use the DC IN terminal. (Use the AC power adaptor.)

Method 2.

Connect the adjustment remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the HOLD switch to the “ADJ” side.

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

1 Refer to 2-3. to remove the front panel section.
2 Refer to 2-4. to remove the cabinet (L) section.
3 Refer to 2-5. to remove the cabinet (R) section.
4 Open the control switch block (FK-1000).
5 Disconnect CN4401 (2P) of VC-256 board.
6 Add +5V from the DC POWER SUPPLY and unload with a pressing the cassette compertment.

7

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 viewfinder or LCD or
Display 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.

Detailed Code

Refer to page 6 and 7.
Self-diagnosis Code Table.

2. Self-diagnosis Display

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder or LCD or Display window shows a 4-digit display
consisting of an alphabet and 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.

Display window

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 “VCR or PLAYER”, 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.

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 built-in rechargeable lithium battery (CF-1000 block BT101).

When the cabinet (R) assembly is disconnected, the “self-diagnosis displa y” data will be lost by initialization.
