SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0OR 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 to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the power is shut off 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 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 2-3 to remove the top cabinet assembly. 2 Refer to 2-3 to remove the front panel assembly. 3 Refer to 2-4 to remove the cabinet (R) assembly. 4 Refer to 2-5 to remove the battery panel section. 5 Open the VC-260 board.

6 Disconnect CN007 (27P, 0.3mm) of VC-260 board. 7 Open the cassette lid.

8 Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor 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 viewfinder, 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.

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 “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.

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 of CK-101 board BT8301. When the cabinet (R) (CK-101 board) is removed, the “self-diagnosis display” data will be lost by initialization.
