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 po wer
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 (Upper) assembly.
3 Refer to 2-4. to remove the cabinet (R) assembly.
4 Refer to 2-9. to remove the memory stick connector assembly.
5 Refer to 2-10. to remove the battery panel section.
6 Refer to 2-11. and 2-12. to remove the cabinet (L) section. (Include the CS frame assembly and control switch block (SS-1380).)
7 Disconnect CN4401 (2P) of VC-262 board.
8 Add +5V from the DC POWER SUPPLY and unload with a pressing the cassette compertment.
