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.
CAUTION :
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
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.
ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORT
À LA SÉCURITÉ!
LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS PAR UNE MARQUE 0 SUR LES
DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMATIQUES 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.
Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350°C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

1-1. NOTE FOR REPAIR
DCR-VX2100/VX2100E
SECTION 1
SERVICE NOTE
Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of
bent at the terminal.
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.
Cut and remove the part of gilt
which comes off at the point.
(Take care that there are
some pieces of gilt left inside)
When remove a connector, don't pull at wire of connector.
Be in danger of the snapping of a wire.
When installing a connector, don't press down at wire of connector.
Be in danger of the snapping of a wire.

1-2. SERVICE NOTE
1.POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated po wer supply (8.4V), the power is shut of f 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.
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 AC power adaptor. (AC-L10, AC-VQ800 etc. ))
2.TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)
1 Refer to page 2-3 to remove the upper handle block assembly.
2 Refer to page 2-6 to remove the cabinet (L) assembly.
3 Refer to page 2-6 to remove the mechanism deck (Including VC-358 board and DD-216 board).
4 Remove DD-216 board from the mechanism deck (Including VC-358 board).
5 Remove the CN022 (27P 0.3 mm) of VC-358 board.
6 Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor and unload with a pressing the cassette compartment.
DC power supply (+4.5V)

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
"Self-diagnosis Code Table".
Note: The “self-diagnosis display” data will be backed up by the coin-type lithium battery of ZM-030 board BT801, 802. When the (upper) handle block
is removed, the “self-diagnosis display” data will be lost by initialization.
