CAUTION

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DO TTED 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.

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.

Ver. 1.0 are shown in blue.

1. SERVICE NOTE

1-1. METHOD FOR COPYING OR ERASING THE DATA IN INTERNAL MEMORY

The data can be copied/erased by the operations on the Setup screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.)

Note 1: When replacing main board, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement.
Note 2: When replacing main board, execute formatting and initialize the internal memory after replacement.

Method for Copying the Data in Internal Memory

Copy

Copies all images in the internal memory to “Memory Stick Duo” med ia.

1 Insert “Memory Stick Duo” media having sufficient free capacity.
2 Select [Copy] with v/V on the control button, then press z.

The message “All data on internal memory will be copied” appears.

3 Select [OK] with v, then press z.

Copying starts.

To c a ncel copying

Select [Cancel] in step 3, then press z.

•Use a fully charged battery pack. If you attempt to copy image files using a battery pack with little
remaining charge, the battery pack may run out, causing copying to fail or possibly corrupting the data.

•You cannot select images to copy.

•The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the
internal memory, remove the “Memory Stick Duo” media after copying, then format the internal memory
([Format] in [Internal Mem o ry Tool]).

•A new folder is created on the “Memory Stick Duo” media and all the data will be copied to it. You cannot
choose a specific folder and copy images to it.

•The (Print order) marks on the images are not copied.

Method for Formatting the Internal Memory

This item does not appear when “Memory Stick Duo” media is inserted in the camera.

Format

Fo

rmats the internal memory.

•Note that formatting permanently erases all data in the internal memory, including even protected images.

1 Select [Format] with v/V on the control button, then press z.

The message “All data on internal memory will be erased” appears.

2 Select [OK] with v, then press z.

Formatting starts.

To cancel formatting

Select [Cancel] in step 2, then press z.
