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.

MARKING is located on the bottom of the unit (Except E, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thai).

4. Look for parts which, though 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.

This label is located on the bottom of the unit (AEP, UK, New Zealand, Australian).

WARNING!!

WHEN SERVICING, DO NO T APPR O A CH THE LASER EXIT WITH THE EYE TOO CLOSELY. IN CASE IT IS NECESSARY TO CONFIRM LASER BEAM EMISSION, BE SURE TO OBSERVE FROM A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 25 cm FROM THE SURFACE OF THE OBJECTIVE LENS ON THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK.

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.

CAUTION:

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye hazard.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

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.

SECTION 1

GENERAL

DVP-FX720

This section is extracted from instruction manual (3-274-988-11).

Precautions

Road safety

Do not use the monitor unit and headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. Doing so may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

•The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

•Do not touch the mains lead or the AC adaptor with wet hands. Doing so may cause shock hazard.

On temperature increases

Heat may build up inside the player during charging or if it is being used for a long time. This is not a malfunction.

On placement

•Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player.

•Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes.

•Do not place the player in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

•To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the ventilation of the apparatus with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

•Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, sand, moisture, rain, or mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows closed.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

•When you move the player, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

•Keep the lens on the player clean and do not touch it. Touching the lens may damage the lens and cause the player to malfunction. Leave the disc lid closed except when you insert or remove discs.

On Liquid Crystal Display

•Although manufactured with high precision technology, the LCD may occasionally display dots of various colours. That is not a malfunction.

•Do not wipe the LCD surface with wet cloth. If water enters, a malfunction may result.

•Do not place or drop any object onto the LCD surface. Also, do not apply pressure from hands or elbows.

•Do not damage the LCD surface with a cutter and sharp cutlery.

•Do not shut the LCD with the ballpoint etc. put on the disc lid.

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense over the LCD surface. In which case, wipe out the moisture with tissue paper, etc., before use. However, moisture condensation will continue if the LCD surface is cold. Wait until the surface warms to room temperature.

On AC adaptor

Install this system so that the mains lead can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

• Use the supplied AC adaptor for this player, as other adaptors may cause a malfunction.

•Do not confine the AC adaptor in a closed place such as a bookshelf or an AV cabinet.

•Do not connect the AC adaptor to a traveler’s electric transformer, which may generate heat and cause a malfunction.

On battery pack

•Certain countries may regulate disposal of the battery used to power this product. Please consult with your local authority.

•Because of the battery’s limited life, its capacity gradually deteriorates over time and repeated use. Purchase a new one when the battery holds about only half the normal period.

•The battery may not be charged to its fullest capacity when charged for the first time, or when it has not been used for a long time. The capacity recovers after being charged and discharged several times.

•Do not leave the battery pack in a car or direct sunlight, where temperature goes up above 60 ºC.

•Do not expose to water.

•Avoid short-circuiting the battery connecting jacks (A) located on the bottom of the player and the connecting jacks (C) on the battery pack with metal objects such as a necklace.

•Make sure dust or sand does not enter the battery connecting jacks (A) and the guide holes (B) located on the bottom of the player, and the connecting jacks (C) and the guide holes (D) on the battery pack.

Bottom of the player

•Do not place the car adaptor in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight or mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows closed.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.

On headphones

•Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones at high volumes. Hearing experts advice against continuous, loud, and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

•Showing consideration for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and still be considerate to the people around you.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This player is capable of holding a still video image or onscreen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen.
