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.
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.
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.

On handling the LCD screen
Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. Doing so could cause a malfunction.
Using the player in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the player returns to normal temperature, the screen will return to normal.
A residual image may appear on the screen if the same image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The residual image will disappear after a short time.
If you are going to leave the player for a long time, turn off the power.
The screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
On headphones
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volumes. Hearing experts play. If you the volume or
advise against continuous, loud, and extended
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
discontinue use.
5
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 adjusting the volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signal. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak-level section is played.
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. Yo u should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Do not install the monitor display where viewable by the driver.

Basic Usage Precautions
Positioning the Player
Do not set the player in the following types of places.
Wobbly tables or other unstable surfaces
On top of rugs or futons
Damp or poorly ventilated places
About the LCD Display
Although the LCD screen is manufactured with high-precision technology, black dots may sometimes appear, and red, blue, or green spots may remain on the screen. This is not a malfunction.
Do not wipe the LCD screen with anything wet. Moisture getting into the screen may cause a malfunction.
Dusty places
Places in direct sunlight, or with high temperature
Extremely cold places
Close to tuners, televisions, or video players/decks
(Using this player near audio/video tuners, televisions, or video players/decks may cause sound distortions or disruptions to image quality. Since such distortions or disruptions are more common with an indoor antenna, use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.)
Install this system so that the power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.
Do not place the device anywhere it may get wet. Do not rest flower vases or any type of water container on it.
Do not drop or place objects on the LCD screen. Additionally, never rest your weight on the screen with elbows or any other body part.
Carrying the player from cold to warm places, such as from the outdoors into a warm room, may cause condensation to form on the LCD screen. If condensation develops, wipe up all drops before using. Tissue paper or equivalent is recommended for wiping away drops of condensation. When the LCD screen has been in a cold place, even after wiping away drops of moisture, condensation may still occur. Therefore, please wait before until the LCD screen warms up to room temperature before using it.
Basic Usage Precautions (continued)

Using the AC adaptor
Please use the AC adaptor that is included with the player . Using an adaptor not intended for the player may cause a malfunction.
Do not connect any type of overseas traveling electrical transformer, as this may cause overheating or malfunction.
When adjusting the sound volume
Compared with a record, there is extremely little background noise or static on a disc. Adjusting the sound by listening to a recording or portion thereof without any vocal component may result in unintentionally setting the volume loud, and may cause damage to the speakers. Before playing any music, make sure to always set the volume low.
