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, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below.

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester , such as the Simpson 229 or RCA

WT -540A. Follow the manuf acturers' instructions to use these

instruments.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245

digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a

VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-

tion is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-

voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63T rd are ex-

amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery

operated digital multimeters that have a 2V A C range are suit-

able. (See Fig. A)

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.

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 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:

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.

•A disc recorded in a color system other than NTSC, such as PAL or SECAM (this player conforms to the NTS C color system).

•A disc that has a non-standard shape (e. g., card, heart).

•A disc with paper or stickers on it.

•A disc that has the adhesive of cellophan e tape or a sticker still left on it.

Note

Some DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs cannot be played on this player due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device. The disc will not play if it has not been correc tly finalized. Also, discs may not play if they ha ve been recorded with images that contain CPRM* (Content Protection for Recor dable Media) protection. For more information, see the opera ting instructions for the recording device. Note that discs created in the Packet Write format cannot be played. *CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable

Media) is a coding technology that protects the copyright of images.

Note on playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this player plays DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the softwa re producers designe d, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

Notes about the Discs

•To keep the disc clean, h andle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

•Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car.

•After playing, store the disc in its cas e.

•Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

•Do no t use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Simple Start Guide

Quick Overview

A quick overview presented in this guide will give you enough info rmation to start using the player for your enjoyment. To use the surround sound features of th is player, refer to “Hookups” on page 18 .

Notes

•You cannot connect this player to a TV that does not have a video input jack.

•Be sure to disconnect the power cord of each component before connecting.

Step 1: Unpacking

Check that you have the following items:

•Audio/video cord (pinplug × 3 y pinplug × 3) (1)

•Remote commander (remote) (1)

•Size AA (R6) batteries (2)

Step 2: Inserting Batteries into the Remote

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two Size AA (R6) batteries by matching the 3 and # ends on the batter ies to the markings inside the compartment. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the player.

Notes

•Do not lea ve the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

•Do not drop any fo reign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

•Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or a lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

About MP3 audio tracks

You can play MP3 audio tracks on CDROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the discs must be record ed according to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, or Joliet f ormat for the player to recognize the tra cks. You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.

See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device or recording software (not supp lied) for details on the recording format.

To play a Multi Session CD

This player can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is located in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks, recorded in the later sessions, can also be played back. When audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Notes

• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

•The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format.

The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks
