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.

: 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.

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 manufacturers' 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 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-

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

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

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

able. (See Fig. A)

For better sound

You can connect this player to an amplifier and speakers to enjoy better
sound. See the relative diagrams below to connect to an amplifier.

– A stereo amplifier: Use a stereo audio cord.
– An AV amplifier with DTS, Dolby Digital, or MPEG audio decoder: Use

a coaxial digital cord*. You can enjoy the DVD’s DTS, Dolby Digital, or
MPEG audio sound.

– An AV amplifier with Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) decoder: Use a stereo

audio cord or coaxial digital cord*. You can enjoy the DVD’s Dolby
Surround sound.

* If you connect a coaxial digital cord, you cannot use the TVS function of this

player.

Before operating this player, adjust the settings of this player (“DIGITAL
OUT”/“DOLBY DIGITAL”/“DTS”/“MPEG”) according to the connected
components (e.g., amplifier). For details, see “Settings and Adjustments”
on the Blue Side of this manual.

When you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to listen to MPEG audio signals
and set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “AUDIO SETUP,” no sound will come from your
speakers if you select one of the TVS modes.

The power requirements, power consumption, and
region code of this player are indicated at the bottom
of the player. Check that the player‘s operating
voltage is identical with your local power supply.

On safety

• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.

• 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 (mains)

• 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.

On placement

• Do not install the player in an inclined position. It
is designed to be operated only in a horizontal
position.

• 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 location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

• Keep the player and discs away from equipment
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or
large loudspeakers.

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

On the headphones/earphones

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volumes.

extended play. If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

Caring for others

you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate of
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

Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc. It
may cause a malfunction.

your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes about discs

• To keep a disc clean, handle it by its edge. Do not
touch the surface.

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.

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
