SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK ! OR DO TTED LINE WITH
MARK ! 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.
ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORT
À LA SÉCURITÉ!
LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS P AR UNE MARQUE ! SUR LES
DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMA TIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONT
CRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NE
REMPLACER CES COMPOSANTS QUE PAR DES PIÈSES SONY
DONT LES NUMÉROS SONT DONNÉS DANS CE MANUEL OU
DANS LES SUPPÉMENTS PUBLIÉS PAR SONY.
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.

SERVICE NOTE
k
1.POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 5 seconds after power is supplied (8.4V) to the
battery terminal using the service power cord (J-6082-223-A), the
power is shut off so that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are av ailable to prev ent this. Take note
of which to use during repairs.
Method 1.
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B)
to the LANC jack, and set the remote commander switch to the
“ADJ” side.

2.HOW TO TAKE A CASSETTE OUT WHEN THE MAIN POWER
CANNOT BE TURNED ON (FORCED EJECTED)
Procedure:
1.Remove the cassette lid referring to the section “2. DISASSEMBLY, 2-1”.
2.Remove the operation switch block (FK-71 board) referring to the section “2. DISASSEMBLY, 2-5”.
3.Remove the CB-61 board referring to section “2. DISASSEMBLY, 2-4”, and remove the FP-586 flexible board from CN3140 (4P) on
the RJ-77 board.
4.Apply +4.5 V from the regulated power supply to the loading motor terminal as shown below and remove the cassette.
CAUTION: Be careful not contact with the lid frame assembly when applying +4.5 V.

2.SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder shows a 4-digit display consisting of an alphabet and
numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates
the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and
“detailed code” of the problem.
Note: Set the DISPLAY in the menu system to V-OUT/LCD only for the
model with LCD screen, and press the DISPLAY button.
Detailed Code
Refer to page 7.
Self-diagnosis Code Table.
3.SER VICE MODE DISPLAY
The service mode display shows up to six self-diagnosis codes shown in the past.
3-1.Display Method
While pressing the “STOP” key, set the switch from OFF to ON, and continue pressing the “STOP” key for 10 seconds continuously. The
service mode will be displayed, and the counter will show the backup No. and the 5-character self-diagnosis codes.

3-2.Switching of Backup No.
By rotating the control dial, past self-diagnosis codes will be shown in order. The backup No. in the [] indicates the order in which the
problem occurred. (If the number of problems which occurred is less than 6, only the number of problems which occurred will be shown.)
[1] : Occurred first time[4] : Occurred fourth time

3-3.End of Display
Turning OFF the power supply will end the service mode display.
Note: The “self-diagnosis displa y” data will be backed up by the coin-type lithium battery of FP-571 flexible board. When this coin-type lithium ba ttery
is removed, the “self-diagnosis display” data will be lost by initialization.
