SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for A C leakage. Check leakage as
described below.

LEAKAGE

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. Follo w 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 A C voltmeter . The “limit” indication
is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-v olta ge
scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are e xamples of
a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See
Fig. A)

SERVICING NOTES

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
break-down because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.

NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK

The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on
the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick­up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

Laser component in this product is capable
of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for
Class 1.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear
exterior.

Notes on chip component replacement

• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.

Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

• Keep the temperature of 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.

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

TEST MODE

[CD Ship Mode]

• This mode moves the optical pick-up to the position durable to
vibration. Use this mode when returning the set to the customer
after repair.

Procedure:

1. Press ?/1 button to turn the set ON.

2. Press CD 1 button and FUNCTION button simultaneously.

3. After the “STANDBY” display blinks six times, a message

“LOCK” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, and the
CD ship mode is set.

[GC Test Mode]

• This mode is used to check the software version, FL tube, LED,
keyboard and VACS.

Procedure:

1. Press three buttons x , DISPLAY , and CD 2 simultaneously.

2. LEDs and fluorescent indicator tube are all turned on.

3. When you want to enter the software version display mode,

press CD 1 . The model number and destination are displayed.

4. Each time CD 1 is pressed, the display changes starting from

MC version, GC version, CD version, CDD version, CDM ver­sion, BD version, ST version, TA version, TM version, TC ver­sion and MD version in this order.

5. Press CD 2 button, and the key check mode is activated.

6. In the key check mode, the fluorescent indicator tube displays

“K 0 J 0 V 0”. Each time a button is pressed, “K 0” value
increases. However, once a button is pressed, it is no longer
taken into account.
“V 0” value increases like 1, 2, 3 ... if rotating VOLUME knob
in “+” direction, or it decreases like 0, 9, 8 ... if rotating in
“–” direction.

7. Also when CD 3 is pressed after lighting of all LEDs and FL

tubes, value of VACS appears.

8. To exit from this mode, press three buttons in the same manner

as step 1, or disconnect the power cord.

[MC Test Mode]

• This mode is used to check operations of the respective sections

of Amplifier, Tuner, CD and Tape.

Procedure:

1. Press the ?/1 button to turn on the set.

2. Press the three buttons of x , DISPLAY and CD 3 simulta-

neously.

3. The “VOLUME” segment flashes.

4. Every pressing of BASS/TREBLE f changes the displays in

the order of

“GEQ MIN”t“GEQ FLAT”t“GEQ MAX”

5. When the VOLUME control knob is turned clockwise even

slightly, the sound volume increases to its maximum and a mes­sage “VOLUME MAX” appears for two seconds, then the dis­play returns to the original display.

6. When the VOLUME control knob is turned counter-clockwise

even slightly, the sound volume decreases to its minimum and a
message “VOLUME MIN” appears for two seconds, then the
display returns to the original display.

7. In the test mode, the default-preset channel is called even when

the TUNER is selected and an attempt is made to call the preset
channel that has been stored in memory, by operating the Shuttle
knob. (It means that the memory is cleared.)

8. When a tape is inserted in Deck and recording is started, the

input source function selects MD automatically.

9. When x button is pressed to stop recording, the Tape (Deck) is
selected and tape is rewound using the m button, tape is re­wound, tape is stops at around the record-starting position and
playback of the recorded portion of the tape is started. If PAUSE
is inserted even once during recording, tape is rewound to the
position around the PAUSE position and is played back.

10.The cold reset is enforced at the same time.

[CD Service Mode]

• This mode can run the CD sled motor freely. Use this mode, for

instance, when cleaning the optical pick-up.

Procedure:

1. Press ?/1 button to turn the set ON.

2. Select the function “CD”.

3. Press three buttons x , FUNCTION , and CD 2 simultaneously.

4. The CD service mode is selected.

5. With the CD in stop status, turn the shuttle knob clockwise to

move the optical pick-up to outside track, or turn the shuttle
knob counter-clockwise to inside track.

6. To exit from this mode, perform as follows:

1) Move the optical pick-up to the most inside track.

2) Press three buttons in the same manner as step 2.

Note: • Always move the optical pick-up to most inside track when exit-

ing from this mode. Otherwise, a disc will not be unloaded.

• Do not run the sled motor excessively, otherwise the gear can be
chipped.

[CD Ship (Memory Clear) Mode]

• Set the CD ship mode and set the default setup when shipped
from the factory at the next AC power on.

Procedure:

1. Press ?/1 button to turn the set ON.

2. Select the function “CD ”.

3. Press three buttons x , FUNCTION and CD 1 simulta-

neously.

4. After the “STANDBY” display blinks six times, a message

“LOCK” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, and the
CD ship mode is set.

[CD/TAPE Repeat 5 Times Limit Release Mode]

• 5 times limit of repeating CD/TAPE is released.

Procedure:

1. Press ?/1 button to turn the set ON.

2. Press three buttons x , FUNCTION and CD 1Z .

3. 5 times limit of repeating CD/TAPE is released.

4. Cold reset is performed at power off.

2. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head demagne­tizer.

3. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.

4. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to the

Procedure:

INTRODUCTION

When set to the test mode performed in Tape Speed Adjust­ment, when the tape is rewound after recording, the “REC memory

mode” which rewinds only the recorded portion and playback is
set.
This “REC memory mode” is convenient for performing this ad-
justment. During recording, the input signal FUNCTION will auto­matically switch to VIDEO.
(After recording, press the m button without stopping will re­turn to the position where recording was started.)

1. Press FUNCTION button to select VIDEO. (This step is not
necessary if the above test mode has already been set.)

2. Insert a tape into deck, press the TAPE REC PAUSE/START
