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 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.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This appliance is classified as
a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT MARKING is
located on the rear exterior.
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
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.
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
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the “S curve check” in “CD section adjustment” and
check that the S curve waveforms is output three times.

during TUNER function.
• When CD POWER is set to OFF, the power supply to the BU is
cut off during TUNER function. It will increase the time taken
to access CD when function change from TUNER to CD but it
will improve tuner reception.
• When CD POWER is set to ON, the power supply to the BU is
not cut off during TUNER function. It will reduce the time taken
to access CD when function change from TUNER to CD but it
will decrease tuner reception performance.

erase head rubber belts
capstanidlers
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
parts adjusted.
5. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power

1. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head
demagnetizer.
2. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
3. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to the
parts adjust.
4. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power
supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
5. The adjustments should be performed in the order given in this
service manual. (As a general rule, playback circuit adjustment
should be completed before performing recording circuit
adjustment.)
6. The adjustments should be performed for both L-CH and RCH.
7. Switches and controls should be set as follows unless otherwise
specified.

REC BIAS ADJUSTMENT DECK B
Procedure:
In the MC test mode, the “REC memory mode” is convenient for
this adjustment. In the “REC memory mode” , when the REC starts
the input signal FUNCTION is switched to VIDEO automatically.
When the REC stops, the tape returns near to the recording start
position.
1. Press MD (VIDEO) button to select VIDEO. (This step is not
necessary if the above test mode has already been set)
2. Insert a tape into deck B.
3. After press [REC PAUSE/START] b utton, press [REC PAUSE/

Note:
1. CD Block is basically designed to operate without adjustment. Therefore, check each item in order given.
2. Use YEDS-18 disc (3-702-101-01) unless otherwise indicated.
3. Use an oscilloscope with more than 10MΩ impedance.
4. Clean the object lens by an applicator with neutral detergent when the
signal level is low than specified value with the following checks.
S-curve Check
Connection:
Procedure:
1. Connect an oscilloscope to test point TP4 (FE) and TP 7(DVC)
on the CD board.
2. Turn the power on.
3. Put the disc (YEDS-18) in and turned power switch on again
and actuate the focus search. (actuate the focus search when
disc table is moving in and out)
4. Check the oscilloscope waveform (S-curve) is symmetrical
between A and B. And confirm peak to peak le vel within 2.4 ± 1 Vp-p.
