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.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specifi ed herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

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

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONET 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.

SECTION 1

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 fl exible 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 refl ective 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.

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 viscou-s (sticky, less prone to fl ow)

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.

RELEASING THE DISC TRAY LOCK

The disc tray lock function for the antitheft of an demonstration
disc in the store is equipped.

Releasing Procedure:

1. Press [I/

] button to turn the power on.

2. Press the [CD] button to select CD function.

TEST MODE

PANEL TEST MODE

This mode is used to check the fl uorescent indicator tube, LEDs,
keys, [MASTER VOLUME] jog, [OPERATION DIAL] jog, mod­el, destination and software version.

Procedure:

1. Press [x] button, [METER MODE] button and [DISC 2] but­ton simultaneously.

2. All LEDs and segments in fl uorescent indicator tube are lighted
up. The POWER LED is lighted up in red color if the system is
turned off and POWER LED is turn off if the system is turned
on.

3. When you want to enter to the software version display mode,
press [DISC 1] button. The model information appears on
the fl uorescent indicator tube. “GSL 1R” is shown for HCD-
GT111, “GSL 2R” is shown for HCD-GT222, “GSL 2RS” is
shown for HCD-GT444 and “GSL 3RS” is shown for HCD­GT555. Press [DISC 1] button again to view the destination
information.

4. During the destination information display, press [DISC 1]
button. Each time [DISC 1] button is pressed, the fl uorescent
indicator tube shows the version of each category software in
the following sequence: SC, GC, SYS, CD, CDDM, CDMA,
CDMB, BDA, BDB, ST, TC, TA, TM, MM1, MM2 (USB
Micro computer) , MTR (METER) and return back to model
information display.

5. When [DISC 3] button is pressed while the version numbers
are being displayed except model and destination, the date
of the software creation appears. When [DISC 3] button is
pressed again, the display returns to the software version dis­play. When [DISC 1] button is pressed while the date of the
software creation is being displayed, the date of the software
creation is displayed in the same order of software version dis­play.

6. Press [DISC 2] button, the key check mode is activated.

7. In the key check mode, the fl uorescent indicator tube displays
“K 0 J0 V0”.

Each time a button is pressed, “K” value increases. However,

once a button has been pressed, it is no longer taken into ac­count.

“V” value increases in the manner of 0,1, 2, 3 ... if [MASTER

VOLUME] knob is turned clockwise, or it decreases in the
manner of 0, 9, 8,7 ... if [MASTER VOLUME] knob is turned
counterclockwise.

“J” value increases in the manner of 0,1, 2, 3 ... if [OPERA-

TION DIAL] knob is turned clockwise, or it decreases in the
manner of 0, 9, 8,7 ... if [OPERATION DIAL] knob is turned
counterclockwise.

8. When [DISC SKIP/EX-CHANGE] button is pressed after all
LEDs and segments in fl uorescent indicator tube light up, al-
ternate segments in fl uorescent indicator tube and LEDs would
light up. If you press [DISC SKIP/EX-CHANGE] button
again, another half of alternate segments in fl uorescent indica-
tor tube and LEDs would light up. Pressing [DISC SKIP/EX­CHANGE] button again would cause all segments in fl uores-
cent indicator tube and LEDs light up.

9. To release from this mode, press three buttons in the same
manner as step 1, or disconnect the power cord.

2. The CD ring indicators fl ash on the fl uorescent indicator tube.
The function is changed to AUDIO and the volume is changed
to VOLUME MIN.

Check of Amplifi er

Procedure:

1. Press [EQ BAND] button repeatedly until a message “GEQ
MAX” appears on the fl uorescent indicator tube. GEQ increas-
es to its maximum.

2. Press [EQ BAND] button repeatedly until a message “GEQ
MIN” appears on the fl uorescent indicator tube. GEQ decreas-
es to its minimum.

3. Press [EQ BAND] button repeatedly until a message “GEQ
FLAT” appears on the fl uorescent indicator tube. GEQ is set to
fl at.

4. When the [MASTER VOLUME] knob is turned clockwise
even slightly, the sound volume increases to its maximum and
a message “VOLUME MAX” appears on the fl uorescent indi-
cator tube.

5. When the [MASTER VOLUME] knob is turned counterclock­wise even slightly, the sound volume decreases to its minimum
and a message “VOLUME MIN” appears on the fl uorescent
indicator tube.

Note:

1. CD Block is basically designed to operate without adjustment. There­fore, check each item in order given.

2. Use YEDS-18 (PART No. 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 specifi ed value with the following checks.

TEST DISC LIST

Use the following test disc on electrical checks.
YEDS-18 (PART No. 3-702-101-01) or

Procedure :

1. Connect an oscilloscope to TP106 (FE) and TP124 (VC).

2. Turn the power ON.

3. Load a disc (YEDS-18) and actuate the focus search. (In con­sequence of open and close the disc tray, actuate the focus
search)

4. Confi rm that the oscilloscope waveform (S-curve) is symmet-
rical between A and B. And confi rm peak to peak level within

1.8 ± 0.5 Vp-p.

Note:

• Try to measure several times to make sure than the ratio of A : B or B

• Take sweep time as long as possible and light up the brightness to
obtain best waveform.

Procedure :

1. Connect an oscilloscope to TP123 (RFO) and TP124 (VC).

2. Turn the power ON.

3. Load a disc (YEDS-18) and playback.

4. Confi rm that oscilloscope waveform is clear and check if RF
signal level is correct or not.

Note: Clear RF signal waveform means that the shape “◊” can be clearly

distinguished at the center of the waveform.

set

Procedure:

1. Turn on the set.

2. Input the following signal from signal generator to FM antenna
input directly.

• Carrier frequency : A = 87.5 MHz, B = 98 MHz, C = 108 MHz

Deviation : 75 kHz
Modulation : 1 kHz
ANT input : 35 dBu (EMF)

Note: Use 75 ohm coaxial cable to connect signal generator and the set.

You cannot use video cable for checking.

Use signal generator whose output impedance is 75 ohm.

3. Set to FM tuner function and tune A, B and C signals.

4. Confi rm “TUNED” is lit on the display for A, B and C sig-
nals.

When the selected station signal is received in good condition,
“TUNED” is displayed.
