SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis function consists of error codes for customers, which are displayed automatically when errors occur, and error codes,
which show the error history in the test mode during servicing. For details on how to view error codes for the customer, refer to the following
box in the instruction manual. For details on how to check error codes during servicing, refer to the following “Procedure for using the SelfDiagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode)”.
Self-diagnosis display
This system has a Self-diagnosis display
function to let you know if there is a system
malfunction. The display shows a code made
up of three letters and a message alternately to
show you the problem. To solve the problem
refer to the following list. If any problem
persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
C11/Protected
The MD is protected against erasure.
t Remove the MD and slide the tab to close the
slot.
C12/Cannot Copy
You tried to record a CD or MD with a format that
the system does not support, such as a CD-ROM.
t Remove the disc and turn off the system once,
then turn it on again.
C13/REC Error
Recording could not be performed properly.
t Move the system to a stable place, and start
recording over from the beginning.

SERVICING NOTES
HCD-PX333
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.
For CD
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.
For MD
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.
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

CLEANING OBJECTIVE LENS OF OPTICAL PICK-UP
• In cleaning the objective lens of optical pick-up, be sure the
following below.
1. In cleaning the lens, do not apply an excessive force.
As the optical pick-up is vulnerable, application of excessive
force could damage the lens holder.
2. In cleaning, do not use a cleaner other than exclusive cleaning
liquid (KK-91 or isopropyl alcohol).
3. Wipe the objective lens spirally from center toward outside. (See
Figure A)
(Figure A)
4. Eject the disk, if loaded.
5. Disconnect the power cord from the socket to shut off the power
supply.
6. When cleaning the objective lens of optical pick-up in CD, refer
to “HOLDER (BU) ASS’Y” on page XX for removing
HOLDER (BU) ASS’Y.

Note on Checking CD Mechanism Deck Section
In performing the operation check with the CD mechanism deck section removed from the main unit, the CD disc loading will be disabled if
the connector cable between MD DIGITAL board (CN1005) and LOADING board (CN151) is disconnected. Accordingly, make preparation
through the following steps.
1. Insert the CD disc for test with the set assembled.
2. Unplug the AC power cord to turn the power off, and remove the CD mechanism deck section. (Disconnect the connector cable between
MD DIGITAL board (CN1005) and LOADING board (CN151), and also the connector cable between MD DIGITAL board (CN1002)
and BD (CD) board (CN101))
3. Connect the CN1005 pin 3 (OUTSW) and pin 2 (GND) on the MD DIGITAL board with a lead wire.
4. Connect the connectors between MD DIGITAL board (CN1002) and BD (CD) board (CN101) with the extension tool (part No.: J-2501-
075-A).
Note 1: Under this condition, the CD can be played but the disc loading operation is disabled.

Example
When 42 is displayed:
Higher bit : 4 = 0100 t b6
Lower bit : 2 = 0010 t b1
In this case, the retry cause is combined of “CLV unlock” and “ader5”.
When A2 is displayed:
Higher bit : A = 1010 t b7 + b5
Lower bit : 2 = 0010 t b1
The retry cause in this case is combined of “Access fault”, “IVR rec error”, and “ader5”.

Reading the Display:
Convert the hexadecimal display into binary display. If more than two causes, they will be added.
Example When 84 is displayed:
Higher bit : 8 = 1000 t b7
Lower bit : 4 = 0100 t b2
In this case, as b2 and b7 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “Emphasis OFF”, “Monaural”,“Original”, “Copyright”, and “Write allowed”.
Example When 07 is displayed:
Higher bit : 0 = 0000 t All 0
Lower bit : 7 = 0111 t b0 + b1 + b2
In this case, as b0, b1, and b2 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “Emphasis ON”, “Stereo”,“Original”, “Copyright”, and “Write prohibited”.
