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 pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

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.

of fluorescent indicator tube changes to “AM 9 k STEP” or
“AM 10 k STEP”, and thus the channel step is changed over.
[GC Test Mode]
• This mode is used to check the software version, FL tube, LED,
keyboard, headphone and volume.
Procedure:
1. Press three buttons x , ENTER and DISC 2 simultaneously.
2. LEDs and fluorescent indicator tube are all turned on.
3. When ENTER and DISC2 are pressed at the same time, the
key number check mode starts up. In this mode, the key numbers

1. When three buttons of STOP , ENTER , V (CUSOR DOWN)
are pressed at the same time, the MC and the GC microprocessor
version numbers are displayed as “M1.00 G1.00”.
2. When three buttons of STOP , ENTER , v (CUSOR UP) are
pressed at the same time, the model name and destination are
displayed as “BG1 AS1A3”.
