The circuit boards listed below [Table 1] used in these models may have been processed using Lead Free Solder. The boards are identified by the LF logo located close to the board designation e.g. F1, H1 etc [ see examples ]. The servicing of these boards requires special precautions to be taken as outlined below.

Table 1

CAUTION

Lead Free Soldered Boards

example 1

example 2

It is strongly recommended to use Lead Free Solder material in order to guarantee optimal quality of new solder joints. Lead Free Solder is available under the following part numbers :

Due to the higher melting point of Lead Free Solder the soldering iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees centigrade. This requires soldering equipment capable of accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat recovery characteristics.

For more information on the use of Lead Free Solder, please refer to http://www.sony-training.com

MRX1 SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE

The identification of errors within the MRX1 chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty. If a device is found to be faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted).

Switching On the TV and Automatically Tuning

The first time you switch on your TV, a sequence of menu screens appear on the TV enabling you to: 1) choose

the language of the menu screen 2) Choose the country in which you are going to operate the TV, 3) set the

clock 4) check how to connect optional equipment to your TV, 5) search and store all available channels (TV

Broadcast) and 6) change the order in which the channels (TV Broadcast) appear on the screen.

However, if you need to change any of these settings at a later date, you can do that by selecting the appropriate

option in the (Set Up menu) or by pressing the Auto Start Up button on the media receiver.

Connect the display unit and the media receiver unit to

the mains socket (220-240V AC, 50/60Hz).

The first time that the TV set is connected, it is usually turned on.

If the TV is off, press the

on/off button on the TV set to turn on

the TV.

The first time you switch on the TV, a Language menu appears

automatically on the TV screen.

Press the V, v, B or b buttons on the remote control to select your

language, then press the OK button to confirm your selection. From

now on all the menus will appear in your chosen language.

The Country menu appears automatically. Press the v or V button

to select the country in which you are using the TV. Press the OK

button to confirm your selection.

• If the country in which you want to use the TV set does not

appear in the list, select “Off” instead of a country.

• To avoid wrong teletext characters for cyrillic languages we

recommend selecting Russia if your own country does not

appear in the list.

The Clock Set menu appears on the TV screen to set the current date

and time.

A diagram appears showing you how to connect a wide range of

equipment to your TV set. Follow the instructions and press the

OK button to remove the picture and continue the automatic

process.

The connection diagram should be used as a guide only as

most equipment can be connected to more than one type of

TV socket. Once the TV has completed the automatic

tuning process, refer to the ‘Connection Guide’ section on

page 27 for further information on getting the best set up for

your equipment.

The Auto Tuning menu appears on the screen. Press the OK

button to select Yes.

The TV starts to automatically search and store all

available broadcast channels for you.

This procedure could take some minutes. Please be patient

and do not press any buttons, otherwise automatic tuning

will not be completed.

In some countries the TV Broadcaster installs the channels

automatically (ACI system). In this case, the TV

Broadcaster sends a menu in which you can select your city

by pressing the

v or V button and OK to store the

channels.

If no channels were found during the auto tune process, a

message appears automatically on the screen asking you to

connect the aerial. Check the aerial connection (refer to

Remote Control Configuration for VCR or DVD

In it’s default condition this remote control will operate the basic functions of this Sony TV, Sony DVDs and

most Sony VCRs. To control VCRs and DVDs of other manufacturers (and some Sony VCR models), the

remote control needs to be configured.

To do this:

• Before you start, look up the 3 digit code for your brand of DVD or VCR from the list below.

On those brands that have more than one code, enter the first code number.

refer to the code table included with the remote control for latest code set.

• A small label is provided inside the battery door to allow you to record your brand codes.

1 Press and hold the

button on the remote control for approximately 6

seconds until the green DVD and VCR light of the Media Selector starts

flashing (see fig. 1).

2 While the VCR and DVD lights are flashing, enter all three digits of the

code for your brand of VCR or DVD (see the list below) using the number

buttons on the remote control (see fig. 2).

If your selected code is entered correctly, the green VCR or DVD

light (according to your selection) will be lit momentarily (see fig.

3), otherwise repeat all the above steps.

3 Turn on your VCR or DVD and check that the main functions (playback,

stop, rewind, fast forward and channel selection for both VCR and DVDs

as well as Menu and cursors buttons only for DVDs) work.

• If your device is not working or some of the functions do not work please check that you

entered the correct code or try the next code listed against the brand.

• Not all brands are covered and not all models of every brand may be covered.

4 Always remember to press the

button until the green light iluminates according to

the equipment you want to operate with this remote control: VCR, TV or DVD. Refer to pages
