SERVICING NOTES

MZ-R909

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

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 HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
(LCX-4R)

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro­static break-down easily. When handling it, perform soldering
bridge to the laser-tap on the flexible board. Also perform mea­sures against electrostatic break-down sufficiently before the op­eration. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled
with care.

• In performing the repair with the power supplied to the set,
removing the MAIN board causes the set to be disabled.
In such a case, fix a conv ex part of the open/close detect s witch
(S806 on MAIN board) with a tape in advance.
Handle the FLEXIBLE board (overwrite head) with care, as it
has been soldered directly to the MAIN board.
In repairing the component side of MAIN board, connect the
FLEXIBLE board (overwrite head) and the MAIN board with
the lead wires in advance. (See page 7)

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.

laser-tap

OPTICAL PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD

• Replacement of CXD2671-209GA (IC801) used in this set re­quires a special tool.

• The shipment data will be cleared when the NV is reset. There­fore, change the adjusted values following the Change of Ad­justed Values immediately after the NV was reset. (See page

18)

• If the nonvolatile memory was replaced on the set, the modif ied
program data must be written to the nonvolatile memory . In such
a case, write the modified data that meets the microcomputer
version following the patch data rewriting procedure at the
replacement of nonvolatile memory. (See page 23)

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 viscous (sticky , less prone to flow) 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.

SECTION 4

TEST MODE

Outline

• This set provides the Overall adjustment mode that allows CD
and MO discs to be automatically adjusted when in the test mode.
In this overall adjustment mode, the disc is discriminate between
CD and MO, and each adjustment is automatically executed in
order. If a fault is f ound, the system displays its location. Also,
the manual mode allows each individual adjustment to be auto­matically adjusted.

• Operation in the test mode is performed with the set. A key
having no particular description in the text, indicates a set key.

• For the LCD display, the LCD on the remote commander is
shown, but the contents of LCD display on the set are same.

Setting Method of Test Mode

There are two different methods to set the test mode:
1 Short SL801 (TEST) on the MAIN board with a solder bridge

(connect pin <x/x> of IC801 to the ground) and turn on the [HOLD]
switch. Then, turn on the power .

Operation in Setting the Test Mode

• When the test mode becomes active, first the display check mode
is selected.

• Other mode can be selected from the display check mode.

• When the test mode is set, the LCD repeats the following dis­play.

2 In the normal mode, turn on the [HOLD] switch. While press-

ing the [VOL --] key press the following order:

> t > t . t . t > t

. t > t . t X t X

• When the X key is pressed and hold down, the display at that
time is held so that display can be checked.

Caution: On the set having the microcomputer version 1.000,

some adjusted values were set in the manual mode at
the shipment, but these data will be cleared when the
NV is reset. Therefore, on the set having the micro­computer version 1.000, change the adjusted values
following the Change of Adjusted Values immediately
after the NV was reset (see page 18).

Releasing the Test Mode

For test mode set with the method 1:
Turn off the power and open the solder bridge on SL801 (TEST)
on the MAIN board.

Note: Remove the solders completely. Remaining could be shorted with

the chassis, etc.

For test mode set with the method 2:
Turn off the power.

Note: On the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, if electrical

adjustment (see page 18) has not been finished completely , alw ays
start in the test mode. (The set cannot start in normal mode)
On the set having the microcomputer version 2.000 or later, if elec­trical adjustment (see page 18) has not been finished completely,
“NV Error” is displayed on the LCD.

Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode

This set uses the self-diagnostic function system in which if an
error occurred during the recording or playing, the mechanism
control block and the power supply control block in the
microcomputer detect it and record its cause as history in the
nonvolatile memory.
By checking this history in the test mode, you can analyze a fault
and determine its location.
Total recording time is recorded as a guideline of how long the
optical pickup has been used, and by comparing it with the total
recording time at the time when an error occurred in the self­diagnosis result display mode, you can determine when the error
occurred.
Clear both self-diagnosis history data and total recording time, if
the optical pickup was replaced.

• Self-diagnosis result display mode setting method

1. Set the test mode (see page 12).

2. In the display check mode, turn the jog dial (down) or press the

ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS

Outline

• In this set, automatic adjustment of CD and MO can be per­formed by entering the test mode (see page 12).
However, before starting automatic adjustment, the memory
clear, power supply adjustment, and laser power check must be
performed in the manual mode.

• A key having no particular description in the text, indicates a
set key.

• For the LCD display, the LCD on the remote commander is
shown, but the contents of LCD display on the set are same.

Precautions for Adjustment

1. Adjustment must be done in the test mode only.

After adjusting, release the test mode.

2. Use the following tools and measuring instruments.

• Test CD disc TDYS-1
(Part No. : 4-963-646-01)

• SONY MO disc available on the market

• Digital voltmeter

• Laser power meter LPM-8001
(Part No. : J-2501-046-A)

• Thermometer (using the Temperature Correction)

3. Unless specified otherwise, supply DC 3V from the DC IN
3V jack (J601).
