When replacing the lithium battery, ensure that the battery is installed with + and _ poles connected to the correct terminals. An incorrect connection may cause an explosion or leakage of fluid as a result, physical damage in the surrounding materials may be caused.
A lithium battery on the MPU-124 board is used to back up the date data to be stored in the memory stick. Reset the date data using he RM configuration menu is the Maintenance menu (Refer to the operation manual “Initial Settings”.) after replacing the MPU-124 board or the dead battery.
Replacement part : BT1 (MPU-124 board) DescriptiWon : CR-2032 (Lithium battery) Parts number : ! 1-528-174-31 Recommended replacement period : Every 7 years
m . When replacing the MPU-124 board, it is recommended
to replace the battery at the same time.
. Resetting the date data is required also when the battery
is removed from the battery holder.

1-10-3. Writing and Rewriting the PLD
Internal Data
This unit uses the PLD (Programmable Logic Device) that supports the e-Production (EPR) system to write and rewrite the internal data. If the part listed below needs to be replaced or to be upgraded, contact your Sony Sales Office/Service Center.
n
The part number of PLD (or ROM for PLD) in which data is not written yet, is shown in Section 3. Spare Parts”. Therefore, if part replacement is required, write the data by the following procedure. In the case of the PLD type that runs on the program stored in external ROM, data needs not to be written only by replacing the part if the specific PLD only is defective.
e-Production system has the advantages shown below.
. To write/rewrite the PLD internal data:
1. The standard fixture (cable) can be used.
2. The standard software (PLD Download Tool) can be used.
. The PLD internal data is controlled in the Sony Database
Server under the name Project file (E_xxx_xxx_xx_xx).
. The printed circuit board is equipped with the standard
connector (EPR connector) to write the PLD internal data. The indication “EPR” is shown on the printed circuit board.
Data write procedure
Data write procedure in the PLD (or ROM for PLD) is outlined below. For details of data write procedure, refer to Download Tool Operating Instruction for Device Programming which is available in the same site where the PLD Down­load Tool software is available.
1. Prepare the Project file.
n
Download the Project file from the Sony Database Server.
2. Turn off the power of this unit. Connect the PC parallel port to the EPR connector of the target board using the PLD download fixture (cable).
3. Turn on the power of this unit. Start the Download Tool software and read the Project file.
4. Program the PLD (or ROM for PLD) with the Down­load Tool software.
5. Upon completion of programming, check that error message is not displayed. Turn off the power of this unit and back on.

Turn the controls from 01 to 15 in the following table in order, and check that the followings are satisfied using Diag Mode 1.
. When turning the control knob, the appropriate VR No.
of this control knob is displayed at the bottom right on the LCD. Also the adjustment value is displayed in the appropriate box on the LCD. (The display position of the VR No is assigned in order of VR No. 01 and 02 from the upper left on the LCD.)

1-10-9. Circuit Protective Elements

The positive characteristic thermistor (for power supply) functions as a circuit protective element on the VR-277 board (B side) of the unit shown below. The thermistor increases the internal resistance and limits the current flowing to the circuits when an overcurrent flows or when the ambient temperature increases and the element reaches the specified temperature.If the elements operates,turn off the main power and inspect the RM-B750 internal circuit.After removing the cause of the equipment abnor­mality and the temperature of the element decreases,turn on the power again and operare the unit correctly.It takes about 1 minute for the elements to cool down after the main power is turned off.

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with a lead free 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
m . Be sure to use the unleaded solder for the printed circuit
board printed with the lead free mark.
. The unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 dC
higher than the ordinary solder, therefore, it is recom­mended to use the soldering iron having a temperature regulator.
. The ordinary soldering iron can be used but the iron tip
has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful.

Spare Parts

3-1. Notes on Repair Parts

1. Safety Related Components Warning
w
Components marked ! are critical to safe operation. Therefore, specified parts should be used in the case of replacement.
2. Standardization of Parts
Some repair parts supplied by Sony differ from those used for the unit. These are because of parts common­ality and improvement. Parts list has the present standardized repair parts.
3. Stock of Parts
Parts marked with “o” at SP (Supply Code) column of the spare parts list may not be stocked. Therefore, the delivery date will be delayed.
4. Harness
Harnesses with no part number are not registered as spare parts. In need of repair, get components shown in the list and repair using them.
