SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITH
MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS
LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE
COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS
APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS
PUBLISHED BY SONY.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.
1.Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2.Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.
3.Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly
transistors, that were installed during a previous repair . Point
them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
4.Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
5.Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6.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.

SERVICE NOTE
1.POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the po wer is shut of f so
that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.
Method 1.
Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L10, AC-VQ800 etc.).
Method 2.
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the “ADJ” side.
2.TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT EJECT
(FORCE EJECT)
1 Open the flash.
(If the flash cannot be opened i the position as shown, remove the top cabinet ref fering
to section 2-4 and open the flash.)
2 Refer to 2-3 to remove the front panel assembly.
3 Refer to 2-4 to remove the upper cabinet assembly.
4 Refer to 2-4 to remove the cabinet (R) assembly.
5 Refer to 2-5 to remove the battery panel section.
6 Refer to 2-5 to remove the VC heat sink and EVF section.
7 Open the VC-264P board.
8 Refer to 2-6 to remove the three screws with which the MD frame assembly is fixed.
9 Remove the mechanism deck and VC-264P board.
0 Disconnect CN006 (27P, 0.3mm) of VC-264P board.
qa Supply +4.5V from the DC power supply to the loading motor and unload with a pressing the cassette compartment.

3.DISCHARGING OF THE FLASHLIGHT POWER SUPPLY CAPACITOR
The power supply capacitor of the flash unit is charged up to the maximum 300V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the capacitor is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the charged
voltage which is kept without discharging when the main power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining voltage must be
discharged as described below.
3-1.PREPARING THE SHORT JIG
To preparing the short jig. a small clip is attached to each end of a resistor of 1kΩ/1W (1-215-869-11).
Wrap insulating tape fully around the reads of the resistor to prevent electric shock.
1 kΩ/1 W
Wrap insulating tape.
3-2.DISCHARGING THE CAP ACIT OR
1 Remove the power supply (Battery or AC power adaptor).
2 Open the cassette lid (grip cabinet).
3 Remove the two screws with which the grip cover is fixed.
4 Remove the grip cover.
5 Remove the insulation sheet.
6 Short circuit between 3 and # terminal of the capacitor with the short jig about 10 seconds.
3 Two screws, tapping
(M1.7 × 5)
2 Open the cassette lid.
