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.

TEL 13942296513 QQ 376315150 892498299

This

appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear exterior.

4. Look for parts which, though 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.

WARNING!!

xia

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.

TV Virtual Surround

Settings

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound for home use using just a stereo TV. This only works when playing a multichannel Dolby audio sound track. Futhermore, if the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 71).

Press SUR during playback.

About MP3 Audio Tracks and JPEG Image Files

What is MP3/JPEG?

MP3 is audio compression technol ogy that satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image compression technology.

DATA CDs that the player can play

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/ CD-Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs must be recor ded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format .

Note on Multi Session discs

If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG im age files are recorded in the first session, the player will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in other sessions. If audio tracks and images in Music CD forma t or Video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back .

Note

The player may not be able to play some DATA CDs created in the Packet Write format. In this case, you cannot view the JPEG images recorded.

MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the player can play

The player can play the follow ing tracks and files: –MP3 audio tracks with the extension

“.MP3.”

–JPEG image files with the extension

“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”

–JPEG image files that conform to the DCF*

image file format.

*“Design rule for Camera File system”: Image

standards for digital cameras regulated by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).

Notes

•The player will play any data with the extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these da ta may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

•The player does not conform to audio tra cks in MP3PRO format.

•Some JPEG files ca nnot be played.

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

Albums containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files play in the following order:

DVD VIDEO (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of m oving pictures even though i ts diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a singl e-layer and singlesided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-s ided DVD is

9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided

DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is com pressed to about 1/40 (average) of its ori ginal size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that change s the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio inform ation is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more realistic audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control function s are provided with the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 6)

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode.

Film based software, Video based software (page 68)

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames/60 fields (24 frames/50 fields) per second.

MPEG audio (page 19, 71)

International standard coding system used to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2channel stereo. MPEG 2, used on DVDs, conforms to up to 7.1-channel surround.

Normal (Interlace) format (page 72)

Normal (Interlace) format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field show s the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

Progressive format (page 17)

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 25 or 30 frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the Progressiv e format can show 50-60 frames in one s econd. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format.

Progressive JPEG

Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the internet. They are different from other JPEGs in that they “fade in” gradually instead of being drawn from top to bottom when displayed on a browser. This lets you view th e image while it is being downloaded.

Scene (page 9)

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions , the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures ar e divided into sections called “scenes. ”

Title (page 9)

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entir e album in audio software.

Track (page 9)

Sections of a picture or a music fe ature on a VIDEO CD, CD or DATA CD (the length of a song). (“Track” in DATA -CD is an exclusive definition for this player.)

Video Index (VID EO CD) (page 12)
