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

How to replace the fuse.
Open the fuse compartment with
a screwdriver blade and replace
the fuse.

FUSE

WARNING (UK Models only)

The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused
plug having a fuse of 5 AMP rating. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, use a 5AMP FUSE approved by ASTA to BS 1362, ie one
that carries the

ASA

T

mark.

IF THE PLUG SUPPLIED WITH THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT SUIT­ABLE FOR THE OUTLET SOCKETS IN YOUR HOME, IT SHOULD
BE CUT OFF AND AN APPROPRIATE PLUG FITTED. THE PLUG
SEVERED FROM THE MAINS LEAD MUST BE DESTROYED AS A
PLUG WITH BARED WIRES IS DANGEROUS IF ENGAGED IN A
LIVE SOCKET.

When an alternative type of plug is used, it should be fitted with a

5 AMP FUSE, otherwise the circuit should be protected by a 5AMP
FUSE at the distribution board.

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).

local installer to find out when digital transmissions begin in your

area.

• Contact a local installer to find out at which transmitter you should

be pointing your aerial.

• Change your aerial to cover the channels used by digital

programmes. (Contact a local installer).

• Ensure aerial is correctly aligned to transmitter.

• Ensure aerial is plugged directly into the TV (not through other

equipment.

No picture (screen is dark) and no sound. • Check the aerial connection.

• Connect the display unit and media receiver unit to the mains, and

press the power switch on the front of media receiver unit.

• Connect the display unit to the media receiver unit using the

supplied display interface cable.

• If the (power on/standby) indicator is on, press TV on the

remote control.

The TV turns off automatically. (The TV

enters the standby mode.)

• Check if the Sleep Timer is activated (page 35).

• Check if Auto Shutoff is activated (page 35).

No picture or no menu information from

equipment connected to the Scart

connector.

• Check that the optional equipment is on and press the button

repeatedly on the remote control until the correct input symbol is

displayed on the screen (page 62).

• Check the connection between the optional equipment and the TV.

Poor picture/Unstable picture with

Double images or ghosting. • Check aerial/cable connections.

• Check the aerial location and direction.

Only snow and noise appears on the

screen.

• Check if the aerial is broken or bent.

• Check if the aerial has reached the end of its serviceable life. (3-5

years in normal use, 1-2 years at the seaside)

Dotted lines or stripes. • Keep the TV away from electrical noise sources such as cars,

motorcycles, or hair-dryers.

No colour on colour programmes. • Using the menu system, select the “Picture Adjustment” menu and

select “Reset” to return to the factory settings (page 28).

• If you set the Power Saving function to “Reduce,” picture colours

may become dimmer (page 31).

Some tiny black points and/or bright

points on the screen.
