SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety check 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.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK ! OR DOTTED
LINE WITH MARK ! ON THE SCHEMA TIC DIA GRAMS AND
IN THE P AR TS LIST ARE CRITICAL T O SAFE OPERA TION.

MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY.
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.

REMOVING THE CABINET PARTS (Fig. 1-1-1 )
1. Remove the cabinet and bottom cover by removing the
four screws 1 and four screws 2 .
2. Pull out the shuttle knob by fingers together with the
button assembly, and remove the front panel by removing the locks of the clamps (A) using a screwdriver. etc.,
and slightly rotating the bottom part in the direction of
the arrow.
Notes: • Electrical adjustments for the this model can be
performed with only the cabinet removed.
• When replacing the bottom cover, do not tighten
the screws 2 too much. Excess tightness may
damage the screw taps on the chassis.
REMOVING THE MECHANISM MAIN UNIT AND
THE CP-1 PWB ASSEMBLV (Fig.1-1-2 and 1-1-3)
After removing the cabinet parts, remove the mechanism
unit and the CP-1 PWB assembly connected as follows.
1. First, remove the red screw 3 of the TB-1 PWB, spread
out lock clamps (B) and (C) in the arrow direction
slightly and remove TM-1 PWB and TM-2 PWB as
shown in Fig. 1-1-2.

2. Remove the screw 4 at the back of the chassis.
3. Remove the red screw 5 in the chassis, remove the red
screw 6, and remove the holder in this order.
4. Remove the two screws 7 and two screws 8 of the
mechanism unit. The two screws 8 of the cassette tray
can be removed easily by pushing the tray lock lever in
the arrow direction to remove the lock as shown in the
enlarge view A and by pushing the lid opener lever in
the arrow direction to remove the lock as shown in the
enlarge view B.
5. Lift up the whole mechanism unit and main board (CP-1
PWB assembly), and as shown in Fig. 1-1-3. push the

To obtain full function and maximum performance from
the set, and to stop it getting dirty or scratched, we
recommend that you carry out the following maintenance
procedures and regular checks. The maintenance checks
described in the following section should also be carried
out without fail after carrying out any repairs to the set.
1-1-1. REGULAR CHECKS
NOTE: OIL AND GREASE
• Always use the specified brands of oil and grease. If you
use a grease with the wrong viscosity, for example, this
can lead to all sorts of problems. Be careful to keep the
oil and grease free of dust and foreign bodies.
• A “drop” of oil is the amount of oil remaining on the tip of
a rod with a diameter of 1.5mm after it is dipped in oil to
a depth of 1cm and then taken out.

1-1-2. CLEANING
1. Cylinder (Drum) (See Fig.1-1-1 )
Moisten a chamois with methyl alcohol and clean the video
head (including the Hi-Fi audio head) and the tape path
surface of the cylinder. Be sure to wipe horizontally in
relation to the video head. If you wipe vertically, or use
excessive force, you can damage the video head.
2. Tape Path System / Reel Drive System
Clean the pinch roller, the capstan shaft, the tape guides,
the FE head, the ACE head, the reel table, the pulley and
the reel belt with a soft cloth, or chamois, moistened with
methyl alcohol.

1-2-2. Using the Relay Cable (VHJ-0106)
The mechanism can be repaired without using the relay
cable (VHJ-0106). As shown in Fig. 1-3-1, the relay cable
(VHJ-0106) is a tool used for relay between the CP-1 PWB
assembly and mechanism unit.
When connecting it, take note of the pin number of the
connector.
NOTE 1: Do not place the mechanism upright as shown
in Fig. 1-3-1 when inserting/ejecting the cassette.
NOTE 2: For NTSC models, be sure to connect the VM-1
PWB assembly and CP-1 PWB assembly.

2-2-3. HOW TO CHECK THE MECHANISM MODE
POSITION
You can tell which mode the mechanism is currently in by
looking at the codes and marking-lines on the crescent
slide on the underside of the mechanism chassis. The
edge of the crescent mounting is used as the reference
line, as shown in Fig.2-2-2, and the marking-lines and
symbols indicating the mechanism modes are displayed
on the crescent slide, which slides against the edge of the
crescent mounting. The mechanism mode is read off from
the marking-line on the slide crescent which is aligned
with the reference-line on the crescent mounting.
Example: In Fig.2-2-2, marking-line 6 is aligned with the
reference-line on the crescent mounting , so the mechanism is seen to be in FF/REW mode.
2-2-4. SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
Some models are equipped with the SELF-DIAGNOSIS
DISPLAYS function.
Use it as a means of finding out the symptoms and cause
of the error before performing repairs.
For details, refer to the separate service manual for the
respective models.
