Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes.).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT -540A. Follow the man ufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated A C milliammeter . The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated A C voltmeter . The “limit” indication
is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage
scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples
of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suitable. (See

SERVICING NOTES
STR-DA4300ES
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 viscou-s (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.
NOTE OF REPLACING THE IC3601 ON THE
D_VIDEO BOARD
Replacement of IC3601 on the D_VIDEO board used in this set
requires a special tool.
NOTE OF REPLACING THE IC3511 AND IC3513 ON
THE D_VIDEO BOARD
IC3511 and IC3513 on the D_VIDEO board cannot exchange with
single. When IC3511 and IC3513 on the D_VIDEO board are
damaged, exchange the entire mounted board.
NOTE OF REPLACING THE IC5002 AND IC5202 ON
THE DSP BOARD
IC5002 and IC5202 on the DSP board cannot exchange with single.
When IC5002 and IC5202 on the DSP board are damaged, exchange
the entire mounted board.
UPDATE OF SOFTWARE OF IC2003 ON THE CONTROL BOARD, IC3610 ON THE D_VIDEO BOARD AND
IC5208 ON THE DSP BOARD
Perform operation of the following when the update of software of the IC2003 on the CONTR OL board, IC3610 on the D_VIDEO board and
IC5208 on the DSP board is necessary.
Connect:
for PC
Procedure:
1. Connect J881 on the CIS board and PC by using the RS-232C cable.
2. Turn on the main power.
3. The update is executed by using PC.
4. When the update ends, turn off the main power.
5. Remove the RS-232C cable from the J881 on the CIS board and PC.
ERROR MESSAGES
If there is a malfunction, the display shows a code of two numbers and a message. You can check the condition of the system by the
message. Refer to the following table to solve the problem.

indicator tube and enter the digital media port test mode.
(Confirmation of communication line)
When “NO DETECT”, “UART NG” and “UART TO” are
displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, confirm the
connection of the DMPORT check jig, and enter the mode
again.
Each time the
the connect check and adaptor version check are switched.
Press the . button on the remote commander, connected
confirmation of the DMPORT check jig is done again.
4. To a pinjack of the DMPORT check jig input information
relevant to audio signal (sine-wave 1.0V rms) and composite
video signal (white 100% 1.0Vp-p, color bar, etc.).
5. Confirm the output of speakers and monitor TV. (Confirmation
of analog signal)

Procedure:
1. Turn on the set.
2. Input the following signal from signal generator to FM antenna
input directly.
Carrier frequency: A = 87.5 MHz, B = 98 MHz, C = 108 MHz
Note: Use 75 ohm coaxial cable to connect signal generator and the set.
You cannot use video cable for checking.
Use signal generator whose output impedance is 75 ohm.
3. Set to FM tuner function and scan the input FM signal with
automatic scanning.
4. Confirm that input frequency of A, B and C are detected and
automatic scanning stops.
When the station signal is received in good condition, automatic
scanning stops.
6. In state of step 5, press the [MEMORY/ENTER] button. The
adjustment is automatically completed, and result is written
in the EEPROM, and display as below.
(NTSC input) NTSC : MW OK C_V__

(HD input)HD-V : MW OK C_V__
When “Check XXXX V-IN” is displayed, Video signal
necessary for the measurement while measuring it last time
was not detected and it became an error . Confirm the input of
the video of the terminal connection etc., and measure the
[MEMORY/ENTER] button again pressing.
7. Input PAL color bars signal from the color pattern generator.
8. Perform step 4 to 6.
9. Input HD color bars signal (720p or 1080p) from the color
pattern generator.
10. Perform step 4 to 6.
11. When all the adjustments end, display as below.
