WARNING!!
WHEN SERVICING, DO NOT APPROACH THE LASER
EXIT WITH THE EYE TOO CLOSELY. IN CASE IT IS
NECESSARY TO CONFIRM LASER BEAM EMISSION,
BE SURE T O OBSER VE FR OM A DISTANCE OF MORE
THAN 30 cm FROM THE SURFACE OF THE
OBJECTIVE LENS ON THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK.
CAUTION:
The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye
hazard.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DO TTED 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.

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.

In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4 V), the power is shut off so
that the unit cannot operate.
These following method is available to prevent this.
Method:
Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L200/L200B).
1-2. TO TAKE OUT A DISC WHEN NOT EJECT (FORCE EJECT)
1 Peel off the jack cover assy and remote control window.
2 Insert the wire etc. in the hole and down the eject slider by it.
Connect the extension cable (J-6082-572-A) between the DVD mechanism deck and CN1008 on the VC-483 board.

1-4-1. Self-diagnosis Function
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder or LCD
screen what to do.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

1-4-2. Self-diagnosis Display
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder or LCD screen shows a 4-digit display consisting of an
alphabet and numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character
display indicates the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem
occurred, and “detailed code” of the problem.
The abnormalities in initialization of
the focus lens and the abnormalities in
initialization of the zoom lens occurred
simultaneously.
Fault of writing to or erasing the flash
memory
Correction
Use the InfoLITHIUM battery.
Format the “Memory Stick Duo”.
Insert a new “Memory Stick Duo”.
Clean the disc with the supplied cleaning cloth.
Use a compatible disc with the camcorder.
Make flash memory data correct value. (Note)
Inspect or replacement of the mechanism deck, IC (IC4401 on
the VC-483 board) and drive block.
Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor (pin 7 of CN5601 on
the VC-483 board) when focusing is performed when the focus
buttons of the touch panel are pressed in the focus manual mode,
and the focus motor drive circuit (IC5601 on the VC-483 board)
when the focusing is not performed.
Inspect the lens block zoom reset sensor (pin qa of CN5601 on
the VC-483 board) when zooming is performed when the zoom
lever is operated, and the zoom motor drive circuit (IC5601 on
the VC-483 board) when zooming is not performed.
Check whether the flexible board of the lens is broken, and
check whether it is inserted imperfectly. If there is no problem in
the flexible board, inspect the focus/zoom motor drive circuit
(IC5601 on the VC-483 board).
Inspect the flash memory (IC2201 on the VC-483 board). (Note)
Note: Refer to “1-3. DESTINATION DATA WRITE”, ADJ (9-852-173-51).

D lid block
Screws
When the eject block is installed on the cabinet L assy
for service, a discrepancy could be made between the
cabinet D block and the D lid block, and as a result,
the D lid may not to be closed.
In case of such discrepancy, loosen the screws on the
hinge to eliminate the discrepancy of the D lid block,
and then retighten the screws.
