SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0OR DOTTED LINEWITH

MARK 0ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND INTHE 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.

1. Check the area ofyour repairfor unsoldered or poorly-soldered

connections. Checkthe entireboard surfacefor soldersplashes

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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

otherthan thosespecifiedhereinmay result in hazardous radiation

exposure.

WARNING!!

WHEN SERVICING, DO NOT APPROACHTHE LASER EXITWITH

THE EYE TOO CLOSELY. IN CASE IT IS NECESSARY TO

CONFIRM LASER BEAM EMISSION, BE SURE TO OBSERVE

FROM A DISTANCE OF MORETHAN 25 cm FROMTHE SURFACE

OFTHE OBJECTIVE LENS ONTHE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK.

CAUTION:

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye

hazard.

Unleaded solder

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-

free 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.

About MP3 audio tracks

YoucanplayMP3 audio tracks onCD-ROMs

or CD-Rs/CD-RWs. However, the discs must

be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1,

level 2, or Joliet format for the player to

recognize the tracks.

You can also play discs recorded in Multi

Session.

See the instructions of the CD-R/CD-RW

device or recording software (not supplied)

for details on the recording format.

To play a Multi Session CD

This player can play Multi Session CDs when

an MP3 audio track is located in the first

session. Any subsequent MP3 audio track,

recorded in later sessions, can also be played

back.

When audio tracks and images in music CD

format or video CD format are recorded in the

first session, only the first session will be

played back.

Notes

•If you put the extension “.MP3”to data not in

MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data

properly and will generate a loud noise which

could damage your speaker system.

•The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO

format.

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks

The playback order of albums and tracks

recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.

◆Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD and press H,

the numbered tracks are played sequentially,

from 1through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks

contained within a currently selected album

take priority over the next album in the same

tree.(Example: Ccontains Dso4isplayed

before 5.)

When you press MENU and the list of MP3

albums appears (page 33), the albums are

arranged in the following order: AtBt

CtDtFtG. Albums that do not

contain tracks (such as album E) do not

appear in the list.

zHints

•If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front

of the track file names, the tracks will be played in

that order.

•Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start

playback, it is recommended that you create

albums of no more than two trees.

Dolby Digital (page 20, 60)

Digital audio compression technology

developed by Dolby Laboratories. This

technology conforms to multi-channel

surround sound. The rear channel is stereo

and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in

this format. Dolby Digital provides the same

multi discrete channels of high quality digital

audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio

systems. Good channel separation is realized

because all of the channel data are recorded

discretely and little deterioration is realized

because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 20)

Audio signal processing technology that

Dolby Laboratories developed for surround

sound. When the input signal contains a

surround component, the Pro Logic process

outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The

rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 20, 60)

Digital audio compression technology that

DigitalTheaterSystems, Inc. developed. This

technology conforms to multi-channel

surround sound. The rear channel is stereo

and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in

this format. DTS provides the same multi

discrete channels of high quality digital

audio.

Good channel separation is realized because

all of the channel data is recorded discretely

and little deterioration is realized because all

channel data processing is digital.

DVD VIDEO (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving

pictures even though its diameter is the same

as a CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and single-

sided 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-sided DVD is

9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided

DVD is 17GB.

Thepicture data uses theMPEG2format, one

of the worldwide standards of digital

compression technology. The picture data is

compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its

original size. The DVD also uses a variable

rate coding technology that changes the data

to be allocated according to the status of the

picture. Audio information is recorded in a

multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,

allowing you to enjoy a more real audio

presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions

such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and

Parental Control functions 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. DVD-RWs created in

Video mode have the same format as a DVD

VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video

Recording) mode allow the contents to be

programmed or edited.

DVD+RW (page 6)

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and

rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording

formatthatis comparable to theDVDVIDEO

format.

Index (CD) / Video Index (VIDEO CD)

(page 13)

A number that divides a track into sections to

easily locate the point you want on a CD or

VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index

may be recorded.

Additional Information

control) functions, the menu screens, moving

pictures and still pictures are divided into

sections called “scenes.”

Title (page 10)

The longest section of a picture or music

feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video

software, or the entire album in audio

software.
