1.2. ABOUTLEADFREE SOLDER(PbF)
Distinction of PbF PCB:
PCBs (manufactured) using leadfree solderwill have a PbF stamp on the PCB.
Caution:
-Pbfree solderhas ahighermelting pointthanstandard solder,
Typicallythemelting pointis50-70°F(30-40°C) higher. Please use
ahigh temperaturesoldering iron. Incase ofsoldering iron with
temperaturecontrol,please set itto700±20°F(370±10°C)
-Pbfree solderwill tend tosplashwhenheatedtoo high (about
1100°F/600°C).
Whensoldering orunsoldering, please completelyremove all of the solderon the pins orsolder
area, and be sure to heatthe soldering points with the Pbfree solderuntil itmelts enough.
2. GENERALDESCRIPTIONS
2.1. SERVICE CAUTION-1
Whenthe MicroprocessorIC6001 and/orBack-up batteryB7751 are replaced, readthe following
procedure carefullyand proceedit.
[REASONS]
There is a RAMinthe IC6001, whichis backing up:
1. ProgrammeNavigation Data [See NOTE1]
2. TV Tuning Data
3. PG ShifterAdjustmentData
4. Option Setting Data
WhenIC6001 are replaced, all above listeddata become not available.
These data is backedup byusing the powersource of:
*AC Connected: AC Powersource
*AC Disconnected: Back-up Battery(B7751)& Back-up Capacitor(C7752)
[NOTE1]
As foryourreference, without inserting a tape into a VCR, you canconfirmthatthe NAVI data
thatis back up with IC6001 as showninthe following steps.
1. Indicate the"NAVI"markon theFrontInformation Panel. (Press
theMenu button and select theoption, thenset the"NAVI"toON
mode.)
2. Turn on theService Modeand press the"NAVI"button on the
Remote Controllerinmorethan5seconds. The"NAVI"data list is
displayedon theMonitor. (Press the"MENU"button on the
Remote Controllerfor cancellation.)
Although storedNAVI data canbe confirmedon the monitor, there is no wayto transferthe
NAVI data to IC6001whichis newlymounted.
2.1.1. REPLACINGPROCEDURE[IC6001]
[1.PREPARATION]
Before replacing IC6001:
1. Take note that storedTV broadcast channels. (Because, its user
maystoreTV broadcasts bymanuallyotherthan"AutoTuning"
operation and itisalsoerased.)
NOTE:
During servicing, do not make a shortcircuitbetweenIC6001-pin37 (5V)with otherline/
Components otherwise IC6001 maybe broken.
CAUTION:
*Whenreplacing theB7751, besuretoread/followthe"HOWTO
REPLACE THE LITHIUM BATTERY"section.
[2.REPLACINGPROCEDUREIN STEPS]
STEP1.PREPARATION
1. Disconnect theACplug beforeremoving theC.B.A. with
Mechanismunitbyreferring totheDisassemblyprocedure.
STEP2.REPLACETHEIC6001
1. Replace theIC6001. (Donotmake ashortcircuitbetweenIC6001-
pin37 and otherpins/ components.)
STEP3.RESETTHEIC6001 ATONCE
1. Connect theACplug.
2. Connect ajumperwirebetweenTL7510 (RESET)and TL7509
(GND) for asecond toreset theMicroprocessor IC6001.
Note:
Since the resistance atpin2 as well as pin3 of IC6001 decides the model distinction data, there
is no needto setup the Model code, whichis necessaryinthe previous models.
STEP4.LINE-IN SETTING& ACTIVATEPLUG-IN A.T.P.
(FOR OTHER THAN NV-MV20GL)
1. Press theChannel up and downkeyssimultaneouslyfor more
than3seconds, underthecondition oftheno tapeisintheunit.
2. Confirm that "AV"canbedisplayedon theFIP bypressing theCH
UP and CH DOWNbuttons.

2.3. HOWTO REPLACE THE LITHIUM BATTERY
2.3.1. GENERALDESCRIPTION
There is a RAMinthe IC6001, whichis backing up the following data byusing the powersource
of B7751 (Back-up Battery)and C7752 (Back-up Capacitor:Back-up time is approximately30
minutes).
1. ProgrammeNavigation Data
2. TV Tuning Data
3. PG ShifterAdjustmentData
4. Option Setting Data
2.3.2. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
