Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0OR DOTTED
LINE WITH MARK 0ON 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 PUB-
LISHED BY SONY.
: 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 oc-
cur 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.

SERVICING NOTES
NOTES ON REPLACEMENT OF I. LINK BOARD
New part of microcomputer (IC3002) and EEPROM (IC3001) on the I. LINK board cannot be used. Therefore, if the mounted I. LINK
board (A-4733-835-A) is replaced, exchange new microcomputer and new EEPROM with that used before the replacement.
OPERATION CHECK OF STANDING BOARDS ON THE MOTHER BOARD
The standing boards connected to the MOTHER board via the connectors can be operated using the jig with the standing boards discon-
nected from the MOTHER board.
In such a case, for the board with the bracket (back panel), remove the board together with the bracket from the MOTHER board, and
connect the bracket to the chassis using a cable attached with alligator clips for GND connection.
