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 TO OBSERVE FROM A DISTANCE OF
MORE THAN 25 cm FROM THE SURFACE OF THE
OBJECTIVE LENS ON THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra-
diation exposure.
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 PUBLISHED BY SONY.

To Exposed Metal
Parts on Set
Earth Ground
LEAKAGETEST
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 mi-
croamperes). 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 manufacturers' instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operatedAC 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 AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-
tion is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-
amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2VAC range are suit-
able. (See Fig. A)
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-sol-
dered 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 transis-
tors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them
out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recom-
mend their replacement.
5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
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 playback of discs recorded in
AVCHD format
This player can play AVCHD format discs.
What is the AVCHD format?
The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera
format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high
definition) signals of either the 1080i specification*
1
or the 720p
specification*
2
on DVDs, using efficient data compression
coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted
to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM
system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher
efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing
format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high
definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera
recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it
would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.
“AVCHD” and the AVCHD logo are trademarks of Matsushita Electric
Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation.
*
1
A high definition specification which utilizes 1080 effective scanning
lines and the interlace system.
*
2
A high definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning
lines and the progressive system.
Notes
•SomeAVCHD format discs may not play, depending on the recording
condition.
•TheAVCHD format disc will not play if it has not been correctly
finalized.

only will play BD-ROM/DVD VIDEOs (playback only) labeled
with identical region codes. This system is used to protect
copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labeled will also play on this player.
Depending on the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO, there may be no region
code indication, even though playing the BD-ROM/DVD VIDEO is
prohibited by area restrictions.
Note on playback operations of BDs/
DVDs
Some playback operations of BDs/DVDs may be intentionally
set by software producers. Since this player plays BDs/DVDs
according to the disc contents the software producers designed,
some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the BDs/DVDs.
Copyrights

Main Features
Experience the high definition (HD) quality audio/video output
and the library function of this Blu-ray Disc Player.
BD-ROM playback
BD-ROM is a next generation optical disc format in the HD era.

larger than a DVD) and a high-speed transfer rate of up to 54
Mbps, the format offers not only uncompromised HD quality
video*

*
2
, but also enables rich bonus content on a single disc
and HD quality audio up to 8ch, and interactive operability.
*
1
A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same
quality.
*
2
Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.
24p True Cinema
Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second.
Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels)
display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24
frames do not appear at an even pace.
When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player
displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval
originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing
the original cinema image.
HDMI Control (‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync)
‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync Function makes operations simple by
connecting Sony components that are compatible with the
HDMI Control function with an HDMI cord.
BD-J application
The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions.
“BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality
when creating interactive BD-ROM titles*.
Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or
registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and
other countries.
Esmertec and Jbed are trademarks or registered trademarks of
Esmertec AG.
© 2000-2007 Esmertec AG
*This player does not support downloadable BD-J content.
Support of uncompressed multi-channel Linear
PCM
In combination with a compatible AV amplifier, the player can
output up to 8ch Linear PCM surround sound*. With a non-
compatible amplifier, the player can output 5.1ch analog signals
from its 5.1CH OUTPUT jack for high quality audio enjoyment.
*Note that the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack does not
output 8ch signals. You will need an HDMI cord and an HDMI-
compatible device that support 8ch signals.
Support of “Dolby TrueHD” and “DTS-HD” —
7.1 Channel Surround Sound
The player supports the bitstream output functionality of Dolby
TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio bitstream via HDMI. It also supports the decoding
functionality of Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus to Linear
PCM via HDMI.
