1. Check the areaof your repair for unsolderedor poorly-soldered
connections. Checkthe entire board surface for 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, throughfunctioning, showobvioussigns
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 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.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0OR DOTTED LINEWITH
MARK 0ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS

2. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the power is shut off so
that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note of which to use during repairs.
Method 1.
Use the AC power adaptor.
Method 2.
Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B) to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the “ADJ” side.
3. TO TAKE OUT A DISC WHEN DISC COVER DOES NOT OPEN (FORCE OPEN)
4. NOTES ON HANDLINGTHE OPTICAL PICK-UP
The laser diode may suffer electrostatic breakdown because of the
potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc.
on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use
the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair
parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
5. PRECAUTION FOR CHECKING EMISSION OF
LASER DIODE
Laser light of the equipment is focused by the object lens in the
optical pick-up so that the light focuses on the reflection surface of
the disc. Therefore, be sure to keep your eyes more then 30 cm
apart from the object lens when you check the emission of laser
diode.
A
1Remove the cabinet (R) assembly.
2Remove the ST-118 board, ST holder, etc.
3Remove the heat sink (450),VC radiation sheet, etc.
4Remove the lens section.
5Push the portion Ain the direction of the arrow and open the
disc cover.
6. DISCHARGING OF THE FLASHLIGHT POWER SUPPLY CAPACITOR
The power supply capacitor (ST-118 board JL6501, JL6502) of the flash are charged up to the maximum 300V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the capacitors are handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the charged
voltage which is kept without discharging when the main power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining voltage must be
discharged as described below.
6-1. PREPARING THE SHORT JIG
1 k Ω /1 W
Wrap insulating tape
To preparing the short jig, a small clip is attached to each end of a
resistor of 1kΩ/1W (1-215-869-11)
Wrap insulating tape fully around the reads of the resistor to prevent
electric shock.
6-2. DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR
1Remove the cabinet (R) section.
2Connect the JL6501 (Check land of discharge) on the ST-118 board and the JL6502 (Check land of discharge) by using the short jig for
about 10 seconds.

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.
Detailsof theself-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.
2. SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder orLCD screen consistsof an alphabetand 4-digit number,
which blinks at 3.2Hz. This 5-character display indicates the
“repairedby:”,“block”inwhich the problem occurred, and“detailed
code”of the problem.
Note: The self-diagnosis display data will be kept even if the lithium battery (BT7301 of CK-148) is removed.
