SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0OR DOTTED LINEWITH

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.

CCD-TR648E/TR748E/TR848

1. Check theareaofyour repair for 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 partswhich, through functioning, show obvioussigns

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.
