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.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.
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 sol-
dering or unsoldering.
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.

SERVICE NOTE
1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS
In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied (8.4V) to the
battery terminal the power is shut off so that the unit cannot oper-
ate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take
note of which to use during repairs.
Method 1.
Use the DC IN terminal. (Use the AC power adaptor.)
Method 2.
To supply power to the battery terminal, connect the servicing re-
mote commander RM-95 to this set via the LANC jack of CPC-jig
(J-6082-539-A), and set the HOLD switch to “ADJ” side.
2. TO TAKE OUT A CASSETTE WHEN NOT
EJECT (FORCE EJECT)
1Refer to 2-3. to remove the front panel section.
2Refer to 2-4. to remove the cabinet (L) section.
3Refer to 2-5. to remove the cabinet (R) section.
4Open the control switch block (FK-2000).
5Disconnect CN4401 (2P) of VC-273 board.
6Add +5V from the DC POWER SUPPLY and unload with a
pressing the cassette compertment.
8Let your hold the cassette

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
1. Self-diagnosis Function
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagno-
sis function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder or Dis-
play window what to do. This function consists of two display;
self-diagnosis display and service mode display.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruc-
tion manual.
2. Self-diagnosis Display
When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of
the viewfinder or Display window shows a 4-digit display consist-
ing of an alphabet and numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-
character display indicates the “repaired by:”, “block” in which
the problem occurred, and “detailed code” of the problem.
3. Service Mode Display
The service mode display shows up to six self-diagnosis codes shown in the past.
3-1. Display Method
While pressing the “STOP” key, set the switch from OFF to “VCR or PLAYER”, and continue pressing the “STOP” key for 5 seconds
continuously. The service mode will be displayed, and the counter will show the backup No. and the 5-character self-diagnosis codes.
3-2. Switching of Backup No.
By rotating the control dial, past self-diagnosis codes will be shown in order. The backup No. in the [] indicates the order in which the
problem occurred. (If the number of problems which occurred is less than 6, only the number of problems which occurred will be shown.)
[1] : Occurred first time [4] : Occurred fourth time
[2] : Occurred second time [5] : Occurred fifth time
[3] : Occurred third time [6] : Occurred the last time
3-3. End of Display
Turning OFF the power supply will end the service mode display.
