SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENTWARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK !OR DOTTED LINEWITH

MARK !ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND INTHE 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.

ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORT

À LA SÉCURITÉ!

LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS PAR UNE MARQUE !SUR LES

DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMATIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONT

CRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NE

REMPLACER CES COMPOSANTS QUE PAR DES PIÈSES SONY

DONT LES NUMÉROS SONT DONNÉS DANS CE MANUEL OU

DANS LES SUPPÉMENTS PUBLIÉS PAR SONY.

1. Check theareaof your repair for unsolderedorpoorly-soldered

connections. Checktheentire board surfaceforsolder 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

transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point

them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look forparts which, 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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

DCR-TRV5/TRV5E SERVICE NOTE

1. POWER SUPPLY DURING REPAIRS

In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied (8.4V) to the

battery terminal using the service power cord (J-6082-223-A), 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.

Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B)

to the LANC jack, and set the remote commander switch to the

“ADJ” side.

Method 2.

Use the AC power adaptor.

2. HOWTOTAKE A CASSETTE OUT

WHENTHE MAIN POWER CANNOT

BETURNED ON

Note: To take a cassette out forcibly as follows when the main power

cannot be turned on, remove the cabinet (L) assembly. Apply +4.5

V power from an external power supply to the loading motor, as

shown below. Refer to sections 2-1 and 2-2 for the procedure to

remove the cabinet (L) assembly.

Procedure:

1) Disconnect the CN3106 of VC-207 board.

2) Apply +4.5V directly to the FP-594 flexible board as shown to

drive the loading motor that ejects a cassette.

(DC power supply)

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

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. This function consists of two display; self-

diagnosis display and service mode display.

Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction

manual.

Note: The “self-diagnosis display” data will be backed up by the coin-type lithium battery of LI-65 board. When this coin-type lithium battery is

removed, the “self-diagnosis display” data will be lost by initialization.

2. SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the

viewfinder or LCD screen consists of an alphabet and 4-digit

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

Whilepressingthe“STOP/EXPOSURE” key,setthe switchfromOFF to “VTR or PLAYER”, and continue pressing the “STOP/EXPOSURE”

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.
