SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!! ATTENTION AU COMPOSANT AYANT RAPPORT
À LA SÉCURITÉ!
: LEAD FREE MARK
Be careful to the following points to solder or unsolder.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
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 transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the
customer and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs
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
• Set the soldering iron tip temperature to 350 °C approximately.
• 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.
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.
UNLEADED SOLDER
This unit uses 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.)
• Set the soldering iron tip temperature to 350 °C approximately.
If cannot control temperature, solder/unsolder at high temperature
for a short time.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
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.
• Be sure to control soldering iron tips used for unleaded solder and
those for leaded solder so they are managed separately. Mixing un-
leaded solder and leaded solder will cause detachment phenomenon.
LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFIÉS PAR UNE MARQUE 0SUR LES

REMPLACER CES COMPOSANTS QUE PAR DES PIÈCES SONY

Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “PRODUCT ID & USB SERIAL No. INPUT” on
the ADJUST tab.
