1-4. Cleaning
1-4-1. Cleaning of Viewfinder
By extracting VF tube sub assembly, lens and MC protec-
tor can be easily cleaned. And also dust on the CRT
surface or mirror can be easily cleaned off.
1. Turn the hold ring counterclockwise and extract the
VF tube sub assembly.
2. Detach the eyecup.
3. Remove the MC protector with the filter holder.
4. Clean the lens and MC protector with a commercially
available camera lens cleaner. Blow off dust with a
blower carefully so as not to flaw the mirror.
5. After the cleaning is completed, install by reversing
the preceding steps. Align red lines of the VF tube and
VF tube sub assembly when inserting, and turn the
hold ring clockwise until it locks.
n
.Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol, benzine
or thinner to remove stains.
.Be sure to attach the eyecup to the VF, or the MC
protector may come off.
.To protect the viewfinder lens from drops, put the MC
protector in the filter holder and attach the eyecup
securely.
1-4-2. Cares after Using under Special
Environment
It is recommended to check the following items after
gathering the news at seaside, dusty area or spa.
1. Clean off sand and dust in the unit carefully.
2. Do not allow salt in seawater or sulfur in spa to contact
the not-painted surface of the cabinet. They may cause
corrosion in white. Clean with alcohol immediately if
contacted.
3. Clean the connection surface of connectors.
4. Carry out the common operation check.

8. Remove the three screws (two : PTP2.6 x8, one :
PTP2 x6), and remove the CRT/DY assembly from
the VF tube assembly. Replace the CRT/DY assembly.
9. Install a new CRT/DY assembly to the VF tube
assembly so that the high-voltage cable comes upper.
10. Connect the high-voltage cable and harnesses by
reversing steps 6 and 7.
11. Arrange the harnesses referring to Section 1-6.
12. Perform electrical alignment referring to Section 2
“Electrical Alignment”.
13. Reinstall the upper chassis by reversing steps 2 and 3.
n
Be careful so that the harnesses are not caught by the
upper chassis.
14. Close the MIC clamp and tighten the MIC clamp
screw.
1-5. Replacing CRT/DY Assembly
1. Loosen the MIC clamp screw to open the MIC clamp.
2. Remove the two screws (K2.6 x5).
3. Remove the three hexagon cap screws (2.6 x6) to
detach the upper chassis.
4. Remove the two screws (P2 x3.5) and remove the PC
board plate.
n
When attaching the PC board plate, be careful of its
orientation (A in the figure above).
5. Cut the binding yarn of the high-voltage cable.
6. Disconnect the high-voltage cable connector.
7. Disconnect the harnesses from the connectors CN4,
CN5, and CN6 on the VF-88 board.

1-6. Arranging Harness
When repairing the unit, arrange and clamp the harness as
described in the following steps.
Improper arrangement of the harness may result in a
disconnection or awkward turn of the VF tube assembly.
1. Arrange the 8-wire harness as shown in the figure and
clamp it at point A so that it is not in contact with the
inside of the VF tube assembly or the lower chassis.

3. Clamp the 8-wire harness at point C.
4. Arrange the high-voltage cable as shown in the figure,
and then clamp it with the VF cable at point D.

5. Arrange the 5-wire DY lead as shown in the figure,
and then clamp it at point E.
6. Clamp the 4-wire CRT cable at point F.
7. Fix the CRT connector with UL tape as shown in the
figure, and then clamp the CRT cable at point G.
n
Ensure that the CRT connector is connected firmly.
8. Install the upper chassis.
Be careful so that the high-voltage cable is not caught.
1-7. Disconnecting/Connecting Flexible
Card Wire
The flexible card wire is used between the VF-88 board
and VA-229 board. Take care not to break this flexible
card wire. This shortens the wire life.
Disconnecting
1. Turn off the power.
2. Slide portions A in the direction of the arrows to
unlock and pull out the flexible card wire.
Connecting
n
.Be careful not to insert the flexible card wire obliquely.
.Check that the conductive surface of the flexible card
wire is not soiled with dust.
1. Slide portions A in the direction of the arrows and
insert the flexible card wire as far as it will go with the
conductive surface downside.
2. Slide portions A in the reverse direction to lock.

1-8. Notes on Spare Parts
1. Safety Related Components Warning
Components marked !are critical to safe operation.
Therefore, specified parts should be used in the case of
replacement.
2. Standardization of Parts
Some spare parts supplied by Sony differ from those
used for the unit. These are because of parts common-
ality and improvement.
Parts list has the present standardized repair parts.
3. Stock of Parts
Parts marked with “o” at SP(Supply Code) column of
the spare parts list may be not stocked. Therefore, the
delivery date will be delayed.
4. Harness
Harnesses with no part number are not registered as
spare parts.
1-9. Unleaded Solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with a
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
m
.Be sure to use the unleaded solder for the printed circuit
board printed with the lead free mark.
.The unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 dC
higher than the ordinary solder, therefore, it is recom-
mended to use the soldering iron having a temperature
regulator.
.The ordinary soldering iron can be used but the iron tip
has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer
time. The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if
the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful.

setting of the aspect ratio needs to be changed.
(Refer to Section 2-2-5, Bright Calibration Adjustment.)
.When the aspect ratio is not specified, perform adjust-
ment in the 16:9 mode. As for details on the setting
method of the aspect ratio, refer to the operating instruc-
tions of the video camera or camcorder to be used.
