SAFETY CHECK-OUT

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.

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs

of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recom-

mend their replacement.

5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

WARNING!!

WHEN SERVICING, DO NOT APPROACH THE LASER

EXIT WITH THE EYE TOO CLOSELY. IN CASE IT IS

NECESSARY TO CONFIRM LASER BEAM EMISSION,

BE SURE TO OBSERVE FROM A DISTANCE OF

MORE THAN 25 cm FROM THE SURFACE OF THE

OBJECTIVE LENS ON THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra-

diation exposure.

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.

CAUTION:

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye

hazard.

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.

appliance is classified as a

CLASS 1 LASER product. The

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

MARKING is located on the rear

exterior.

Hookups

Hooking Up the Player

Follow steps 1 to 6 to hook up and adjust the settings of the player.

Notes

Plug cords securely to prevent unwanted noise.

Refer to the instructions supplied with the components to be connected.

You cannot connect this player to a TV that does not have a SCART (EURO AV) or video input jack.

Be sure to disconnect the mains lead of each component before connecting.

Step 1: Unpacking

Check that you have the following items:

Audio/video cord (pinplug ×3 ypinplug ×3) (1)

Remote commander (remote) (1)

R6 (size AA) batteries (2)

Step 2: Inserting Batteries into the Remote

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by

matching the 3and #ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When

using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the player.

Notes

Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or a lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a

malfunction.

If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage

from battery leakage and corrosion.

be connected to the digital jack of the

player.

Set the sound to STEREO using the

(audio) button when you play DTS sound

tracks on a CD (page 48).

Do not play DTS sound tracks without first

connecting the player to an audio

component having a built-in DTS decoder.

an MP3 audio track is located in the first

session. Any subsequent MP3 audio track,

recorded in later sessions, can also be played

The playback order of MP3 audio tracks

The playback order of albums and tracks

recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.

◆Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD and press H,

the numbered tracks are played sequentially,

from 1through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks

contained within a currently selected album

take priority over the next album in the same

tree. (Example: Ccontains Dso 4is

played before 5.)

When you press MENU and the list of MP3

albums appears (page 33), the albums are

arranged in the following order: AtBt

CtDtFtG. Albums that do not

contain tracks (such as album E) do not

appear in the list.

zHints

If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front

of the track file names, the tracks will be played in

that order.

Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start

playback, it is recommended that you create

albums of no more than two trees.

Notes

Depending on the software you use to create the

DATA CD, the playback order may differ from

the illustration above.

The playback order above may not be applicable

if there are more than a total of 999 albums and

tracks in the DATA CD.

The player can recognize up to 499 albums (the

player will count just albums, including albums

that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player

will not play any albums beyond the first 499

albums. Of the first 499 albums, the player will

play no more than a combined total of 999 albums

and tracks.

TV Virtual Surround

Settings

(TVS)

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front

speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets

you enjoy surround sound effects by using

sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers

from the sound of the front speakers (L: left,

R: right) without using actual rear speakers.

TVS was developed by Sony to produce

surround sound for home use using just a

stereo TV.

If the player is set up to output the signal from

the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or

COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will

only be heard when DOLBY DIGITAL is

set to D-PCM and MPEG is set to

PCM in AUDIO SETUP (page 67).

Press SUR during playback.

◆TVS DYNAMIC

Creates virtual rear speakers from the sound

of the front speakers (L, R) without using

actual rear speakers (shown below).

This mode is effective when the distance

between the front L and R speakers is short,

such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

◆TVS WIDE

Creates virtual rear speakers from the sound

of the front speakers (L, R) without using

actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are

reproduced as shown in the illustration

below.

This mode is effective when the distance

between the front L and R speakers is short,

such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

◆TVS NIGHT

Large sounds, such as explosions, are

suppressed, but the quieter sounds are

unaffected. This feature is useful when you

want to hear the dialog and enjoy the

surround sound effects of at

low volume.

◆TVS STANDARD

Creates virtual rear speakers from the sound

of the front speakers (L, R) without using

actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are

reproduced as shown in the illustration

below. Use this setting when you want to use

TVS with 2 separate speakers.
