SAFETY CHECK-OUT

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 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 recommend

their replacement.

5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion.

Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the

customer.

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

7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,

screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check

leakage as described below.

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:

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye

hazard.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other

than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation

exposure.

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK OR DOTTED LINE WITH

MARK ON 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 SUPPLE-

MENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY.

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety

checks before releasing the set to the customer:

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and

from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a

return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5mA (500 microampers). Leak-

age current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA

TW-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these

instruments.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245

digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM

or battery-operated AC volmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75V,

so analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. The

Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive

VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital

multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

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 highter 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.

Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

cabinet, unplug the player and have it

checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected from the AC

power source (mains) as long as it is

connected to the wall outlet, even if the

player itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a

long time, be sure to disconnect the player

from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC

power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug

itself; never pull the cord.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the

player.

• Do not place the player on a soft surface

such as a rug.

• Do not place the player in a location near

heat sources, or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical

shock.

• Do not install this player in a confined

space, such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Install the player so that the AC power cord

(mains lead) can be unplugged from the

wall socket immediately in the event of

trouble.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold

to a warm location, or is placed in a very

damp room, moisture may condense on the

lenses inside the player. Should this occur,

the player may not operate properly. In this

case, remove the disc and leave the player

turned on for about half an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

• When you move the player, take out any

discs. If you don’t, the disc may be

damaged.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to

a section with very low level inputs or no

audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be

damaged when a peak level section is played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a

soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. Do not use any type of

abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent

such as alcohol or benzine.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens

cleaners (including wet or spray types).

These may cause the apparatus to

malfunction.

On replacement of parts

In the event that this unit is repaired, repaired

parts may be collected for reuse or recycling

purposes.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your player, please consult your

nearest Sony dealer.

About audio signals

Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the

sound elements (channels) shown below.

Each channel is output from a separate

speaker.

• Front (L)

• Front (R)

•Centre

• Rear (L)

• Rear (R)

• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either

the Dolby Surround Sound processed

signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s

monaural rear audio signals.

• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal

Notes

• If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP”

(page 54) the DTS track selection option will not

appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS

tracks.

• MPEG audio signals with more than two channels

will appear as shown above (3/2.1, 2/1), but only

the Front (L) and Front (R) signals will be output

from your two front speakers.

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.

This only works when playing a multichannel

Dolby audio soundtrack. Furthermore, 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 54).

1Press SUR during playback.

The following display appears.

2Press SUR repeatedly to select

one of the TVS sounds.

To cancel the setting

Select “OFF” in step 2.

◆TVS DYNAMIC THEATER, TVS DYNAMIC,

TVS WIDE

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

This feature is useful when you want to hear

the dialogue and enjoy the surround sound

effects of “TVS WIDE” at low volume.

◆TVS STANDARD

Use this setting when you want to use TVS

with 2 separate speakers.

Notes

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal

for the rear speakers, the surround effects cannot

be heard.

• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off

the surround setting of the connected TV or audio

component.

• Make sure that your listening position is between

and at an equal distance from your speakers, and

that the speakers are located in similar

surroundings.

• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT”

function in the same way.

• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast

Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can

change the TVS modes.

About MP3 Audio Tracks

and JPEG Image Files

MP3 is audio compression technology that

satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG regulations.

JPEG is image compression technology.

You can play DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that

contain MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image

files.

DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that the

player can play

You can play back DATA CDs or DATA

DVDs recorded in MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio

Layer III) and JPEG format.

However, this player only plays DATA CDs

whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/

Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of

Universal Disk Format (UDF).

Refer to the instructions supplied with the

disc drives and the recording software (not

supplied) for details on the recording format.

Note

The player may not be able to play some DATA

CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write

format.

MP3 audio track or JPEG image

file that the player can play

The player can play the following tracks and

files:

– MP3 audio tracks with the extension

“.MP3.”

– JPEG image files with the extension

“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”

– JPEG image files that conform to the DCF*

image file format.

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image

standards for digital cameras regulated by JEITA

(Japan Electronics and Information Technology

Industries Association).

Notes

• The player will play any data with the extension

“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not

in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may

generate a loud noise which could damage your

speaker system.

• The player does not conform to audio tracks in

mp3PRO format.

• Some JPEG files cannot be played.

zHints

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

of the track/file names when you store the tracks

(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be

played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start

playback, it is recommended that you create

albums with no more than two trees.

Notes

• Depending on the software you use to create the

DATA CD/DATA DVD, the playback order may

differ from the above illustration.

• The playback order above may not be applicable

if there are more than 200 albums and 300 tracks/

files in each album.

• The player can recognize up to 200 albums (the

player will count just albums, including albums

that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG

image files). The player will not play any albums

beyond the 200th album.
