Earth Ground

LEAKAGETEST

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 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).

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

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

WT-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 thevoltage drop across aresistorbymeansofaVOM

or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is

0.75V,so analog metersmust have an accurate low-voltage scale.

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

passiveVOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital

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

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered

connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes

and bridges.

2. Checkthe interboardwiring toensure that no wires are “pinched”

or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Lookfor unauthorizedreplacement 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, though functioning, show obvious signs

ofdeterioration. 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 exposedmetal parts forACleakage. Check

leakage as described below.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:

PRECAUTIONS

1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1) Before returning an instrument to the customer, always make a

safety check of the entire instrument, including, but not limited

to, the following items:

(1) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective or have

been defeated during servicing.

(1)Protective shields are provided to protect both the technician

and the customer. Correctly replace all missing protective

shields, including any removed for servicing convenience.

(2)When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assembly in the

cabinet, be sure to put back in place all protective devices,

including, but not limited to, nonmetallic control knobs,

insulating fish papers, adjustment and compartment covers/

shields,and isolation resistor/capacitornetworks.Do not operate

this instrument or permit it to be operated without all protective

devices correctly installed and functioning.

(2) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which adults

or children might be able to insert their fingers and contact a

hazardous voltage. Such openings include, but are not limited

to, excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and an improperly

fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet back cover.

(3) Leakage Current Hot Check-With the instrument completely

reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC

outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.)

Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies

with American National Standards institute (ANSI) C101.1

Leakage Current forAppliances and Underwriters Laboratories

(UL) 1270 (40.7). With the instrument’s AC switch first in the

ONposition andthen in the OFF position,measure from a known

earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed

metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle brackets, metal

cabinets, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.),

especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return

path to the chassis.

Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA. Reverse the

instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat the test. See

Fig. 1.

Anymeasurementsnot within thelimits specifiedhereinindicate

apotential shock hazardthat must beeliminated before returning

the instrument to the customer.

(4) Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power

supply cord and connect a jumper wire between the two prongs

of the plug. (2) Turn on the power switch of the instrument. (3)

Measurethe resistance with an ohmmeterbetween the jumpered

AC plugand all exposed metalliccabinet parts onthe instrument,

such as screwheads, antenna, control shafts, handle brackets,

etc. When an exposed metallic part has a return path to the

chassis,the reading shouldbe between 1and 5.2 megohm.When

thereis no returnpath to the chassis, the reading must be infinite.

If the reading is not within the limits specified, there is the

possibilityof a shock hazard, and the instrument must be repared

and rechecked before it is returned to the customer. See Fig. 2.

or electrical design of this instrument. Design alterations and

additions, including but not limited to, circuit modifications and

the addition of items such as auxiliary audio output connections,

mightalter the safetycharacteristics of thisinstrument and create

a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions will

make you, the servicer, responsible for personal injury or

property damage resulting therefrom.

4) Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure correct

lead dress in the following areas:

(1) near sharp edges, (2) near thermally hot parts (be sure that

leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts), (3) the

AC supply, (4) high voltage, and (5) antenna wiring. Always

inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring,

Do not change spacing between a component and the printed-

circuit board. Check the AC power cord for damage.

5) Components,parts, and/or wiringthat appear to have overheated

or that are otherwise damaged should be replaced with

components, parts and/ or wiring that meet original

specifications.

Additionally, determine the cause of overheating and/or damage

and, if necessary, take corrective action to remove any potential

safety hazard.

6) Product Safety Notice-Some electrical and mechanical parts

have special safety-related characteristics which are often not

evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they give

necessarilybe obtainedby replacingthem with components rated

for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have special safety

characteristics are identified by shading, an ( ) or a ( ) on

schematics and parts lists. Use of a substitute replacement that

does not have the same safety characteristics as the

recommended replacement part might create shock, fire and/or

other hazards. Product safety is under review continuously and

new instructions are issued whenever appropriate.

2 SERVICING PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: Before servicing units covered by this service manual

and its supplements, read and follow the Safety Precautions section

of this manual.

Note: If unforseen circumstances create conflict between the

following servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions,

always follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety First.

2-1 General Servicing Precautions

(1) a. Always unplug the instrument’sAC power cord from theAC

power source before (1) re-moving or reinstalling any

component, circuit board, module or any other instrument

assembly, (2) disconnecting any instrument electrical plug or

other electrical connection, (3) connecting a test substitute in

parallel with an electrolytic capacitor in the instrument.

b. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with

which instruments covered by this service manual might be

equipped.

c. Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of its

electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks

are correctly installed.

d. Always connect a test instrument’s ground lead to the

instrument chassis ground before connecting the test

instrument positive lead. Always remove the test instrument

ground lead last.

Note: Refer to the Safety Precautions section ground lead last.

(2) The service precautions are indicated or printed on the cabinet,

chassis or components. When servicing, follow the printed or

indicated service precautions and service materials.

(3)The components used in the unit have a specified flame

resistance and dielectric strength.

When replacing components, use components which have the

same ratings. Components identified by shading, by ( ) or by

() in the circuit diagram are important for safety or for the

characteristics of the unit. Always replace them with the exact

replacement components.

(4) An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used and some

components are raised above the printed wiring board for safety.

The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact

with heating components. Install such elements as they were.

(5) After servicing, always check that the removed screws,

components, and wiring have been installed correctly and that

the portion around the serviced part has not been damaged and

so on. Further, check the insulation between the blades of the

attachment plug and accessible conductive parts.

2-2 Insulation Checking Procedure

Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn the

power ON. Connect the insulation resistance meter (500V) to the

blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between

each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts

(see note) should be more than 1 Megohm.

Note: Accessible conductive parts include metal panels, input

terminals, earphone jacks, etc.

3 ESD PRECAUSIONS

Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily

by static electricity.

Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive

Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated

circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip

components.Thefollowingtechniques shouldbe used tohelp reduce

the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

(1) Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or

semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic

charge on your body by touching a known earth ground.

Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available

discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for

potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under

test.

(2) After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD

devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as

aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or

exposure of the assembly.

(3) Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder

ESD devices.

(4) Use only an anti-static solder removal devices. Some solder

removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can generate

electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.

(5) Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate

electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.

(6) Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective

package until immediately before your are ready to install it.

(Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads

electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil

or comparable conductive materials).

(7) Immediately before removing the protective materials from the

leadsof a replacement ESDdevice,touch the protective material

to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be

installed.

CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit,

and observe all other safety precautions.

(8) Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged

replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as

the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of

your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity

sufficient to damage an ESD device).

4 HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP

The laser diode in the optical pick up may suffer electrostatic

breakdown because of potential static electricity from clothing and

your body.

The following method is recommended.

(1) Place a conductive sheet on the work bench (The black sheet

used for wrapping repair parts.)

(2) Place the set on the conductive sheet so that the chassis is

grounded to the sheet.

(3) Place your hands on the conductive sheet (This gives them the

same ground as the sheet.)

(4) Remove the optical pick up block

(5) Perform work on top of the conductive sheet. Be careful not to

let your clothes or any other static sources to touch the unit.

◆Be sure to put on a wrist strap grounded to the sheet.

◆Be sure to lay a conductive sheet made of copper etc. Which is

grounded to the table.

Fig.3

(6) Short the short terminal on the PCB, which is inside the Pick-

UpASS’Y, before replacing the Pick-Up. (The short terminal is

shorted when the Pick-Up Ass’y is being lifted or moved.)

(7) After replacing the Pick-up, open the short terminal on the PCB.

Getting Started

Basic hookups

Step 3 : Basic hookups

Before you get started

•Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord of each component before connecting.

•Turn off the power to all equipment.

•Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed. If

you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not

be able to use the Plug and Play function.

•Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture

distortion.

•If your TV does not match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony

dealer or qualified technician.

Selecting the best hookup option

There are many ways in which your DVD-VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your

DVD-VCR so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below. Then use

the accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your

DVD-VCR.

If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 14 for audio/video (A/V) hookup.

Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, go

directly to one of the hookups below.

After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.

After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR.

Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used.

Caution

Connections between the DVD-VCR’s VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the

TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions. Failure to do so may

result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission

regarding the use and operation of RF devices. Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an

antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna

terminals of your receiver.

Note to CATV system installer (in USA)

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820- 40 of the

NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable

ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable

entry as practical.

14 Basic hookups

Audio/video (A/V) hookup

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if

you hook up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V

inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups. Note that “Advanced

Hookups” (page 62) explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the

picture and sound for a true “hometheater” experience.

If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to

make the connections shown on this page. If you want to record regular or cable TV

programs, complete these connections first, and then go to the following pages for

antenna or cable hookups.

AUse this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks

BUse this hookup if your TV does not have stereo jacks

30 Setting up the VCR Plus+

system (SLV-D560P only)

Step 7 : Setting up the VCR Plus+®system

(SLV-D560P only)

How the VCR Plus+ system works

Whenever you want to record a TV program,

all you need to do is look up the “PlusCode”

number, a number assigned to each program

published in the TV section of most

newspapers, cable TV listings, and even TV

GUIDE magazine. Then, just enter the

PlusCode number of the program you want

and the VCR is automatically programmed to

record that show. It’s that simple.

How to set up your VCR

Setting up your VCR involves coordinating

the TV channel number (the number you turn

to on your TV or VCR to watch a program)

with the guide channel (the number that is

assigned to that channel in your program

guide).

To find the guide channel numbers, look at

the “Channel Line-up Chart” in the program

guide for your area that features VCR

PlusCode numbers. It usually looks like the

example to the right.

To set the guide channels, use the Channel

Line-up Chart to check that the guide channel

numbers match the TV channel your VCR

receives. For example, if HBO is listed in the

Channel Line-up Chart as channel 33, and

your VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you

need to coordinate these numbers using the

following procedure. If the guide and TV

channel numbers are the same, you can skip

this procedure.

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD

•When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.

To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions

when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to anamplification system. To

enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be

connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.

•Setthesound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD

(page 87).

•Donot play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio

component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in

“AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 66), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be

damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

•DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or

OPTICAL) jack.

•When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”

menu (page 66).

•Ifyou connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to

“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 66). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,

affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
