Notes on chip component replacement
•Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
•Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
•Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C dur-
ing repairing.
•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.
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.
The following caution label is located inside the apparatus.
This appliance is classified as
a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT MARKING is
located on the rear exterior.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
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 0.5 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-operatedAC 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 voltmeter. The “limit” indica-
tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-
amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2VAC range are suit-
able. (See Fig. A)

*The “DVD VIDEO” logo is a trademark.
Discs that this system
cannot play
•CD-ROMs (PHOTO CDs included)
•All CD-Rs other than music and VCD format
CD-Rs
•Data part of CD-Extras
•DVD-ROMs
•DVD Audio discs
Note
Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs or DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs
cannot be played on this system depending upon the
format or the recording quality or physical condition
of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording
device.
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been
correctly finalized. For more information, see the
operating instructions for the recording device.
Playing a disc with MP3
audio tracks
About MP3
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard
technology and format for compressing a sound
sequence. The track is compressed to about
1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside the
range of human hearing are compressed while
the sounds we can hear are not compressed.
Noteson discs
You can play MP3 audio tracks recorded on CD-
ROMs, CD-Rs (recordable CDs), or CD-RWs
(rewritable CDs).
The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 1, level 2 or
Joliet format.
*ISO 9660 Format
The most common international standard for the
logical format of tracks and albums on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In Level 1,
track names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than
eight characters in the name, no more than three
characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital
letters. Album names can be no longer than eight
characters. There can be no more than eight nested
album levels. Level 2 specifications allow album
names and track names up to 31 characters long.
Notes
•With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, 2 and
Joliet, album names or track names may not be
displayed correctly.
•When naming, be sure to add the extension “.MP3”
to the track name.
•If you use the extension “.MP3” to a track other
than MP3, the player cannot recognize the track
properly and will generate random noise that could
damage your speakers.
•Adisc recorded with complicated tree structure
takes a longer time to start playback.
•When the disc is inserted, the player reads all the
tracks on that disc. If there are many albums or non-
MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for
player to begin or for the next MP3 audio tracks to
start play.
•We recommend that you do not save other types of
tracks or unnecessary albums than MP3 audio
tracks in the disc to be used for MP3 listening.
•An album that does not include an MP3 audio track
is skipped.
•Maximum album number in a disc: 99
(The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks that
can be contained on a album is 250.)
•Tracks and albums are played in the order they are
recorded on the disc.
•Only the letters in the alphabet and numbers can be
used for album or track names. Anything else is
displayed as a space.
•ID3 tags cannot be displayed in stop mode.
•The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO
format.

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static break-down because of the potential difference generated
by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human
body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused
on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emis-
sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the “S curve check” in “CD section adjustment” and
check that the S curve waveforms is output three times.
SERVICE POSITION
In checking the DSP/MB/MC/VIDEO boards, prepare jig.

Releasing Procedure :
Press two buttons of Z(DVD) and [DVD TOP MENU] simulta-
neously for five seconds. The message “UNLOCKED” is displayed
and the tray is unlocked.
Note: When “LOCKED” is displayed, the tray lock is not released by
