SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE
WITH MARK 0 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 SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY.
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 during
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.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
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-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 voltmeter. The “limit” indication
is 0.75 V, 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

SERVICING NOTES
UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the
leadfree 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 fl ow)
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.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specifi ed herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suff er electrostatic
break-down because of the potential diff erence 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 fl exible 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 refl ective surface by the objective lens in the optical pickup
block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
CAUTION
Caution – use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
dures other than those specifi ed herein may result in hazardous ra-
diation exposure.
This appliance is classifi ed as a CLASS 1 LASER product under
IEC 60825-1:2014.
When unpacking the carton, be sure that two people handle the unit.
Dropping the unit may cause personal injury and/or property dam-
age.
For customers in EA
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Do not expose batteries or appliances with battery-installed to ex-
cessive heat, such as sunshine and fi re.

DESTINATION SETTING METHOD
The destination information isn’t written in the MOTHERBOARD
board for the service.
The message “PLEASE SET DEST” is always displayed during sys-
tem is turn on.
Therefore, when the MOTHERBOARD board is replaced, be sure to
perform the destination setting (Important work).
Note 1: The initial setting destination of the MOTHERBOARD board for
the service is temporary set as “LATIN”. The message “DEST
ERR” is displayed on the screen display panel.
Note 2: When distinguishing the destination of the product, refer to the
“MODEL IDENTIFICATION” on page 5.
Note 3: If destination setting isn’t performed, it is possibility to occur the
defect to each operation of this unit.
Note 4: Destination would be locked if it has changed for 5 times.
Procedure:
1. Touch two touch keys of the [FIESTA] and [TUNING +>]
simultaneously for 5 seconds during the demonstration mode.
2. It enters the destination setting mode, the message
“D XXXXX” is displayed on the screen display panel.
Note 5: If the message “DESTLOCK” is displayed on the screen display
panel, touch the [N] touch key to release from this mode. Because
the destination is locked, and it cannot change the destination.
3. Touch [TUNING +>] / [TUNING ―.] touch key to select
