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 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.

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-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 2 V AC range are suitable. (See

SECTION 1

SERVICING NOTES

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.

NOTE OF REPAIRING THE BOARDS

When boards other than the MAIN board installed by this unit are

defective, individual electrical parts that the mount is done cannot

be exchanged.

Exchange the mounted board, or exchange the whole parts includ-

ing an applicable board.

NOTE THE CN401, IC001, IC012, IC905 AND IC906

ON THE MAIN BOARD REPLACING

CN401, IC001, IC012, IC905 and IC906 on the MAIN board

cannot exchange with single. When these parts are damaged, ex-

change the complete mounted board.

NOTE OF BAFFLE REPLACING

The washers (twelve places) may be attached to the bafﬂe of this

unit.

When replacing bafﬂe, it is not necessary to newly attach the wash-

ers.

Please attach a new bafﬂe in the state where there are no washers.

When replacing baffle,

twelve washers are not necessary.
