Lead Free Soldered Boards
The circuit boards listed below [Table 1] used in these models
may have been processed using Lead Free Solder. The boards are
identified by the LF logo located close to the board designation
e.g. F1, H1 etc [ see examples ]. The servicing of these boards
requires special precautions to be taken as outlined below.

It is strongly recommended to use Lead Free Solder material in order to guarantee optimal quality of new solder joints. Lead Free Solder
is available under the following part numbers :
Due to the higher melting point of Lead Free Solder the soldering iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees centigrade. This
requires soldering equipment capable of accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat recovery characteristics.
For more information on the use of Lead Free Solder, please refer to http://www.sony-training.com

WARNING (UK Modelsonly)
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused
plug having a fuse of 5AMP rating. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, use a 5AMP FUSE approved byASTA to BS 1362, ie
one that carries the ASA
Tmark.
IF THE PLUG SUPPLIED WITH THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT
SUITABLE FOR THE OUTLET SOCKETS IN YOUR HOME, IT
SHOULD BE CUT OFF AND AN APPROPRIATE PLUG FITTED.
THE PLUG SEVERED FROM THE MAINS LEAD MUST BE
DESTROYED AS A PLUG WITH BARED WIRES IS
DANGEROUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET.
When an alternative type of plug is used, it should be fitted with a
5AMP FUSE, otherwise the circuit should be protected by a
5AMP FUSE at the distribution board.

AE-6D SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
The identification of errors within theAE-6D chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the
event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous
flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty. If a device is found to be faulty the relevant
device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted) See table 1., non fatal errors are reported using this
method.

Device acknowledge is used to check IIC errors. Device acknowledge is checked by sending an IIC start sequence during CRT power on. Each
device is checked three times, if there is no acknowledge after each attempt, it will be regarded as an error.
There are three steps to check for errors.
1. IIC line 0
If all devices except the NVM have errors, IIC line 0 error is displayed.
2. Board check
If all devices mounted on one board have errors, board error is displayed.
3. Each device check
If IIC line error and board error are not detected then the device with the error is displayed.
The detected errors can be displayed as follows :
1. Error Monitor Menu.
2. Error Reader.

Using a Digital text service
Most digital TV channels broadcast information via their text service. This digital service includes high quality text and graphics along with advanced navigation options. Additionally, this TV has access to dedicated text channels transmitted by the broadcasting authorities. The appearance, content and navigation methods of all Digital text services are decided by the broadcaster. For example, the BBC’s Digital text service may look different to ITV’s Digital text. Most of the Digital text services currently available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons: The text button to load up the Digital text, The V, v, Band bbuttons (to move around the screen),
The OK button or the numbered buttons (to select items on screen), The button (to cancel or exit), The four coloured buttons (to access shortcuts).
Selecting a dedicated Digital text channel 1. Press the button on the remote control to check if you are in digital mode. If you are watching a
digital programme an Info display appears on screen providing brief details for the current and next programme. If the display does not appear, press the DIGITAL/ button to switch to digital mode.
2. Press the button to remove the Info display from the TV screen then select the programme
number that is broadcasting the dedicated Digital text channel by using the numbered buttons on the remote control. If you do not know the channel number of a dedicated Digital text channel,you can use the ‘Channel Index menu’ to find one. (Please refer to the ‘Channel index menu’ section of this
manual.)
3. Once the text page is displayed, follow the on-screen instructions to obtain your required selection.
Note: On some pages the TV programme may also be displayed on the text screen. On-screen instructions will inform you how to change the displayed programme.
4. If you are instructed to press ‘OK’, ‘Select’ or ‘Cancel’ when viewing the text pages, press the OK
button for ‘OK’ and ‘Select’, and the button for ‘Cancel’ or ‘Exit’.
5. When you have finished viewing the text service, press the button to exit.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OFTHE MAIN-BRACKET
BOTTOM PLATES.
(1) REMOVING THE PLATES
In the event of servicing being required to the solder side of some of the printed wiring boards, the bottom plates fitted to the main chassis bracket require to be removed. This is performed by cutting the gates with a sharp wire cutter at the locations indicated by the arrows. Note : There are 3 plates fitted to the main bracket and secured by3 gates.
Only remove the necessary plate to gain access to the printed wiring board.
(2) REFITTING THE PLATES
Because the plates differ in size it is important that the correct plates are refitted in their original location. Please note that the plates need to be rotated 180 degrees from their cut position to allow the tabs to be fitted into their catch positions.

Preparation:
1. In order to reduce the influence of geomagnetism on the
set’s picture tube, face it in an easterly or westerly direction.
2. Switch on the set’s power and degauss with the degausser.
1. Input an all white signal from the pattern generator. Set the
Contrast and Brightness to normal.
2. Set the pattern generator raster signal to Red.
3. Move the deflection yoke forward and adjust with the
purity control so that the Red is at the centre and the Blue
and Green take up equally sized areas on each side of the
screen. [See Fig.3-1 - 3-3].
4. Move the deflection yoke backwards and adjust so that the
entire screen becomes Red. [See Fig.3-1]
5. Switch the raster signal to Blue, then to Green and verify
thecondition.
6. When the position of the deflection yoke has been
determined, fasten the deflection yoke with the screws.
7. If the beam does not land correctly in all the corners, use a
magnet to correct it. [See Fig.3-4]
•When complete readjustment is necessary or a new picture
tube is installed, carry out the following adjustments.
•Unless there are specific instructions to the contrary, carry
out these adjustments with the rated power supply.
