1. Check the areaofyour repair forunsolderedor poorly-soldered

connections. Checkthe entire boardsurfaceforsolder splashes

and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are

"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement 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, through functioning, showobvioussigns

of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and

recommend their replacement.

5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

6. 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 checks before releasing the set to the customer.

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

Getting Started

1Step

Unpacking

Check that you have received the following items with the VCR:

Checking your model name

The instructions in this manual are for the 2 models: SLV-SE30UX and

SE45UX. Check your model number by looking at the rear panel of

your VCR. The SLV-SE30UX is the model used for illustration

purposes. Any difference in operation is clearly indicated in the text,

for example, “SLV-SE45UX only.”

• Remote commander

• R6 (size AA) batteries

• Aerial cable

Getting Started

Step 2

Setting up the remote commander

Inserting the batteries

Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by

matching the + and – on the

batteries to the diagram inside the

battery compartment.

Insert the negative (–) end first, then

push in and down until the positive

(+) end clicks into position.

Using the remote commander

You can use this remote

commander to operate this

VCR and a Sony TV. Buttons on

the remote commander marked

with a dot (•) can be used to

operate your Sony TV. If the

TV does not have the gsymbol

near the remote sensor, this

remote commander will not

operate the TV.

To operate

the VCR

indicator in the display window lit).

To use the VPS/PDC function, set VPS/PDC to ON in step 4 above. You can

also use the VPS/PDC function for a source connected to the LINE-1 (TV)
