Self-diagnosis Function
(When letters/numbers appear in the
display)
When the self-diagnosis function is activated
to prevent the player from malfunctioning, a
five-character service number (e.g., C 13 50)
with a combination of a letter and four digits
appears on the screen and the front panel
display. In this case, check the following
table.
First three
characters of
the service
number
Cause and/or corrective
action
C 13
The disc is dirty.
, Clean the disc with a soft
cloth.
C 31
The disc is not inserted
correctly.
, Re-insert the disc
correctly.
C 32
The front cover
automatically opens and the
player enters standby mode.
, Check that there is
nothing wrong inside the
rotary table, such as a
fallen disc. After you
have checked the inside
of the rotary table and
resolved any possible
problems, press
H.
E XX
(xx is a number)
To prevent a malfunction, the
player has performed the
self-diagnosis function.
, Contact your nearest
Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service
facility and give the 5-
character service number.
Example: E 61 10
C:13:50
Note: Refer to the "4. TEST MODE" (page 23)

CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra-
diation exposure.
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.
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 pas-
sive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

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 viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges oc-
cur 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.

Example of discs that the player
cannot play
The player cannot play the following discs:
·All CD-ROMs (including PHOTO CDs)/
CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded
in the following formats:
music CD format
video CD format
MP3 format that conforms to ISO9660*
Level 1/Level 2, or its extended format,
Joliet
·Data part of CD-Extras
· DVD-ROMs
· DVD Audios
*A logical format of files and folders on CD-
ROMs defined by ISO (International Standards
Organization).
Also, the player cannot play the following
discs:
·A DVD VIDEO with a different region
code.
·A disc recorded in a color system other than
NTSC, such as PAL or SECAM (this player
conforms to the NTSC color system).
·A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g.,
card, heart).
·A disc with paper or stickers on it.
·A disc that has the adhesive of cellophane
tape or a sticker still left on it.
Notes
·Note about DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, DVD+RWs/
DVD+Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs.
Some DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, DVD+RWs/
DVD+Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played
on this player due to the recording quality or
physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device and
authoring software. Also, images in DVD-RWs
with CPRM* protection may not be played if they
contain a copy protection signal. "Copyright
lock" appears on the screen. For more
information, see the operating instructions for the
recording device.
Note that discs created in the Packet Write format
cannot be played.
*CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable
Media) is a coding technology that protects
copyright for images.
This Player Can Play the
Following Discs
"DVD VIDEO" and "DVD-RW" are
trademarks.
Region code
Your player has a region code printed on the
back of the unit and will only play DVD
VIDEOs (playback only) labeled with
identical region codes. This system is used to
protect copyrights.
DVD VIDEOs labeled
will also play on
this player.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the
message "Playback prohibited by area
limitations." will appear on the TV screen.
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region
code indication may be labeled even though
playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by
area restrictions.

·Music discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.
Note on playback operations of
DVDs and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by
software producers. Since this player plays
DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc
contents the software producers designed,
some playback features may not be available.
Also, refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.
