Notes on chip component replacement
· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged 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-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.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
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 2 V AC range are suitable. (See
Fig. A)

SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTES
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
break-down because of the potential difference 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 flexible 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 reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-
up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
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
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.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
During normal operation of the equipment, emission of the laser
diode is prohibited unless the upper lid is closed while turning ON
the S801. (push switch type)
The following checking method for the laser diode is operable.
· Method
Emission of the laser diode is visually checked.
1. Open the upper lid.
2. Push the S801 as shown in Fig.1.
Note: Do not push the detection lever strongly, or it may be bent or damaged.
3. Press the u button.
4. Check the object lens for confirming normal emission of the
laser diode. If not emitting, there is a trouble in the automatic
power control circuit or the optical pick-up.
In this operation, the object lens will move up and down 2
times along with inward motion for the focus search.

Notes
· If ATRAC3plus files and
MP3 files are recorded on
the same CD, this CD

The structure of ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs
ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs consist of "files" and "groups." A
"file" is equivalent to a "track" of an audio CD. A "group"
is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an "album."
For MP3 CDs, this CD player recognizes an MP3 folder as
a "group" so that ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs can be
operated in the same way.
In this manual, we use the word "track" in description of
the operations available for both ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs
and audio CDs, and the word "file" for the operations
available for ATRAC CDs/MP3 CDs only.
Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order selected in
SonicStage.
For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on
the method used to record MP3 files on the disc. In the
following example, files are played in order of 1 to 7.
File
Group
MP3 CD
Notes on ATRAC CDs
·Maximum number of groups: 255
Maximum number of files: 999
· CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the ATRAC3plus format cannot be
played on your computer.
Notes on MP3 CDs
·Maximum number of groups: 255
Maximum number of files: 511
Maximum directory level: 8
·A group that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.
· Be sure to add the file extension "mp3" to the file name.
However, if you add the file extension "mp3" to a file other than
an MP3 file, the player will not be able to recognize the file
properly.
· This player can play bit rates of 32 to 320 kbps, and sampling
frequencies of 32/44.1/ 48 kHz.
·To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the
compression parameters to "44.1 kHz," "128 kbps," and
"Constant Bit Rate."
·To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software
to "halting of writing."
·To record to the maximum capacity at one time up on media that
has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to "Disc at
Once."
