This label is located on the rear exterior.
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 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.
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.

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.
Message

Rec Error
C14/
TOC Error
C41/
Cannot Copy
Explanation
You are trying to record a disc that
cannot be played back in DECK-A
or with an external device, such as
CD-ROM or VIDEO CD.
· Remove the disc, and then insert a
music CD for playback.
Recording has not been completed
successfully because of vibration.
· Relocate the unit in a place free of
vibration and restart the recording
again.
The disc you try to record is
excessively dirty (such as oil-
stained or finger marked) or
scratched. Or the disc is not
normal.
· Replace the disc with another one
and restart the recording again.
The unit did not read the TOC
information.
· Insert other discs.
The sound source you are trying to
record is a copy of a commercial
music software. Or you are trying
to record on a CD-R/CD-RW
digitally.
· Because of the restriction of the
Serial Copy Management System,
you cannot record copies of
commercial music software or
MP3 files on DECK A. Neither
can you digitally record from a
CD-R/CD-RW.
· Use analog recording through the
ANALOG IN jack when you
record from other units. Or use
Synchro-Recording when you
record from DECK A. (The
recording mode is automatically
changed to analog recording.)
Self-diagnosis Function
When the self-diagnosis function is activated to
prevent the player from malfunctioning, three
character service numbers in a combination
with a message appears in the display. In this
case, check the following table.
C71/
Din Unlock
If this message is displayed
momentarily, this is not an error. It
is caused by the digital signal
during recording.
During recording of a digital sound
source, the connecting cable has
been disconnected or the player of
the sound source has turned off.
· Connect the cable or turn on the
digital player.

SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTE
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
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
repain 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.
The emission check enables continuous checking of the S curve.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the "S curve check" in "CD section adjustment" and check
that the S curve waveform is output three times.
