SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK
! OR DOTTED LINE WITH
MARK
! 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.
After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks 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
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 microampers).
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 2V AC range are suitable. (See
Fig. A)

SECTION 2
TEST MODE
INITIALIZATION MODE
*
All preset contents are cleared when this mode is activated. Use
this mode before returning the product to clients upon
completion of repair.
*
Procedure:
While depressing the VIDEO, TAPE/MD and the CD buttons
simultaneously, press the power [I/
u] button to turn on the main
power. The message INITIAL appears and initialization is
performed.
FLUORESCENT INDICATOR TUBE TEST MODE
*
All fluorescent segments are tested. When this test is activated,
all segments turn on at the same time, then each segment turns
on one after another.
*
Procedure:
While depressing the CD and the TAPE/MD buttons
simultaneously, press the power [I/
u] button to turn on the main
power. All segments turn on at the same time, then each segment
turns on one after another. The message FINISH appears when
this test is complete.
AM CHANNEL STEP 9 kHz/10 kHz
SELECTION MODE
*
Either the 9 kHz step or 10 kHz step can be selected for the AM
channel step.
*
Procedure:
Set the FUNCTION to AM. Turn off the main power.
While depressing the TUNING+ button, press the power [I/
u]
button to turn on the main power. Either the message 9k STEP
or 10k STEP appears. Select the desired step.
REAR SPEAKER GAIN UP MODE
*
The rear speaker gain can be set to either NORMAL or GAIN
UP.
*
Procedure:
While depressing the -SURROUND button, press the power [I/
u] button to turn on the main power. Either the message
NORMAL or GAIN UP appears. When the product enters this
mode again, the other gain appears. Select the desired gain.
