General Description About Lead Free Solder (PbF)
The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this
equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation.
The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin
(Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30

Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)
• The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used.
• (Definition: The letter of
is printed on the P.C.B. using the lead free solder.)
• To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder.
• Remove the remaining lead free solder on the P.C.B. cleanly for soldering of the new IC.
• Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt the
• Remove the remaining lead free solder on the P.C.B. cleanly for soldering of the new IC.
• Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt the
lead free solder.
• Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350±30 degrees
C (662±86
°F).
Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.)
• The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route.
RFKZ03D01KS-----------(0.3mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ06D01KS-----------(0.6mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ10D01KS-----------(1.0mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ06D01KS-----------(0.6mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ10D01KS-----------(1.0mm 100g Reel)
Note:
* Ingredient: tin (Sn) 96.5%, silver (Ag) 3.0%, Copper (Cu) 0.5%, Cobalt (Co) / Germanium (Ge) 0.1 to 0.3%

How to Define the Model Suffix (NTSC or PAL model)
There are six kinds of DMC-TZ18/ZS8, regardless of the colours.
• a) DMC-ZS8P/PC
• b) DMC-TZ18EB/EF/EG/EP
• c) DMC-TZ18EE
• d) DMC-TZ18GN
• e) DMC-ZS8GK
• f ) DMC-TZ18GC/PR, ZS8GH/PU
• b) DMC-TZ18EB/EF/EG/EP
• c) DMC-TZ18EE
• d) DMC-TZ18GN
• e) DMC-ZS8GK
• f ) DMC-TZ18GC/PR, ZS8GH/PU
What is the difference is that the "INITIAL SETTINGS" data which is stored in Flash ROM mounted on Main P.C.B.

Defining methods
To define the model suffix to be serviced, refer to the nameplate which is putted on the bottom side of the Unit.
Note:
After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., be sure to achieve adjustment.
The Maintenance software (DIAS) is available at "software download" on the "Support Information from NWBG/VDBG-AVC"
web-site in "TSN system".

INITIAL SETTINGS:
After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., make sure to perform the initial settings after achieving the adjustment by ordering the following
procedure in accordance with model suffix of the unit.
procedure in accordance with model suffix of the unit.
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Before proceeding Initial settings, be sure to read the following CAUTIONS.
2. PROCEDURES:
• Precautions: Read the above "CAUTION 1" and "CAUTION 2", carefully.
• Preparation:
• Preparation:
1. Attach the Battery or AC Adaptor with a DC coupler to the unit.
2. Set the mode dial to the PROGRAM AE mode.
2. Set the mode dial to the PROGRAM AE mode.
Note: If the mode dial position is other than PROGRAM AE mode, it does not display the initial settings menu.
• Step 1. The temporary cancellation of "INITIAL SETTINGS":
Set the REC/PLAYBACK selector switch to "REC (Camera mark)".
While keep pressing "UP of Cursor button" and E. ZOOM button simultaneously, turn the Power on.
While keep pressing "UP of Cursor button" and E. ZOOM button simultaneously, turn the Power on.
• Step 2. The cancellation of "INITIAL SETTINGS":
Set the REC/PLAYBACK selector switch to "PLAYBACK".
Press "UP of Cursor button" and E. ZOOM button simultaneously, then turn the Power off.
Press "UP of Cursor button" and E. ZOOM button simultaneously, then turn the Power off.
• Step 3. Turn the Power on:
Set the REC/PLAYBACK selector switch to "REC (Camera mark)", and then turn the Power on.
• Step 4. Display the "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu:
Note: If the unit is other than PROGRAM AE mode, it does not display the initial settings menu.
While keep pressing MENU/SET and "RIGHT of Cursor button" simultaneously, turn the Power off.
The "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu is displayed.
There are two kinds of "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu form as follows:
[CASE 1. After replacing MAIN P.C.B.]
While keep pressing MENU/SET and "RIGHT of Cursor button" simultaneously, turn the Power off.
The "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu is displayed.
There are two kinds of "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu form as follows:
[CASE 1. After replacing MAIN P.C.B.]
When MAIN P.C.B. has just been replaced, all of the model suffix are displayed as follows. (Five pages in total)
12
[CASE 2. Other than "After replacing MAIN P.C.B."]
• Step 5. Chose the model suffix in "INITIAL SETTINGS": (Refer to "CAUTION 1")
[Caution: After replacing MAIN P.C.B.]
(Especially, other than "EG, EF, EB and EP" models).
The model suffix can be chosen, JUST ONE TIME.
Once one of the model suffix have been chosen, the model suffix lists will not be displayed, thus, it can be changed.
Therefore, select the area carefully.
Select the area with pressing "UP / DOWN of Cursor buttons".
