The circuit boards used in these models have been processed using
Lead Free Solder. The boards are identified by the LF logo located
close to the board designation e.g. H1 etc [ see example ]. The
servicing of these boards requires special precautions to be taken as
outlined below.
example 1
It is strongly recommended to use Lead Free Solder material in order to guarantee optimal quality of new solder joints. 
Lead Free Solder is available under the following part numbers :
Due to the higher melting point of Lead Free Solder the soldering iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees centigrade. 
This requires soldering equipment capable of accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat recovery characteristics.
For more information on the use of Lead Free Solder, please refer to  http://www.sony-training.com

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following 
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1.  Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered 
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and 
bridges.
2.  Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or 
touching high-wattage resistors.
3.  Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and 
mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that 
you have replaced all the insulators.
4.  Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, 
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the 
customer and recommend their replacement.
5.  Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of 
deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their 
replacement.
6.  Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the 
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7.  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 
instructions.
2.  A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. 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’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of 
passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital 
multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).
How to Find a Good Earth Ground
A cold-water pipe is a guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate 
retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground. If the 
retaining screw is to be used as your earth ground, verify that it is at 
ground by measuring the resistance between it and a cold-water pipe 
with an ohmmeter. The reading should be zero ohms.
If a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60- to 100-watt 
trouble- light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle 
and the retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot 
side on the line; the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw 
is at ground potential (see Figure B).

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
Self Diagnosis
Supported model
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY LED indicator will automatically begin to fl ash. The number 
of times the LED fl ashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A defi nition of the STANDBY LED fl ash indicators is listed in the instruction 
manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the Remote Commander can be used to review the failure 
occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
1. Diagnostic Test Indicators
When an error occurs, the STANDBY LED indicator will fl ash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than 
one error, the indicator will identify the fi rst of the problem areas.
