SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
- Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges.
- Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are "pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.
- Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
WARNING!!
WHEN SERVICING, DO NOT APPROACH THE LASER EXIT WITH THE EYE TOO CLOSELY. IN CASE IT IS NECESSARY TO CONFIRM LASER BEAM EMISSION, BE SURE TO OBSERVE FROM A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 25 cm FROM THE SURFACE OF THE OBJECTIVE LENS ON THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK.
- Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
- Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
CAUTION:
The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye hazard.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This appliance is classified as
a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT MARKING is
located on the rear exterior.
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^ 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 △ 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.

1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Before returning an instrument to the customer, always make a safety check of the entire instrument, including, but not limited to, the following items:
(1) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective or have been defeated during servicing.
(1) Protective shields are provided to protect both the technician and the customer. Correctly replace all missing protective shields, including any removed for servicing convenience.
(2) When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assembly in the cabinet, be sure to put back in place all protective devices, including, but not limited to, nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fish papers, adjustment and compartment covers/shields, and isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate this instrument or permit it to be operated without all protective devices correctly installed and functioning.
(2) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which adults or children might be able to insert their fingers and contact a hazardous voltage. Such openings include, but are not limited to, excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and an improperly fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet back cover.
(3) Leakage Current Hot Check-With the instrument completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standards institute (ANSI) C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1270 (40.7). With the instrument's AC switch first in the ON position and then in the OFF position, measure from a known earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle brackets, metal cabinets, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA. Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat the test. See Fig. 1.
Any measurements not within the limits specified herein indicate a potential shock hazard that must be eliminated before returning the instrument to the customer.

(4) Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power supply cord and connect a jumper wire between the two prongs of the plug. (2) Turn on the power switch of the instrument. (3) Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and all exposed metallic cabinet parts on the instrument, such as screwheads, antenna, control shafts, handle brackets, etc. When an exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1 and 5.2 megohm. When there is no return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinite. If the reading is not within the limits specified, there is the possibility of a shock hazard, and the instrument must be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer. See Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 Insulation Resistance Test
2) Read and comply with all caution and safety related notes on or inside the cabinet, or on the chassis.
3) Design Alteration Warning-Do not alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of this instrument. Design alterations and additions, including but not limited to, circuit modifications and the addition of items such as auxiliary audio output connections, might alter the safety characteristics of this instrument and create a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions will make you, the servicer, responsible for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
4) Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure correct lead dress in the following areas:
(1) near sharp edges, (2) near thermally hot parts (be sure that leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts), (3) the AC supply, (4) high voltage, and (5) antenna wiring. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring, Do not change spacing between a component and the printed-circuit board. Check the AC power cord for damage.
5) Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated or that are otherwise damaged should be replaced with components, parts and/or wiring that meet original specifications.
Additionally, determine the cause of overheating and/or damage and, if necessary, take corrective action to remove any potential safety hazard.
6) Product Safety Notice-Some electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics which are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they give necessarily be obtained by replacing them with components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by shading, an ( ) or a ( ) on schematics and parts lists. Use of a substitute replacement that does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part might create shock, fire and/or other hazards. Product safety is under review continuously and new instructions are issued whenever appropriate.
CAUTION: Before servicing units covered by this service manual and its supplements, read and follow the Safety Precautions section of this manual.
Note: If unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety First.
2-1 General Servicing Precautions
(1) a. Always unplug the instrument's AC power cord from the AC power source before (1) re-moving or reinstalling any component, circuit board, module or any other instrument assembly, (2) disconnecting any instrument electrical plug or other electrical connection, (3) connecting a test substitute in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor in the instrument.
b. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with which instruments covered by this service manual might be equipped.
c. Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks are correctly installed.
d. Always connect a test instrument's ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting the test instrument positive lead. Always remove the test instrument ground lead last.
Note: Refer to the Safety Precautions section ground lead last.
(2) The service precautions are indicated or printed on the cabinet, chassis or components. When servicing, follow the printed or indicated service precautions and service materials.
(3) The components used in the unit have a specified flame resistance and dielectric strength.
When replacing components, use components which have the same ratings. Components identified by shading, by (A) or by (A) in the circuit diagram are important for safety or for the characteristics of the unit. Always replace them with the exact replacement components.
(4) An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used and some components are raised above the printed wiring board for safety. The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact with heating components. Install such elements as they were.
(5) After servicing, always check that the removed screws, components, and wiring have been installed correctly and that the portion around the serviced part has not been damaged and so on. Further, check the insulation between the blades of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts.
2-2 Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn the power ON. Connect the insulation resistance meter (500V) to the blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts (see note) should be more than 1 Megohm.
Note: Accessible conductive parts include metal panels, input terminals, earphone jacks, etc.
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity.
Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
(1) Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.
(2) After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
(3) Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ESD devices.
(4) Use only an anti-static solder removal devices. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
(5) Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
(6) Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective package until immediately before your are ready to install it. (Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive materials).
(7) Immediately before removing the protective materials from the leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
(8) Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD device).
The laser diode in the optical pick up may suffer electrostatic breakdown because of potential static electricity from clothing and your body.
The following method is recommended.
(1) Place a conductive sheet on the work bench (The black sheet used for wrapping repair parts.)
(2) Place the set on the conductive sheet so that the chassis is grounded to the sheet.
(3) Place your hands on the conductive sheet(This gives them the same ground as the sheet.)
(4) Remove the optical pick up block
(5) Perform work on top of the conductive sheet. Be careful not to let your clothes or any other static sources to touch the unit.
◆ Be sure to put on a wrist strap grounded to the sheet.
- Be sure to lay a conductive sheet made of copper etc. Which is grounded to the table.


Fig.3
(6) Short the short terminal on the PCB, which is inside the Pick-Up ASS'Y, before replacing the Pick-Up. (The short terminal is shorted when the Pick-Up Ass'y is being lifted or moved.)
(7) After replacing the Pick-up, open the short terminal on the PCB.
5-1 Disassembly
1) Remove the power cord.
2) Disassemble the Deck-Assy.
3) Make solder land 2 points short on Pick-up. (See Fig. 4)

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores.

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD
- When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.
- Set the sound to "STEREO" using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 82).
- Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL, or OPTICAL) jack even if "DTS" is set to "Non" in "Options Audio" mean (page 63), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

Dolby Digital (pages 60 and 63)
Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 59)
Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.
DTS (page 63)
Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio.
Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.
DVD (page 6)
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.
DVD-RW (page 6)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.
DVD+RW (page 6)
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

6-2-2(b) SKEW Adjustment Method
Needed to minimize the variations in Skew of the Pickup unit and to provide optimum match with the recorded signal on the Disc. 1) Connect an Oscilloscope to the "SKEW" Test Point (See Fig. 6-5). 2) Connect Power, Open the Tray and Play the TDV-533 Disc, Chapter 14. ◆ Set the Oscilloscope Range as follows : (Voltage ; 50mV/Div., Frequency ; 10m Sec.) 3) Adjust the Screws "A" and "B" (See Fig. 6-6) using a Hex screwdriver until you obtain a Flat Waveform and the picture is stable. Then, go to Chapter 1 and make sure the Waveform is Flat here as well. If not, you have to go back to Chapter 14 and adjust again. If you cannot obtain a Flat waveform, then the unit is defective. Note: The Deck must be in a horizontal position. Use both "A" and "B" screws to adjust. natural_image

The tape transport system has been adjusted precisely in the factory. Alignment is not necessary except for the following : 1) Noise observed on the screen. 2) Tape damage. 3) Parts replacement in the tape transport system. Lower flange height of tape guide is used as the reference for the transport adjustment. To maintain the height of the tape guide and prevent damage, do not apply excessive force onto the main base.  Fig. 6-8 Location of Tape Transport Adjustment  Fig. 6-9 Tape Travel Diagram6-3-2 Tape Transport System Adjustment
When parts are replaced, perform the required adjustments by referring to procedures for the tape transport system. If there are any changes to the tape path, first run a T-120 tape and make sure excessive tape wrinkle does not occur at the tape guides. ◆ If tape wrinkle is observed at the guide roller S, T, turn the guide roller S, T until wrinkle disappears. ◆ If the tape wrinkle is still observed at the tape guide, perform the tilt adjustment of the ACE head.(1) ACE Head Assembly Adjustment
a. ACE HEAD HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1) Run the alignment tape (Color bar) in the playback mode. 2) Observe surface of the audio head using a dental mirror. 3) Turn screw (C) clockwise or counterclockwise until the gap of lower tape edge and the lower edge of the control head is about 0.25mm. (Refer to Fig. 6-10 and 6-11)  Fig. 6-10 Location of ACE Head Adjustment Screw  Fig. 6-11 ACE Head Height Adjustmentb. ACE HEAD TILT ADJUSTMENT
1) Playback a blank tape and observe the position of the tape at the lower flange of tape guide. 2) Confirm that there is no curl or wrinkle at the lower flange of tape guide as shown in Fig. 6-12 (B). 3) If a curl or wrinkle of the tape occurs, slightly turn the screw (A) tilt adjust on the ACE head ass'y. 4) Reconfirm the ACE head height.  Fig. 6-12 Tape Guide Checkc. AUDIO AZIMUTH ADJUSTMENT
1) Load alignment tape (Mono scope) and playback the 6KHz signal. 2) Connect channel-1 scope probe to audio output. 3) Adjust screw (B) to achieve maximum audio level. (See Fig. 6-10)d. ACE HEAD POSITION (X-POINT) ADJUSTMENT
1) Playback the alignment tape (Color bar) 2) Intermittently short-circuit the two Test Points on VCR Main PCB. (See Fig. 6-2) 3) Press the "0, 5" remote control buttons, then adjustment is operates automatically. (See Fig. 6-1) 4) Connect the CH-1 probe to "Envelope" the CH-2 probe to "H'D switching pulse" and then trigger to CH-1. 5) Insert the (-) driver into the X-Point adjustment hole and adjust it so that envelope waveform is maximum.

(2) Linearity adjustment (Guide roller S, T adjustment)
1) Playback the Mono Scope alignment tape (SP mode). 2) Observe the video envelope signal on an oscilloscope (triggered by the video switching pulse). 3) Make sure the video envelope waveform (at its minimum) meets the specification shown in Fig. 6-14. If it does not, adjust as follows:Note:
a=Maximum output of the video RF envelope. b=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the entrance side. c=Minimum output of the video RF envelope at the center point. d=Maximum output of the video RF envelope at the exit side. 4) If the section A in Fig. 6-15 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller S up or down. 5) If the section B in Fig. 6-15 does not meet the specification, adjust the guide roller T up or down.  Fig. 6-14 Envelope Waveform Adjustment  Fig. 6-15 Adjustment Points 6) Play back the Mono Scope alignment tape (SP mode). 7) Connect an oscilloscope CH-1 to the "Envelope" and CH-2 to the "H'D SW Pulse" for triggering. 8) Turn the guide roller heads with a flat head (☐) driver to obtain a flat video RF envelope as shown in Fig. 6-16. flowchart

(3) Check Transitional Operation from RPS to Play
Check transition from RPS mode to play mode: Using a pre-recorded SP tape, make sure the entry side of envelope comes to an appropriate steady state within 3 seconds (as shown in Fig. 6-17). If the envelope waveform does not reach specified peak-to peak amplitude within 3 seconds, adjust as follows : 1) Make sure there is no gap between the supply roller lower flange and the tape. If there is a gap, adjust the supply guide roller again. 2) Change operation mode from the RPS to the play mode (again) and make sure the entry side of envelope rises within 3 second.  Fig. 6-17 Video Envelope Rising when Operation mode Changes from RPS to Play Mode(4) Envelope Check
1) Make recordings on T-120 (E-120) and T-160 (E-180) tape. Make sure the playback output envelope meets the specification as shown in Fig. 6-18. 2) Play back a self recorded tape (recording made on the unit using with T-120 (E-120). The video envelope should meet the specification as shown in Fig. 6-18. In SP mode, (A) should equal (B). If the head gap is wide, upper cylinder should be checked.  Fig. 6-18 Envelope Input and Output Level(5) Tape Wrinkle Check
1) Run the T-160 (E-180) tape in the playback, FPS, RPS and Pause modes and observe tape wrinkle at each guide. 2) If excessive tape wrinkle is observed, perform the following adjustments in Playback mode: ♦ Tape wrinkle at the guide roller S, T section : Linearity adjustment. ♦ Tape wrinkle at tape guide flange : ACE head assembly coarse adjustment.6-3-3 Reel Torque
1) The rotation of the capstan motor causes the holder clutch ass'y to rotate through the belt pulley. 2) The spring wrap PLAY/REV of holder clutch ass'y drives the disk reel S, T through gear idler by rotation of gear center ass'y. 3) Brake is operated by slider cam at FF/REW mode. 4) Transportation of accurate driving force is done by gears. (Gear Center Ass'y) Note: If the spec. does not meet the followings specifications, replace the holder clutch ass'y and then recheck.| MODE TORQUE g/cm GAUGE | ||
