damaged by heat.

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.

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.)

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.

The EEP ROM (IC403) contains all data by which the LCD screen is defined.
When the EEP ROM is replaced, the normal LCD screen will not appear.
It is then necessary to write the data into the EEP ROM.

Writing Method:
1. Turn on power to the connection box XA-122/124.
2. Press the  POWER  key on the set to turn on the set.

(Normal LCD screen doesn’t appear because there is no data in EEP ROM.)

3. Press the  RESET  key while pressing the  INPUT  and  VOL–  keys on the set.
4. Press the  VOL–  key on the remote controller for more than 2 seconds.
5. The EEP ROM data will be written and the normal test mode screen will appear.

After this, perform V COM voltage/position adjustment as well as VIDEO adjustment.

When the IC401 is replaced, the video system should be set again according to the destinations.

Setting Method:
1. Enter the test mode. (See page 9).
2. Select NTSC/PAL SELECT from the test mode menu.
3. Set the video system to the appropriate mode for each destination by using the   

R

   and  

 

r

   keys on the remote controller.
