Servicing Notes - Sony CFD-G555CP Service Manual

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety check 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 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
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 2 V AC range are suitable. (See

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
breakdown because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use
the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair
parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on
the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-
up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
CHUCK PLATE JIG ON REPAIRING
On repairing CD section, playing a disc without the CD lid, use
Chuck Plate Jig.
• Code number of Chuck Plate Jig : X-4918-255-1
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
1. Turn ON the [OPERATE] button and press [CD] button to CD
position.
2. Open the CD lid.
3. Turn on S801 with screwdriver, etc. as following figure.
4. Press the u (CD) button.
5. Confirm the laser diode emission while observing the objecting
lens. When there is no emission, Auto Power Control circuit
or Optical Pick-up is broken.
Objective lens moves up and down three times for focus search.
