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.
SERVICE NOTE
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
dures other than those specified herein may result in haz-
ardous radiation exposure.
Notes on Chip Component Replacement
· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
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, ob-
serve from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
NOTES ON PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD
The pick-up flexible board in this set is secured to the optical pick-
up with an adhesive tape. Once the tape is removed, an adhering
force becomes weak, and it cannot be reused.
Therefore, if the optical pick-up is replaced, replace also the pick-
up flexible board with a new one.

NOTE FOR REPLACEMENT OF COMPLETE MAIN BOARD
The complete MAIN board (CDX-C4850R: A-3294-583-A, CDX-
C4840R: A-3294-587-A) of this set can be set to address the speci-
fication for each destination by shorting or opening one solder
bridge of the MAIN board on the AEP and UK models and German
models :
AEP and UK models : short
German model
: open
The solder bridge below shold be opened when replacing the com-
plete MAIN board on the German model.
