Memory structure of this model consists of the followings.
1 Set memory
2 Status memory
3 Picture memory
4 Chroma memory
5 W/B memory
6 Channel memory
* The gamma memory is realized by giving offset to the Contrast and Brightness output values to the
devices in the gamma mode function.
Flow of data is described briefly. When the power plug is connected to the wall outlet for the first time
(Standby state), all data that are stored in the internal ROM are written in the NVM (non-volatile memo-
ry). When the POWER is turned ON, all the status memory data and other memory data that are required
for the present picture are selected from each memory block and expanded in the internal RAM.
When any adjustment is performed at this moment, the adjustment data (user mode items) are written in
the NVM (Service/Special Service) automatically triggered by the memory operation.
The adjustment items (W/B, Device Adjust) that can be adjusted in the Service Mode or in the Special
Service Mode, are memorized in the NVM at the time when the user performs adjustment and performs
the memory operation. Note that the factory adjustment data will be lost at this moment.

1. Safety Related Components Warning
w
Components marked ! are critical to safe operation.
Therefore, specified parts should be used in the case of
replacement.

2. Standardization of Parts
Some repair parts supplied by Sony differ from those
used for the unit. These are because of parts common-
ality and improvement.
Parts List has the present standardized repair parts.
3. Stock of Parts
Parts marked with o at SP (Supply Code) column of
the Spare Parts list may not be stocked. Therefore, the
delivery date will be delayed.
Items with no part number and no description are not
stocked because they are seldom required for routine
service.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem,
perform the following safety checks before
releasing the set to the customer :
Check the 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 3.5 mA. 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 5.25 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 20 V AC range
are suitable. (See Fig. A)
