CAUTION
Lead Free Soldered Boards
example 1
The circuit boards used in these models have been processed using Lead Free Solder. The boards are identified by the LF logo located close to the board designation e.g. F1, H1 etc [ see examples ]. The servicing of these boards requires special precautions to be taken as outlined below.
example 2
It is strongly recommended to use Lead Free Solder material in order to guarantee optimal quality of new solder joints. Lead Free Solder is available under the following part numbers :
Partnumber 7-640-005-19 7-640-005-20 7-640-005-21 7-640-005-22 7-640-005-23 7-640-005-24 7-640-005-25 7-640-005-26
Diameter 0.3mm 0.4mm 0.5mm 0.6mm 0.8mm 1.0mm 1.2mm 1.6mm
Remarks 0.25Kg 0.50Kg 0.50Kg 0.25Kg 1.00Kg 1.00Kg 1.00Kg 1.00Kg
Due to the higher melting point of Lead Free Solder the soldering iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees centigrade. This requires soldering equipment capable of accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat recovery characteristics. For more information on the use of Lead Free Solder, please refer to http://www.sony-training.com

WARNING (UK Models only)
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 5 AMP rating. Should the fuse need to be replaced, use a 5AMP FUSE approved by ASTA to BS 1362, ie one that carries the ASA mark. T
IF THE PLUG SUPPLIED WITH THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE OUTLET SOCKETS IN YOUR HOME, IT SHOULD BE CUT OFF AND AN APPROPRIATE PLUG FITTED. THE PLUG SEVERED FROM THE MAINS LEAD MUST BE DESTROYED AS A PLUG WITH BARED WIRES IS DANGEROUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET.
When an alternative type of plug is used, it should be fitted with a 5 AMP FUSE, otherwise the circuit should be protected by a 5AMP FUSE at the distribution board.
How to replace the fuse. Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver blade and replace the fuse.

SECTION 1 SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
LE-4B Self Diagnostic Software
LE-4B chassis TV's contain a self diagnosis function. In the event of an error occurring, the STANDBY LED indicator will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the STANDBY LED indicator flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur. 1. DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS When an error occurs, the STANDBY indicator will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the indicator will identify the first of the problem areas. The result for all of the following diagnosis items are displayed on screen. No error has occured if the screen displays a "0".
Error Message Lamp Cover Error Lamp Prot Fan Prot LED Code 02 03 04 Probable Cause Location - Lamp cover is not attached securely. - Lamp is not set securely. - Lamp for light source burns out. - Fan has no power. - Fan connector is not attached securely. - Set temperature is high - Temp sensor connector is not attached securely. - Speakers Protection error. - N board error. - Tuner error. - Sound procesor error. - Video procesor error. - Chroma decoder error. - AV switch error. - Real Time clock error. - Por t expander 1 error. - Por t expander 2 error. - NVM error. - I2C bus error. - No picture/No sound Symptom - No picture/No sound

Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord. Replace the lamp only after it becomes cool. The front glass of the lamp remains at least 100 °C (212 °F) even after the power has been turned off for 30 minutes. Do not place the old lamp in proximity to children or flammable material. Do not get the old lamp wet, or insert objects inside the lamp. It may cause the lamp to explode. Do not place the old lamp near easily flammable objects, as this may cause fire. Also, do not put your hand inside the lamp compartment, as you may be burned. Attach the new lamp securely. If it is not securely attached, the picture may become dark.
