Repair Notes

Even when the set is in standby there are two resistors that get quite hot to the touch (R613), and there is an electrolytic capacitor that is prone to failure due to being next to them, C607. When replacing C607, recommend leaving the capacitor with long legs extending it away from the board and leaning away from the heat of the adjacent resistors. Two different units of this model were found to have distorted low end sound, and one had a blown speaker. In the audio circuit, distortion first becomes evident between R424 and IF201. I did not determine which component was faulty, possibly the VIF IC, a Sony CXA1100BS. One unit also had corrosion on the bottom of the main board that was eating through traces by the front microswitches. (-E.K.)
