VAROITUS

Paristo voi räjähtää, jos se on virheellisesti asennettu. Vaihda paristo ainoastaan laitevalmistajan suosittelemaan tyyppiin. Hävitä käytetty paristo valmistajan ohjeiden mukaisesti.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270°C during repairing.

Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit board (within 3 times).

Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or unsoldering.

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.

rUNLEADED SOLDER

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size.)

: LEAD FREE MARK

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.

Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than ordinary solder.

Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350°C.

Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

Strong viscosity

Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc.

Usable with ordinary solder

It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.

*Replacement of SN761058ZQL (IC501) and LC896442-VH4- 16-E (IC601) used in this set requires a special tool.

MZ-E10 specifications

The Sony MZ-E10, a compact MiniDisc player released during the height of the MiniDisc era, is renowned for its portability and impressive features tailored for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the MZ-E10 weighs just 130 grams and fits easily into pockets or bags, making it the ideal companion for music on the go.

One of the standout features of the Sony MZ-E10 is its ability to record audio digitally, allowing users to contribute their own music to the MiniDisc format. This recording feature utilizes Sony's advanced ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) algorithm, which compresses audio without a significant loss in quality. This means that listeners can enjoy high-quality sound while optimizing storage space on their MiniDiscs.

The MZ-E10 supports various playback modes, including standard play and shuffle, enhancing the listening experience. Moreover, it boasts an easy-to-read LCD display that shows track information, battery life, and various playback settings. The user interface is straightforward, featuring tactile buttons that facilitate navigating through menus and playlists.

Battery life is another key characteristic, as the MZ-E10 can offer extended playback times with just a single AA battery. This efficiency is perfect for users who may be traveling or away from power sources for extended periods. To further enhance its functionality, the player features a line-in recording capability, allowing connection to external devices for capturing audio, such as recordings from vinyl or cassettes.

In terms of design, the MZ-E10 exudes a sleek and modern aesthetic, with a durable casing designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. The player is equipped with a headphone jack that supports both standard and high-impedance headphones, catering to a variety of audio preferences.

Overall, the Sony MZ-E10 stands as a testament to innovative technology in portable music playback. With its combination of compact design, high-quality audio recording and playback, and user-friendly features, it secured its place in the hearts of many music enthusiasts during its time. While modern technology has shifted primarily towards digital streaming and solid-state formats, the MZ-E10 remains a cherished artifact for those who appreciate the unique qualities of the MiniDisc system.
