3-866-140-11(1) Video Cassette Recorder ©1999 by Sony Corporation SLV-M91HF Hookup/Setup 2 Precautions Safety • Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz. • If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord. • One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your Sony dealer. Installing • Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup. • Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots. • Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock. • Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only. • Keep the unit and cassettes away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large loudspeakers. • Do not place heavy objects on the unit. • If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the VCR and cause damage to the video head and tape. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about three hours before operating the unit. 3 * VCR Plus+, C 3 , ALLSET and PlusCode are trademarks of Gemstar Development Corporation.

FCC ID : AK8SLVM91HF Circuit description for SLV-M91HF (1/2) TV Recording ; UHF/VHF signal from the antenna is fed to BTF- MA431 (Antenna SW/••••RF modulator/TUNER) on MA- 360 board, and converted to VIF and SIF , then detected to video and audio signals in BTF-MA431. The video signal is processed in IC201 on MA-360 board , and amplified in IC260 on MA-360 board , then fed to rotary-video head for recording. The audio signal , on the other hand , is processed in IC360 on MA-360 board , and amplified in IC360 on MA-360 board , then fed to rotary-audio head for recording. Video / Audio Signal Recording ; The video signal supplied to the video-in terminal is fed to IC201 on MA-360 board for signal processing and recording. The audio signal supplied to the audio-in terminal is fed to IC360 on MA-360 board for signal processing and recording. Playback ; The recording signal picked by the rotary-video head is amplified in IC260 on MA-360 board and processed in IC201 on MA-360 board , then fed to video-out terminal for monitor and BTF-MA431 for modulation. The recorded signal picked by the rotary-audio head is amplified in IC360 on MA-360 board and processed in IC360 on MA-360 board , then fed to audio-out terminal for monitor and BTF-MA431 for modulation. The audio and video signals are modulated by BTF- MA431 then fed to UHF/VHF-out terminal. FCC ID : AK8SLVM91HF Circuit description for SLV-M91HF (2/2) Power Supply and Motor Control ; The +B line voltage are produced by the power section employing isolation transformer. Motors are controlled by the system control section consisting of IC101, IC161, etc. on MA-360 board. Smart File ; The circuits of Smart File are on ML-18 board. All processes of Smart File are controlled by IC003. Smart File data is encoded by IC002. Carrier frequency is 13.56MHz that oscillated by IC002. The encoded data is modulated by IC002, then modulated carrier is transmitted from Smart File antenna. The VCR has two antennas. One antenna (large antenna) works against the Smart File label of outside cassette, and the other (small antenna) works against inside cassette. These antenna do not work at the same time. The small antenna works only in a moment when the cassette is put in or put out the VCR, and the large antenna works the other time. The Smart File label is passive, it does not have a battery. It get power by rectifying the receiving carrier, and it write the data to memory. The VCR get the data from Smart File label by changing amplitude caused by changing impedance of Smart File label. The data is detected by IC001, and decoded by IC002. The micro-processor read the decoded data, and display the information of cassette.

Date of Measurement : March 30, 1999(Completed) Total Pages of This Report : 27 (including this page) I certify that I am authorized to sign for the report and that all the statement in this report and in the exhibits hereto are true and correct to the best my knowledge and belief. Shigeru Osawa, Assistant Manager Testing Div. EMC Engineering Dept. FCC ID : AK8SLVM91HF JQA APPLICATION NO.: 80-80963 Sheet 2 of 27 sheets 1. Transmitter Fundamental and Spurious Emission: [§15.225 & §15.209] Measurement Method Employed: Measurements were made under the conditions specified ANSI C63.4. The transmitter under test was operated continuously in its normal operating mode for the purpose of the measurements. In order to secure the continuous operation of the EUT, rewiring in the circuit was done by the manufacturer so as to affect its intended operation. The receiving loop antenna was positioned with its plane vertical at 30 meters from the EUT and rotated about its vertical axis for maximum response at each azimuth about the EUT. The center of the loop antenna was 1 meter above ground. The wooden turntable was rotated 360 degrees to obtain the highest reading on the field strength meter or on the display of the spectrum analyzer. The results were shown the maximum value. Measurement Results: - Internal Large Antenna - Operating Frequency : 13.56 MHz Distance of Measurement : 30 meters Frequency Field Strength (MHz) (dB/mV/m) Fundamental 13.56 < 27.0 Harmonic Frequency 27.12 < 27.0 - Internal Small Antenna - Operating Frequency : 13.56 MHz Distance of Measurement : 30 meters Frequency Field Strength (MHz) (dB/mV/m) Fundamental 13.56 < 27.0 Harmonic Frequency 27.12 < 27.0 FCC ID : AK8SLVM91HF JQA APPLICATION NO.: 80-80963 Sheet 3 of 27 sheets The distance of measurements was reduced to 10 meters. - Internal Large Antenna - Operating Frequency : 13.56 MHz Distance of Measurement : 10 meters Frequency Field Strength (MHz) (dB/mV/m) Fundamental 13.56 38.7 Harmonic Frequency 27.12 < 27.0 - Internal Small Antenna - Operating Frequency : 13.56 MHz Distance of Measurement : 10 meters Frequency Field Strength (MHz) (dB/mV/m) Fundamental 13.56 < 27.0 Harmonic Frequency 27.12 < 27.0 Note: 1. Meter reading value shows field strength, because the value includes antenna factor. 2. The symbol of “<” means “or less”. 3. Measuring Instrument Setting: Detector Function : CISPR Quasi-peak Peak IF Band width : 9 kHz For fundamental, the measured field strength was extrapolated to distance 30 meters, using the formula that field strength varies as the inverse distance square(40 dB per decade of distance). Calculation : 38.7 dB/mV/m – 20log 10 ((30/10) 2 ) = 38.7 – 19.1 = 19.6 dB/mV/m at 30 meters Limits for fundamental(§15.225(a)) = 20log 10 (10000) = 80 dB/mV/m FCC ID : AK8SLVM91HF JQA APPLICATION NO.: 80-80963 Sheet 4 of 27 sheets 2. Radiated Spurious Emission: [§15.209] Measurement Method Employed: Measurements were made under the conditions specified ANSI C63.4. The transmitter under test was operated continuously in its normal operating mode for the purpose of the measurements. In order to secure the continuous operation of the device under test, rewiring in the circuit was done by the manufacturer so as to affect its intended operation. The receiving antenna polarized horizontally was varied from 1 to 4 meters and the wooden turntable was rotated 360 degrees to obtain the highest reading on the field strength meter or on the display of the spectrum analyzer. These measurements were repeated with the receiving antenna polarized vertically.
