Reasons why you would want these Service Manuals:

1. The Sony D-515 Discman was the First PCDP to use Electronic Shock Protection.

1. It was the Top model for 1992 and last generation of the "Heavy Metal Square Form Factor" Discman

1. Legendary Gold Plated Line out

1. You have a Sony D-515 and want all the Service documentation!

1. You've never seen a technical Service Manual before and are curious

I had hoped I could use these Service Manuals to repair my Sony D-515, but I lack the resources (oscilloscope), time, workspace and most importantly, the technical skills. It was a real pain scanning in the 3 large fold out multi page schematic sheets and joining them in Photoshop. I found that reading and meditating on the complexity of it all was a fascinating overall experience... now I really appreciate the intricate fragility of these electronic PCDP's (and it quickens my pace in fleeing from the whole PCDP "scene"!) Anyway, I am sure that many people could use these Service Manuals and that the effort will help a few people out there!

I can only host these files till we move, then I have to change ISP and in so doing will no longer have the free web hosting space my ISP currently provides! Can someone else host these for long term Posterity? Let me know if you can

Great, glad to have helped a few people! I suspect many more downloaded them but were too shy to say thanks
