    Does anyone know what the destination abbreviations mean in Sony service manuals. For example I often see AEP, PX, E, US, Canadian, UK, etc. I guess E would be European, US would be United States, Canadian would be Canadian but I have no idea about AEP or PX. Anyone knows ?

    BTW, I think that Sony Assist has hundreds of manuals/updates each month so posting one new Sony manual somewhere is a drop in the ocean. For example a month or two worth of updates:

    Service Manual updates   (2510 new manuals)   
    Technical Bulletin updates   (28693 new bulletins)

    And I believe Sony Assist is for Europe. Now add those from Sony ESI and your jaw drops.

    Do you actually have a subscription to Sony Assist?  The subscription that I have been using (not mine) expires in only 6 days!

    I do.

    I would still like some help with the manual abbreviations. I think I was wrong about the E meaning Europe. Seems like E means EXPORT and AEP relates to Europe. I would still like to know for sure, and also about PX, etc.

    Sony Assist manuals are encrypted (protected with the user/open password) which means you cannot open them with Adobe Acrobat Reader outside Sony Assist engine in your browser. Leaving details of alternate techniques aside, I am wondering if anyone has been able to figure out the password for those files ?

    There is no password available, you are able to save them locally as a true PDF if you have a PDF writer set up as a printer. Once printed using this you can open them like any other PDF document.

    I have never seen an index to the destination abbreviations.  However, I have always looked at the Power Requirements for a clue.  The STR-DA6400ES service manual available on Sony Assist lists the destinations US, UK and AEP.  The first two are obvious, but what about AEP?  If I look at the power requirements, I find the following:

    120 V AC, 60 Hz (US model)
    230 V AC, 50/60 Hz (UK and AEP models)

    Based on the latter power requirements, I have always assumed that AEP means Asian, European, Pacific.

    Any comments Mr_Mod and babyaservice?

    Could i have that manual-could you upload it somewhere?

    I do like to hae manuals for the "throwaway" models.

    Sony probably doesn't disclose what "AEP" means.

    Can anyone upload some of the manuals that begin with "98895" or "98896"?
