Thanks so much for the Owner's manual for my Sony PS - FL1. I had purchased the turntable off of eBay. It came in and looked great. Packed well and appeared to be great. I balanced and aligned the tone are and hooked it up. When trying to play a record the tone are would move to the right place and just before it would drop to play it moved back off the edge of the record before touching down. I searched the net for an answer to this issue. No luck. Then I purchased the owners manual and sure enough there was a place to adjust where the stylus touched down. That adjustment solved the problem and saved me a $35 feet to have the player checked out. The manual is well written and easy to understand. It is a must have for anyone with this front loading Sony turntable.
Some years back I pruchased a Sansui G-9000. I had it cleaned up and a problem with the left channel repaired. When I got it back I hooked it up to my tape decks, turn tables, TV and it played great. The only thing I was not really satisfied with was the performance of my Graphic Equalizer. I purchased this owner's manual had poured myself a cup of coffee. The manual is well organized and written in plain language. It also contained the solution to my dissatisfaction. By using the preamp connections coupled I was able to run everything through my graphic equalizer and now enjoy the full potential of my complete system.
An excellent service for the price, however, it would also have been handy if the troubleshooter pages were included. The manual is only sent in the language of your country, thus it looks as though there are some pages missing. Otherwise highly recommended.
I am happy to get a rare TECHNICS SH-9090 Owner's Manual by PDF in clear copy.

USING THE GENIUS REMOTE TO CONTROL VCR FUNCTIONS
� To operate your VCR, point the Genius remote at the remote sensor of the VCR. The Genius remote is designed to operate different types of VCR's. You must first program the Genius remote to match the remote system of your VCR. (Refer to Table 1 on page 42 or Table 3 on page 43). (1) Turn ON your VCR. (2) Set the Multi-Page select switch on the Genius remote to VCR. (3) AIM the Genius remote at the front of your VCR. (4) While holding down the SELECT button, press the button that matches your VCR as shown on page 42 or 43. The channels on the VCR will begin changing after 5 seconds when the correct button is pressed. When this happens the Genius Remote control is programmed for your VCR. If the VCR channels do not change after 5 seconds, try a different Genius Remote button. (5) Release both buttons when the VCR starts to change channels. The precoded VCR buttons will now control your VCR.
Notes: � If your VCR cannot be operated after performing the above procedures, the codes have not been precoded into the Genius remote control and it will not be able to operate your VCR. � You will only have to program your remote control to match your VCR once. The remote will remember the codes until you replace the batteries. � Whenever you install or replace batteries in the Genius remote, you must reprogram the Genius remote to match the remote system of your VCR. � When operating your TV or a cable box, remember to set the Multi-Page select switch to the proper position. � Refer to the instruction manual for the VCR to operate buttons exclusively for the VCR. � Be sure to keep the original remote control for the VCR even if you use the Hitachi Genius remote to control your VCR.
