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.

Paper Jams or Does Not Feed
I Paper Skewing During Feeding
The paper or other media does not feed straight into the paper feed slot. CHECK 1 IS THE AUTO SHEET FEEDER OVERLOADED? The number of sheets you can load in the auto sheet feeder depends on the media you are using. The media does not feed correctly if you exceed the prescribed number of sheets. CHECK 2 IS THE PAPER FOLDED OR CURLED? To avoid misfeeds and paper jams, do not load paper in the auto sheet feeder that is folded, curled, or wrinkled. Notes on Handling Print Media CHECK 3 IS THE PAPER GUIDE SET CORRECTLY? If the paper guide on the auto sheet feeder is not set correctly, the paper does not feed straight or may jam in the printer. The paper guide must be snug against the side of the stack and not too tight.
