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.

Operation
Before Use
Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Starting the Appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. When the appliance is connected to the power supply the green indicator light will illuminate.
Green Indicator Light
The green light remains illuminated to indicate that the internal temperature of the appliance is correct for safe storage of frozen food. If the temperature is too high in the appliance the light will go out. The light may go out for the following reasons: There is a power failure The lid has been recently opened A large quantity of food has been added to the appliance There is a fault
Temperature Control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated on the lower front of the cabinet. To operate the freezer, proceed as follows: When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a medium setting by using a coin that fits the groove. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top middle package in the freezer. This should not have a temperature warmer than -18°C. Min = Lowest setting, minimum cold Max = Highest setting, maximum cold Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside. Do not fill the freezer to more than 5mm below the top edge.
Opening/Closing the Lid
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture entering the freezer, which could increase the amount of frost formed. When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands. When the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately. This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid again immediately. This is quite normal. Wait for a few minutes until the vacuum has equalised and then open gently. Never use excessive force on the handle.
