Having purchased a 1994 Kenwood music system from a Charity shop in 2013 (it was a high end product in its day), I found myself not quite knowing where to plug in what, and how to do this, that and the next thing. I needed a Manual, and after failure with another online 'Manual provider' I found Owner Manuals dot com. Well, I wasn't sure, but it was only $5, and if things didn't work out, I wouldn't have lost much...
But things DID work out. After paying my childrens inheritance money, $4.99, I was sent a Manual for my Kenwood System very quickly. Alas, it was in German, and being Scottish, I could not read it or get my system in order from it...a rapid email to them brought the English Manual in short order, and my retro-system was and IS up and running in it's regulation settings.
I am very grateful to http://www.owner-manuals.com for their quick service and for even having such an obsolete Manual in the first place! If you need a Manual for ANYTHING, try here first. I wouldn't be surprised if I bought a 1928 Marconi radio, and got the user Manual for THAT here too!
Top marks.

I was so happy that the owner's manual was available. It is well written and helped me to use the radio/CD player/recorder without problems. Thanks for making it available.

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.

Allacciamento con tubo flessibile non metallico
Quando l'allacciamento è facilmente ispezionabile lungo tutto il percorso, è possibile usare un tubo flessibile conforme alla norma UNI-CIG 7140. � Per l'uso con gas metano o gas città : montate il portagomma tipo "A" indicato nella Fig. 23. � Per l'uso con gas liquido GPL : montate il portagomma tipo "B". In ogni caso, inserite la guarnizione "C" tra il portagomma e il tubo di alimentazione. Il tubo flessibile deve essere fissato solidamente ai portagomma mediante fascette di sicurezza conformi alla norma UNI-CIG 7141. Il tubo flessibile deve essere messo in opera nel rispetto delle seguenti condizioni: - il tubo non deve raggiungere in nessun punto una temperatura maggiore di 30 °C a quella ambiente; qualora il tubo flessibile, per raggiungere il rubinetto, debba passare dietro la cucina, deve essere disposto come da Fig. 24; - il tubo non deve essere più lungo di 1500 mm; - il tubo non deve presentare strozzature; - il tubo non deve essere soggetto ad alcun sforzo di trazione o torsione; - il tubo non deve venire a contatto con corpi taglienti o spigoli vivi; - il tubo deve essere facilmente ispezionabile allo scopo di poter controllare il suo stato di conservazione. La verifica dello stato di conservazione del tubo flessibile consiste nel controllare che: - non appaiano screpolature, tagli, tracce di bruciature sia alle estremità che lungo il percorso; il materiale non sia indurito ma mantenga la sua normale elasticità ; le fascette di serraggio non siano arrugginite; non siano superati i termini di scadenza (5 anni).
