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.

THE GRILL
USES OF THE GRILL
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
SELECTING THE GRILL
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
l l l
To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the grill control in either direction. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. Setting 5 represents the grill on Full. At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button. Ensure the handle is positively located.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING. Closing the grill door will cut OFF the power to the grill element preventing incorrect use. The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the grill compartment. Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself. When removing the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket. Ensure your hand is protected when removing the grill pan handle as the grill element can become very hot. ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE DURING GRILLING.
