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.
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.

WHEN THE OVEN IS FIRST INSTALLED
Once the oven has been installed, it is important to remove the protective materials which were put on in the factory. Press button E for manual function. Switch the
The trivet
When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior. N.B. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.
oven control knob to fan ducted cooking and then set the thermostat control knob to MAX and leave it to run, empty, for 30 minutes to remove any unpleasant new smells. During this period, an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore, advisable to open a window for ventilation.
The cooling fan for the controls
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when the oven is in use, and switches off when cooking is completed. During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite normal. It may run on after the oven or grill is switched off to keep the controls cool. Always allow the cooling fan to cool the oven down before switching off the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work. NOTE The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the oven or grill has been used and at what temperature. It may not switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.
Rating Plate
The model number of your oven can be found on the rating plate on the lower front frame of the oven upon opening the door. The oven must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the oven is given on the rating plate.
About condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The oven is vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the oven. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Control panel indicator neon
This light indicates whether the oven or grill is switched ON. In the case of the oven, the neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached. It will cycle on, and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained. If the neon do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting. When the oven is set for automatic cooking the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.
Cookware
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base. Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips' in the appropriate oven section.
