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.

Cooking with microwaves differs in some aspects from normal cooking. The guidelines and tips below will help you get better results using a microwave oven.
Tips and guidelines
Wait time
Microwaves do not usually completely penetrate the food on the rotary plate. The wait times allow the food to continue cooking even after the oven has switched off. The temperature can rise by up to 8° C inside the food. After heating food in the microwave, let it stand in the oven for a short time to allow the temperature to equalise. The wait time depends on the weight, volume and density of the food (and can be up to 10 minutes).

How to cook food without overcooking (drying, charring etc.)

Select the right cooking level. Select the right cooking time. Times quoted in recipes are approximate and depend upon initial temperature, weight, density of food etc. Always use microwave-suitable dishes.
Defrosting
x x x x
Defrosting is faster in flatter dishes than in higher dishes. Divide large pieces of food into smaller pieces for faster defrosting. Cover the smaller pieces when they start to warm up. Do not defrost completely under power, let the food stand for a while.
Amount 3/4
To warm up more food you need more time. Rule of thumb: double the food, double the time (almost).
Initial temperature
The colder the food, the more time is needed.
Different foods
When cooking a meal with various ingredients remember that fat and sugar heat up faster than water. This means that ingredients with higher fat and sugar contents will have higher temperatures after cooking than those containing water. The more dense a food, the longer it takes to cook/defrost. Very dense foods, like meat, take much longer to warm up than say sponge cake.
