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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
� Always �le cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce the pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on one side �rst, then turn the chain saw over and �le the teeth on the other side. � To adjust the raker clearance you will need a �at �le and a raker gauge.
� � File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is worn out and should be replaced. �
Place the gauge over the raker lip.
Place the �le over the part of the lip that protrudes through the gauge and �le off the excess. The clearance is correct when you no longer feel any resistance as you draw the �le over the gauge.
General advice on setting raker clearance
� When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting performance you must �le back the raker lip to the recommended height. See the Technical data section to �nd the raker clearance for your particular chain.
Tensioning the chain
!
� On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack. Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new chain has a running-in period during which you should check the tension more frequently.
�
We recommend that you use our raker gauge to achieve the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain saws varies from model to model. See the What is what? section to �nd out where it is on your model. Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
!
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased if the raker clearance is too large!
Setting the raker clearance
� � Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should be newly sharpened. We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance every third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively. Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain brake. Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the bar nuts by hand as tight as you can.
