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.

16. Aligning the lamp in the optical path
Aligning the lamp in the optical path is necessary to compensate for the mechanical differences amongst lamps. Since at least part of the process of manufacturing discharge lamps is manual in nature, the position of the arc may vary slightly from lamp to lamp. The alignment process will allow for the maximum output of the lamp to be achieved.
Alignment procedure
Alignment is effected via the three adjusters A , B and C operating in conjunction. Use a Philips head screwdriver for this procedure. The three screws are located on the rear of the projector head. The adjusters act on a lever and spring assembly which position the lamp horizontally and vertically in the reflector. Rotating the screws will move the lamp within the reflector. Alignment should be effected whilst the lamp is on, the blackout fully open and no colour filters or gobos inserted. Rotate the screws until the optimum output is achieved, with both maximum output and the maximum uniformity across the beam. You should ensure that the lamp does not touch the reflector, as this could damage both components.
