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.

Troubleshooting
You can solve many common air conditioner problems easily, saving you the cost of a service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve your problem without outside help.
Air conditioner will not operate.
Check if ... The power supply cord is unplugged. A household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. The FAN CONTROL is turned to the off position. The local power has failed. Then ... Firmly plug the power supply cord into a live outlet with proper voltage. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Make sure the air conditioner is plugged into a properly grounded outlet as described in the Installation Instructions. Turn the FAN CONTROL to an active setting.
Wait for power to be restored.
Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers.
Check if ... Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit. Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity is being used. An extension cord is being used. You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after turning FAN CONTROL off. Then ... Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.
Replace with a 15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the correct capacity. See �Electrical requirements� in the Installation Instructions for the correct capacity.
Do not use an extension cord with this or any other appliance. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning FAN CONTROL off before trying to restart the air conditioner.
Air conditioner seems to run too much.
Check if ... The current air conditioner replaced an older model. Then ... The use of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit the �blast� of cold air you may be accustomed to from older units, but this IS NOT an indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in BTUs/hr.) marked on the air conditioner. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A higher capacity air conditioner may be required depending on the size of the room being cooled.
The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room or heatproducing appliances are in use in the room.
