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.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. 1. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. 2. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. The grill pan handle should be in place when grilling. 2. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. 3. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn to attend food during cooking. If your model is fitted with telescopic runners in position 3, the grill pan can be withdrawn on the shelf. Do not attempt to close the door if the telescopic shelf supports are not completely inside the grill. This could damage the door glass and handle. 1.

HINTS AND TIPS
l Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the trivet or grill pan base if preferred.
l Use the trivet to keep fat splashing to a
minimum when grilling meat items.
l Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.
l Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.
l Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.
l When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.
