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.

Grill shelf
The grill shelf can be slotted into place in either of two positions. You can use the shelf in position two or on the base of the grill compartment. You can only use these two shelf positions when you want to use the grill. For safety the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove the shelf completely pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in. You should use the shelf without the metal plate when grilling. Use shelf position two when toasting and adjust the height of the grid to suit. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards.
For your safety
Always remove the grill pan before attempting to adjust the shelf position. Oven gloves should be used when removing or pulling the shelf in and out. For hygiene and safety reasons this cooker should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
