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.

Cleaning the hinged grill
This model has been fitted with a hinged grill element to enable you to clean the roof of the oven easily. Before proceeding ensure the oven is cool and is disconnected from the electricity supply. 1) Undo the screws which holds the grill in place (see diagram). When doing this operation for the first time, we recommend using a screwdriver. 2) Then gently pull the grill downward to allow access to the oven roof (see diagram). 3) Clean the oven roof with a suitable cleaner and wipe dry before replacing the hinged grill element. 4) Gently push up the grill element into place and firmly screw into place the holding nuts. Ensure the grill holding nuts are firmly in place to avoid the grill falling down when in use.
Grease Filter
To prevent a build-up of fats on the fan impellor, the grease filter must be fitted by clipping it over the vents in the back panel.
To clean the grease filter
When the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward, and wash carefully. The grease filter should be cleaned after every use. The filter may be washed in a dishwasher on a 65°C wash. If the filter is heavily soiled, place the filter in a saucepan of water with approximately 1 teaspoon of automatic washing powder or dishwasher powder. Bring to the boil and leave to soak for approximately 30 minutes or longer depending on the degree of soiling. Ensure the solution does not boil over as it could mark your hob. Rinse filter in clean water and dry. Remember to refit the filter before using the oven again.
