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.

4. The water inlet hose filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.
6. Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: � disconnect the appliance; � close the water tap; � if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; � open the drainage area door; � place a bowl to collect the water that will flow out; � release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap; � when the water stops flowing out, put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose, replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: � pull out the plug from the power socket; � close the water tap; � if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; � open the drainage area door; � place a bowl to collect the water; � release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the bowl and remove its cap, when the bowl is full put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose; � empty the bowl, repeat the procedure until you have completely emptied the washing machine; � replace the emergency emptying hose in its initial position and close the drainage area door.
