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 TEMPERATURE button
Press this button if you wish to set a different temperature from that suggested by the machine for the type of wash selected (see programme chart): the corresponding pilot light comes on. The COLD position is for a wash with cold water.
6 OPTIONS button
This button can be used to select the following options: - PREWASH: the machine performs a prewash cycle at 40°C max. The prewash cycle ends with a short spin for the White cotton, Coloured cotton and Synthetic programmes, and with emptying of the water only for the Delicate programme. - QUICK WASH: by selecting this option the washing time is reduced. For use when washing lightly soiled laundry. This option is not available with the wool programme. - ECONOMY: this option is only available with the White cotton 95°C, Coloured cotton 60°C and Synthetic 60°C programmes: the 95°C wash is carried out at about 67°C, whilst the 60°C wash is carried out at about 45°C for cotton and 40°C for synthetics: the 60°C or 40°C pilot lights flash. The washing time is slightly longer to compensate for the reduction in temperature. For use when washing normally soiled laundry, in order to save energy. Important: the PREWASH, QUICK WASH and ECONOMY options cannot be selected together: one automatically disables the others.
5 SPIN SPEED button
Press this button to select the required spin speed, remembering that: - for cottons the maximum spin speed is 1200 rpm; - for synthetics and wool the maximum spin speed is 900 rpm; - for delicate fabrics the maximum spin speed is 700 rpm. When the RINSE HOLD option is selected, the last rinse water is not emptied out, so as to avoid creasing of the fabrics: the pilot light flashes at the end of the programme to indicate that the water must be emptied out. This can be done in three ways: - select a spin speed and press the START/PAUSE button - just press the START/PAUSE button; after emptying, the machine performs the spin cycle for the type of wash selected - select the DRAIN programme to empty out the water without spinning. The RINSE HOLD option can also be selected for the wool programme: the last rinse water is emptied out but the machine does not spin. If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties itself after 18 hours.
