Having purchased a 1994 Kenwood music system from a Charity shop in 2013 (it was a high end product in its day), I found myself not quite knowing where to plug in what, and how to do this, that and the next thing. I needed a Manual, and after failure with another online 'Manual provider' I found Owner Manuals dot com. Well, I wasn't sure, but it was only $5, and if things didn't work out, I wouldn't have lost much...
But things DID work out. After paying my childrens inheritance money, $4.99, I was sent a Manual for my Kenwood System very quickly. Alas, it was in German, and being Scottish, I could not read it or get my system in order from it...a rapid email to them brought the English Manual in short order, and my retro-system was and IS up and running in it's regulation settings.
I am very grateful to http://www.owner-manuals.com for their quick service and for even having such an obsolete Manual in the first place! If you need a Manual for ANYTHING, try here first. I wouldn't be surprised if I bought a 1928 Marconi radio, and got the user Manual for THAT here too!
Top marks.

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance is predisposed to function with a 230V monophase voltage tension. Connection must be carried out in conformity with the regulations and dispositions of the laws in force. Before connecting ensure that: - The limiter valve and the electrical mains can support the voltage of the appliance (see registration plate). - The power supply is correctly earthed according to the regulations in force. - The plug or omnipolar interrupter used can be easily reached once the appliance has been installed. Fit the cable with a plug suitable to the voltage and connect to an appropriate security socket. If a direct connection to the mains is required, an omnipolar interrupter with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts, dimensioned to the voltage and corresponding to the regulations in force, should be interposed between the appliance and the supply. The yellow/green earth cable must not be interrupted by the interrupter. The brown coloured phase cable (situated at terminal �L� of the terminal box) must always be connected to the network phase. The voltage cable must always be positioned in such a manner that it at no point reaches a temperature of 50�C above room temperature. An example of the best routing is shown in fig. 3. The cable is guided by use of clamps fixed laterally to the unit in such a way as to avoid any contact with the appliance under the hob.

In case of substitution of the voltage cable use cable type H05 RRF having a section suited to the charge, it is furthermore necessary that the yellow/green earth wire be approximately 2cm longer than the phase and neutral wires (Fig. 4). After connection try out the heating elements allowing them to function for approximately 3 minutes.
