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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is unplugged and the water tap turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance.
Bodywork
The outside or the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutral non-abrasive household detergent. Wipe with clean water and dry after cleaning. Important : do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products. It is advisable, from time to time, to carry out a complete cycle without a washing load, adding a decalcifying product.
The detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove. Exert a pressure on the brooches located on each side of the detergent dispenser and pull it up (fig. 1 and 2). Clean the detergent dispenser under running water with a brush or a piece of rag (fig. 3). Check that the siphons located at the back of the detergent dispenser are not obstructed (fig. 4). Replace the detergent dispenser in the notches until the hanging (fig. 5).

The drain filter
The machine has got a mecanic filter located on the front part to collect lint and small objects (toothpins, coins, pins, etc.) inadvertently left in the clothes. It is essential that the filter is cleaned regularly. Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of articles washed (cleaning should be more frequent if the articles have no hem and tend to fray). - Open the flapdoor (fig. 6). - To drain the residual water : Place below a container not very high up with straight edges. To complete the draining, turn the cap of the drain filter until its vertical position and the residual water will be released (fig. 7). - To clean the filter : Turn the filter anticlockwise and get it away (fig. 8). Clean it with current water. Replace the filter and screw down it clockwise. Then, close the flapdoor.
