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.

3.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water and detergent consumption, therefore reduce the doses recommended by detergent manufacturers. Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash compartment and into the prewash compartment if you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener into the compartment if you wish. If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the «detergents and additives» section in the washing guide.

This option delays start of the programme. Select the number of hours after which you want the programme to begin by pressing on the pushbutton one or several times.

This option adds two rinses on Cotton, Synthetics and Delicates programmes. It is advised for allergic people to detergent products and in areas with fresh water.

The programmes table will tell you which is the appropriate programme for your washing type (see § 4). Put the programme selector onto the required programme ; the lights corresponding to the phases making up the programme will light up.

If you select this function, the wash time is reduced depending on which program you chose.
3.5.4. «Rinse hold» pushbutton
If you use this pushbutton, the tub remains full of water at the end of the last rinse to prevent the washing from becoming creased if it is not taken out of the drum as soon as the washing machine is stopped.

After you chose the washing programme, press the Start/Pause pushbutton to start the cycle. The corresponding light stays on. It is normal that the programme selector does not turn during the cycle.
