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.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash the grille. Make sure the door is open when removing the ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and the accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, high perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol . Regulary check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Remove the ventilation grille (see the section "Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.
To Change the Light Bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the power plug from the outlet. To replace the lamp in the chiller compartment (only cabinets with two doors), first unscrew the lamp grille with a screwdriver. Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum rating of 25 W.
