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.

THE HOB LID In order to make the appliance match with the kitchen design, a lid can be fitted on the hob. l The lid (not provided) is meant to avoid dust to settle on the hob, when it is closed, and to collect splashes of oil or fat, when it is open. Do not use it for any other purpose. l Always wipe off any splash of liquid before opening the lid. l Always clean the lid from cooking residues before opening it or taking it off. l WARNING! The crystal lid can splinter when overheated. Always ensure all the burners are off before closing it.
2. Cleaning and Maintenance
� Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.
GENERAL CLEANING Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food. If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products. Never use steel wool pads or acids. AUTOMATIC IGNITION The automatic ignition of the gas burners is obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed. PAN SUPPORTS The hobs are provided with enamelled pan supports (thin and light - fig.2).To keep the pan supports in the right position, they are hooked to a couple of special hinges in the back of the hob. Thanks to these hooks, you can lift the pan supports for easier cleaning (fig. 2). To take the pan supports completely off the hob, proceed as shown in fig. 3. The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
