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.
Hr, klasse , good manual, verry fast on my e-mail, very usefull manual. rgds; ahm zeegers

Spray arm (1)
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear. A clogged hole can seriously affect washing ef�ciency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut anticlockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants.
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme. 4. Close the lid and press until it locks again. Do not �ll the rinse aid dispenser with liquid detergent.
Coarse �lter/micro�lter (2)
The purpose of the coarse �lter is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the �lter is always clean. Turn the coarse �lter anticlockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary.
Water softener (6)
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard water, therefore shall the rinse aid dispenser be set for a low dosage. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher. To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special container where the hardness is removed. Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt, you will have to re�ll the salt container after a certain number of dishwashing cycles. It is important to �ll the compartment with coarse dishwasher salt before using the machine for the �rst time, if you live in an area where the water is calciferous. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the container requires re�lling. 1. Unscrew the �ller cap to the salt container anticlockwise. 2. Fill the salt container with water (only the �rst time). 3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the funnel supplied. 4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage around the �ller opening. 5. Screw the �ller cap back properly in place. The water softener is now ready for the �rst load of dishes. Always make sure that there is coarse grained salt in the container, which holds about 1 litre. How to adjust the water softener, see chapter �Adjusting the water softener�. Use only special salt for dishwashing machines, ordinary domestic salt can damage the water softener.
Fine �lter (3)
It is just as important to keep this �lter clean. A dirty or clogged �lter will always impair washing ef�ciency. The �ne �lter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse �lter.
Detergent dispenser (4)
Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the detergent packet, �ll the compartment accordingly and close the lid. Remember that the instructions usually refer to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent tablets, it is suf�cient to use just half a tablet. Pre-wash detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the left when needed. This detergent is active allready at prerinsing. Make sure that there is no items that prevents the lid from opening. Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. Avoid frequent use of liquid detergents, as the long term effects of such detergents create a potential risk of increasing pump noise.
Rinse aid dispenser (5)
Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of the load, since it helps water and soil to run off. Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml. This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness of the water. You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, equivalent to 1 - 6 ml rinse aid. Factory setting is 1. Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g. the handle of a spoon. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the dispenser requires re�lling. 1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment and lift the lid. 2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not over�ll.
