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.
I am happy to get a rare TECHNICS SH-9090 Owner's Manual by PDF in clear copy.

12. How to open the door during the cycle of a programme
You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to Pause, provided the following conditions exist: � the washing machine is not in the heating phase beyond 55°C; � the level of the water is not high; If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the door can be opened. Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the �On/Off� button. After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door. Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine! When you close the door and press the �On/Off� button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.
� Drain and Spin: press FABRIC button in order to select the the previously selected programme (the type of fabric just washed) and press the �Skip Reset� button until the only led �Spin� illuminates. You can change the spin speed by means of �Spin� button if needed, then depress �Start/Pause� button. When the programme has been completed, an audible signal is given. Press the Skip Reset button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing machine on, you will hear an audible signal. Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new programme. Press the �On/Off� button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out. Remove the laundry from the washing machine. Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry. We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket. Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.
13. End of programme
At the end of the programme, the washing machine stops automatically, gives an audible signal, the �Start/Pause� button light goes off and the �End� light illuminates. If you have selected the �Rinse Hold� option, the door is locked, the Start/Pause button light goes off, the �End� pilot light illuminates and the Rinse Hold pilot light remains lit to indicate that the water must be drained. To complete the cycle, press �Skip Reset� button once, all the leds are off, then choose one of the following options: � Drain only: press FABRIC button in order to select the desired programme and press the �Skip Reset� button until the only led �Drain� illuminates. Depress �Start/Pause� button
