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.
Text excerpt from page 34 (click to view)
. While the programme is running (after you have pressed the START/PAUSE button), the displayed time value decreases by one unit every minute. � The washing machine has stopped with water in the tub, at the end of a programme with the RINSE HOLD (WET ANTI-ARRUGAS) option: this is indicated by a blinking zero and the door locked light is on (the door cannot be opened). � The washing machine has completed the programme: this is indicated by a blinking zero. At the same time, the door locked light goes out. The zero will reappear when you switch the washing machine on, unless the previous programme has been erased by means of the RESET (ANULAR) button. The incorrect selection is also indicated by an audible warning signal. � An alarm code indicates a fault in the machine operation (see the relevant chapter on page 45).
Important! The first time you use the washing machine, when you switch it on, it may display a blinking zero and give an audible warning signal. This is due to the fact that the washing machine has performed a washing cycle during the manufacturer�s inspection tests, and this cycle has not been erased after its completion. � Delay start (Inicio diferido), a time value indicated in hours and selected by means of the relevant button.
9 START/PAUSE button
This button has two functions:
(INICIO/PAUSA)
� Start: after you have selected the desired programme and options, press this button to start the washing machine. The light above the button will stop flashing and remain lit. If you have selected a delay time by means of button 11, the countdown will begin and will be shown on the display. � Pause: when you press this button again, the programme in progress is interrupted. The light above the button will start flashing. To restart the programme, press the button again. When you PAUSE the cycle, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out, and it becomes possible to open the door, provided: � the washing machine is not in the heating phase; � the level of the water is not high; � the drum is not turning.
The delay time is displayed for 3 seconds, then the duration of the selected programme reappears. After you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the countdown begins, and the delay time value decreases by one unit every hour. You can delay the start of the selected programme by up to 23 hours in one hour intervals and then, when 2 hours remain, the time decreases in 30 minutes intervals. � An incorrect option selection has been made: this is indicated by the message Err when a function incompatible with the current programme is selected.
Important! You must set the washing machine to PAUSE before you make any change in the programme in progress.
10 RESET (EXCLUIR FASE/ANULAR) button
At the end of a programme, you must press this button once or repeatedly, in order to clear the contents of the memory (the display will show three blinking dashes); otherwise, the next time you switch the washing machine on, the blinking zero will reappear and the audible warning signals relevant to the end of the previous cycle will be given. 34
