This is a great manual. It was easy to read and very accurate. The size of the manual is small so email is no problem. I highly recommend it. The manual is very hard to find other than this website.
Whilst this is a photo copy, and some of the pages are a little askew, it was all readable and intact. A real bonus finding an old manual for a classic piece of kit that no other site had.
Great stuff.
It was easy done, and I got exactly what I was looking for.

The flexible cable of the optical pickup unit which was supplied as a component is equipped with a short clip to prevent the laser diode from being damaged due to electrostatic discharge. Remove the short clip before connecting the flexible cableand make sure that the short land is open. (If the flexible cable is short-circuited, remove the solder.)
