Having bought a pre-owned Sony FM stereo tuner through eBay, it came without any manuals. It soon became clear that to get the best from this excellent tuner I needed a decent manual because much of the operation was not intuitive to a newboy to hi fi like me. I managed to download the official Sony multi-lingual manual from Owner-Manuals.com with no problem at all - a really quick and easy service. I'm very glad I did because I found out all the operations of the tuner and was then able to not only set it up quickly but also to get much more from it that poke-and-hope trialling would ever achieve. In my book $4.99 very well spent.
This manual is immaculate in it's accuracy. Everything is written very clearly and easy to understand. Written by a professional who wants to convey a clear and easy to understand message!!
Great site, I always find all the manuals I need and i can't find anywhere else. PDF for the Sony PCM 3348 is complete and scan is good quality. Thank you!
Text excerpt from page 33 (click to view)
V-Accordion r If the battery fails to last 8 hours (or slightly less)
The button now lights red. (14) Wait until the [EXTERNALÂ¥BATTERYÂ¥CHARGER] button lights green, then switch off the FBC-7 and disconnect the cable from the socket on the FBC-7 and from the battery. You can leave the battery where it is until you actually need it.
Note: You can use the FR-7/FR-5 while the battery is being recharged externally.
If the battery fails to last 8 hours (or slightly less)
The FR-7�s battery (and an optional battery for the FR-5) can be recharged about 300 times before it needs to be replaced with a new one. Note that it is normal for the battery to last increasingly shorter as time goes by. At the end of its life cycle, it may only last one hour, for example. But that is a gradual process.
Note: If the red indicator goes off while the battery is being recharged, this means that there has been a power failure and that the battery has probably only been partially recharged. In that case, you need to recharge it again.
(15) Reinstall the cover on the EXTERNAL BATTERY RECHARGER compartment and slide it to the left until it clicks into place. sUsing the recharged battery (16) Switch off the FR-7 (or FR-5). (17) Prepare a coin. (18) Remove the cushion located between the Treble keyboard and the bellows.
(19) Use the coin to loosen the two screws of the compartment cover.
Note: While the compartment cover is open, the FR-7/FR-5 cannot be switched on.
(20) Remove the depleted battery and disconnect its cable. (21) Connect the cable to the new battery and insert the charged battery into the FR-7/FR-5�s compartment. (22) Close the FR-7/FR-5�s battery compartment and re-install the cushion.
Note: Be sure to tighten the two screws all the way to establish firm contact between the compartment cover and the instrument. Otherwise, you won�t be able to use your FR-7/ FR-5.
