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 7 (click to view)
Setting the thermostat knob can be done practically with a coin. Turning the control knob clockwise cooling becomes more and more intensive. In the appliance -18 °C or lower temperature can be reached if the thermostat knob is set according to the figure. The thermostat can be switched off (�0� position), which means breaking the circuit of the compressor i.e. stopping cooling. The temperature coming about in the freezer is effected by not only the position of the thermostatic control and the ambient temperature, but frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it, etc. In maximum position of the thermostat - in case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance.
Freezing
Freezing different products should always be done in the freezing compartment after proper preparing. Move the fast freezer switch to the right (yellow lamp gives light) 4 hours before freezing food in small quantity and about 24 hours before in case of products in bigger quantity. This time the compressor operates continually to reach the temperature necessary for freezing. Place the foods to be frozen in and operate the appliance as written for about 24 hours. After these move the fast freezer switch to the left (yellow light will go out). The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Fruits should be put in the tray in thin layers without packaging. After freezing they can be packed and sorted out then placed into the storing compartments.
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartments (cages) after freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.
