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!

Quick Guide (Trying Out the Unit)
Group Bank number
To switch the patch within the same bank, press one of the foot switches 1 - 4 whose LED is not lit. * If you press the foot switch whose LED is lit, the GFX- 8
goes into the bypass condition.
To switch to a patch from another bank number or group, use the BANK UP/DOWN foot switches and the foot switches 1 - 4 to select the bank number and group. � For details on patch/bank/group switching, refer to p. 10.
To alter the effect with RTM
RTM (real-time modulation) refers to changing an effect with the expression pedal in real time. Rock the expression pedal back and forth. Push the expression pedal fully down.
Move back and forth The effect changes as the expression pedal is moved. The parameter that is controlled can be programmed for each patch. Try out this function to see which parameter changes for the stored patches.
Push fully down The expression pedal incorporates a switch that operates when the pedal is pushed firmly down. The switch turns the module for which RTM control is possible on and off.
� For information on effects that allow RTM control, see p. 30. � For more information on the use of the expression pedal, see p. 41.
