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!

INSTALLATION
How to Install the Unit
1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly 2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly on the unit. 3. The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at least 28cm (11") and there should be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 50.8cm (20") from the back of the cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser. Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
Cooled air Fence Awning Heat radiation
76.2cm (30")~ 152.4cm (60")
About 12.7mm (1/2") Over 50.8cm (20")
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure. 4. Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 12.7cm (1/2")). This will force condensed water to flow to the outside. 5. Install the unit with the bottom about 76.2cm (30")~152.4cm (60") above the floor level.

NOTE: All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal. This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths from 55.88cm (22") to 91.44cm (36").
