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!
Scan quality is very good. Price is very reasonable. If you're looking to purchase a copy of this manual, this is the one to get.

MDT Tutorial
A four unit change in the input gives a one unit change on the output. 1 4
MDT should now be adjusted to a 4 to 1 compression ratio from the last section. If it isn�t, please do this now. 1. Select the �pluck� sound�le for playback. 2. Reduce the Gain setting to 14. 3. Start playback with looping. 4. Use the Bypass button to compare the original with the compressed signal. Deactivate Bypass when you�re done. The region, �Pluck�, is a loud violin section pizzicato with a reverb tail. Notice how the compression exaggerates the reverb and the noise in the sample. Notice the �shape� of the reverb tail and its decay time. Also notice the body of the attack portion of the sample. 5. Reduce the Attack time to 0 mS. The initial attack is now compressed. MDT reacts immediately to change the gain so that the attack is output at a much lower level. 6. Press on the right arrow of the Attack slider. Notice the change in the body of the sound as the Attack time increases. At 50 mS, the attack is much louder than the sustained portion of the �Pluck�. Changing the Attack time lets you tailor the aggressiveness of the attack to your needs. 7. Return the Attack setting to 20 mS.
