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!

Gain Controls
Turn the GAIN controls clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain. The GAIN controls are marked in dB of attenuation. There are 21 detents for repeatable adjustments. The upper 14 steps are about 1 dB each, and settings should normally be made within this range. The range below 14 dB should not be used for normal program levels, as the input headroom could be exceeded, but can be used for testing at reduced levels. At the minimum setting, the signal is completely cut off. Note! The GAIN controls do not adjust the power of the amplifier. They adjust its sensitivity to input signals.

Power Switch
Push in on the top of the rocker switch to apply AC mains power to the amplifier. Push in on the bottom of the rocker switch to turn the amplifier off. When turned on, the blue PWR indicator LED and the red CLIP indicator LED will illuminate; after a few seconds the red CLIP indicator will extinguish.
