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!

Chapter 4: Factory presets.
The factory Presets in the Renaissance DeEsser give an example to the scope of usage and different modes that the Renaissance DeEsser offers to its user. The examples are showcased by 3 male DeEssing presets and 3 Female DeEssing presets. Each preset comes in 3 flavors: Wide � using WideBand compression mode. Recommended when the DeEsser is used standalone on a voice only source. Split � Using split mode to compress only the Hi Pass. This setting is good for general purpose and is better then WideBand when the DeEsser is used as part of a process chain. Narrow � Using Band Pass detection and compression. This setting is the most frequency specific. It is mostly recommended when the offending sound that you want to compress is very stable in pitch. Important note: 0 Threshold is not idle due to the adaptive threshold control. If you desire an idle setup, set the range control to 0. This insures that no attenuation is applied. RENAISSANCE DEESSER FULL RESET : The default preset of Renaissance DeEsser is a great general purpose DeEssing setting though it is rather gentle. For more intensive DeEssing lower the threshold and range to achieve the desired intensity.
