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!

Using the Appliance
Before Use
Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.
F To Start the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation. 2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply. 3. Slide the 'fast freeze' switch to the right (yellow indicator light will illuminate) and leave to run for 4 hours to allow the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside. 4. The red indicator light will also illuminate until the correct temperature is reached. 5. Slide the 'fast freeze' switch back to the left.
Thermostat Control
0 = Off
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated on the control panel. Turning the thermostat clockwise makes the temperature progressively colder.
Freezing Fresh Food
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible.
F
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
1. Slide the fast freeze switch (d) to the right 6-24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer, the yellow light will illuminate. The compressor will now run continuously, to ensure that the fresh food is frozen as quickly as possible. 2. Place the food in the freezing compartment and leave the 'fast freeze' switch on for a further 24 hours.
