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.

USING THE SMARTSOUND� CONTROL
T
he SmartSound feature allows the listener to select between four different factory set sound options. Personal (which can be set by the user), Theater (for movie viewing), Music (for musical type programming) and Voice (when the program is mainly dialogue). To select any of the options follow the directions below.

SMART HELP
Remember, SmartSound works only with the programs coming through the 75 input jack on the rear of the TV (RF audio). It will not control the sound levels for the External connections.
Press the SMART SOUND button on the remote control. The current SmartSound setting will appear in the middle of the screen. Press the SMART SOUND button repeatedly to toggle between the four settings. Remember, only the PERSONAL control can be changed by the viewer. This changes the settings in the main onscreen menu's sound controls. All other settings are setup at the factory during the time of production. If settings are changed while using the Theater, Music or Voice selections, the changes you make will become the �new� Personal settings. The Theater, Music and Voice settings cannot be changed.

AVL CONTROL
In most cases the volume levels coming from broadcast programming or commercials are never the same. With the AVL control turned ON, you can have the TV level out the sound being heard. This makes for a more consistent sound by reducing the peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks.
