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!

13. Securing Cartridge The screws holding to the headshell must now be tightened and it is very important to avoid moving the position of the cartridge, so tighten in the following way: slowly, one screw at a time in extremely small stages. Before screws are completely tight check that cartridge is still in alignment at position B and then at position A.Then tighten screws firmly bearing in mind whether the cartridge body is made of metal or plastic!
NOTE: If you find it impossible to align the cartridge, ie. the cartridge cannot move far enough forward in the slots of the headshell, then the tonearm is incorrectly positioned on the armboard, being too far from the record centre. If the cartridge cannot be moved far enough back in the headshell, then the arm is too near the centre of the record. In either case the tonearm will have to be repositioned on the armboard. It should be noted however, that different cartridges allow for more or less movement than others.
