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!!

It is supplied with 2 metres of 5 amp 3 core cable incorporating a moulded 13 amp plug, fitted with a 3 amp fuse, which can be plugged directly into the nearest suitable socket. If this is not long enough, the supply cable can be replaced 2 totally by a longer cable at least 0.75mm nominal cross sectional area (24/0.2mm). Ensure the plug is accessible to the user. IF THE MOULDED PLUG IS CUT FROM THE CABLE FOR ANY REASON, IT MUST BE DESTROYED OR DISPOSED OF SAFELY, AS THE PROTRUDING WIRES WILL BE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. If any other type of plug is used it should incorporate a 3 amp fuse in either the plug or adapter or at the distribution board. If the cable has to be threaded through small apertures in cabinets etc., it may be disconnected from the appliance, then re-connected to as shown in Fig.2. DO NOT EXTEND THE CABLE USING PLASTIC OR CERAMIC CONNECTION TERMINAL BLOCKS AND/OR INSULATION TAPE. ALL EXTERNAL WIRING BETWEEN THE APPLIANCE AND THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SHALL COMPLY WITH I.E.E. WIRING REGULATIONS. If the wiring is extended or a completely new cable fitted a 3-pin 13 amp plug should be fitted. (See Fig. 2a). Connect the wires as follows: BROWN to the Live Terminal. BLUE to the Neutral Terminal. GREEN and YELLOW to the Earth Terminal. As the colours of the wires in the mains lead which you fit may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter �E� or by the earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter �N� or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter �L� or coloured RED. FIT A 3 AMP FUSE TO THE PLUG HOLDER. Ensure that the supply cable cannot get caught by the stability chain. Plug in the appliance.
