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!
Text excerpt from page 33 (click to view)
Refer to Figure 10. 1. Turn the knob at the end of the ribbon take-up spindle (1) clockwise until it stops. This causes the ribbon release bars to pivot down (2), easing the spindle�s �grip� on the wound ribbon. 2. Slide the ribbon off of the ribbon take-up spindle. Once the used ribbon has been removed, ensure that the arrow on the knob aligns with the indented notch in the ribbon take-up spindle (see inset). 3. Remove the empty core from the ribbon supply spindle. 4. Follow the ribbon loading procedure on page 14 to load the new ribbon.
