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!

Instruction Manual
3. Tune-Up
a. The Rules There�s just one rule: Setting up your Xciter is very easy and intuitive. Much more so than many other effects units. Use the Big Bottom and the Aural Exciter as if they were separate enhancers. After that, it is all up to experimentation. Bear in mind that your amp and speaker play a part in the overall tone of your instrument, just as your pickups do. What settings are great for one rig or instrument might not be perfect for another. b. Setting Up Big Bottom Turn up the Lo Blend to at least 12:00 so you can hear the effect. Rotate the Lo Tune control to hear how the effect changes. Look for the sweet spot as it seems to you. Everyone will find a different sweet spot depending on their instrument�s tonality and their personal preferences. Readjust the Lo Blend until you feel the effect is just right.
