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!!

Crossover Tweeter Level Adjustment
The GTi system crossover allows you to adjust the level of the GTi systems tweeter. This adjustment is located under the crossover cover. To remove this cover simply press on the end of the cover (as shown in Figure G) and lift off. The adjustment of the tweeter level is done by setting the switch on the crossover (see Figure H) to the �0dB�, ��2dB� or ��4dB� position. Set this switch in the position that matches you personal preference. Both crossovers should have this switch set in the same position. Figure H

want your system �Loud + Clear,� we suggest that you step up to a JBL power amplifier which has an RMS power rating equal to, but not exceeding, the Maximum Recommended Amplifier Power listed in the specifications of your specific JBL speaker. This margin of reserve power will ensure that the amplifier will not attempt to deliver more power than its design allows. Your dealer will be happy to point out which high power JBL amplifiers are
Speaker Break-In
The 404 and 504GTi woofer/ midranges use many high strength materials which require benefit from a break-in period before they will achieve top performance. After a break-in period of about 1-hour at moderate volume the drivers will achieve peak performance.
A Note on Power Handling
As a result of their high efficiency, all JBL loudspeakers will produce reasonable volume levels in the automotive environment using very little amplifier power. However, the use of a low-powered amplifier to attain very high volume levels could lead to overdriving the amplifier. This
