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!!

Quarter Space (Pi): An example of quarter space would be with speakers mounted on stands in a corner, or on the meter bridge against a wall or mounted on small stands or shelves against a wall. Also typical PC/Mac editing in a confined space on a desk near a wall. This is usually also a close field situation. Follow the DIP settings below for Quarter Space and adjust for the listening distance accordingly. Adjust the LF-Q settings to balance the system.

"Difficult Space" (pi/2): An example of a difficult space would be with speakers against a wall, mounted on the same surface as the PC/Mac machine tilted upwards towards the listener with one or other (or both!) speakers in a corner. This is also a close field situation and demands extreme EQ to make the speakers measure reasonably flat. Typical examples might be a mobile or temporary sound booth set up during an outside broadcast or live field event. Follow the DIP settings in the diagram below for "Difficult Space" for the speakers in corners and adjust for the listening distance accordingly. Adjust the LF-Q settings to balance the system.
