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!

DEFROSTING
This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.
USING DEFROST FEATURE
1. Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The oven indicator neon may glow and turn on
and off when defrosting.
l The oven fan and oven light will come on. l The cooling fan does not operate.
HINTS AND TIPS
l Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.
l The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
l It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
l A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed
in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process.
