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!

This effect allows you to use a conventional bass to simulate a fretless bass.

DEPTH/TONE knob
Adjusts the tone. Turn the knob to the left for a milder sound, or to the right for a sharper sound.

ENHANCER
This is an effect that clarifies the contour of the input sound by emphasizing the sound following changes in the input level.

This adjusts the Enhancer sensitivity. The more the knob is turned to the right, the more softly you can play and still have the effect applied.
