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.

Internal adjustments: cartridge loading
The high-gain and low-gain phono options offer internally selectable cartridge loading via two four-pole miniature rocker switches, one for each channel. The high-gain and low-gain options have been factoryadjusted at 825� and 47K�, respectively. If you wish to change the factory-adjusted cartridge loading, see "Making the internal adjustments;" refer to the table below for the proper switch positions for each load setting.
Cartridge loading settings (high-gain option)
Switch #1 #2 #3 #4
30� Off Off On Off
100� Off On Off Off
825� On Off Off Off
10K� Off Off Off Off
Optional Off Off Off On

Internal adjustments: optional load terminals
Resistance values other than those listed above can be accommodated via the optional load terminals. Load resistors can be inserted into these terminals, allowing virtually any load desired.

See "Making the internal adjustments;" refer to the "Cartridge loading settings" tables for the proper switch positions for the optional load. Because the inherent input resistance (all switches off) is in parallel with the optional load terminals, use this formula to calculate the actual resistor needed: R = 1/ (1/RD - X) RD = Desired resistance in ohms X = 0.00002 for Low-gain Phono Option, 0.0001 for High-gain Phono Option Note: We recommend precision metal-film resistors; see your Mark Levinson dealer.
