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!
Scan quality is very good. Price is very reasonable. If you're looking to purchase a copy of this manual, this is the one to get.

Outputting the Direct Sound and Octave Sound Separately
When you connect a plug to DIRECT OUT, only the direct sound is output from the DIRECT OUT jack, and only the octave sound is output from the OUTPUT (MONO) jack. This allows you to add effects separately to the direct sound and the octave sound.
* In this case, sounds are output only from the DIRECT OUT jack when the effect is switched off.

Guitar Amplifier Multi Effector etc. Electric Guitar
When the OC-3 is in DRIVE mode (p. 7) while DIRECT OUT is connected, the direct sound (without the distortion applied) is output from DIRECT OUT. Taking sounds with effects added using a multi-effects processor or other such device and the sounds in DRIVE mode and playing them through multiple amps allows you to produce an extremely low sound with greater separation. In such settings, the DIRECT LEVEL knob (p. 6) adjusts the direct sound level.
