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!

LOCATION OF APPLIANCE
This is a type X appliance which means it is freestanding and can be fitted with cabinets on one or both sides. This appliance must not be installed in a bed-sitting room of volume less than 20m³ or in a bathroom or shower room. It is essential that the appliance is positioned as stated below (see Fig. 1a)) i.e. shelves, wall cabinets and cooker hoods must be fitted a minimum of 787mm directly above the top of hotplate and 400mm above the hotplate when fitted in line with the outside of the appliance. If the units are intended to be fitted adjacent to the appliance but less than 400mm above the hotplate, then a minimum space of 100mm must be maintained between the sides of the unit and the appliance (see Fig.1b). Curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the appliance or within150mm of the sides of the hotplate. If fitted next to or between two base units a minimum space of 1mm must be left between each unit and the sides of the appliance. The levelling feet fitted to the appliance will achieve a nominal height to hotplate trims of 900mm - 2mm +20mm. If the appliance needs to be higher that 920mm, then an optional height adjustment kit is available which will raise the appliance to a nominal height of 945mm (wheels kit no. 359079800 G.C. No 074 498).
