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!!

WARNING: the test tones are very loud!! Make sure there are no infants or small children in the room and that no one who will be scared, upset or damaged by loud noise is present. You yourself may want to wear earplugs. Here the terms ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN represent two types of equalizer methods that emphasize different characteristics of the sound. ALL CH ADJUST: In this method all the speakers (except for the subwoofer) are independent. The settings that were input when you did the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP (see pages 13-15) will be present but you can adjust each speaker individually to suit your taste. The test tones for each channel will sound individually. FRONT ALIGN: In this method all speakers (except for the subwoofer) are set in accordance with the settings of the FRONT speakers. The settings that were input when you did the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP (see pages 13-15) will be present but you can adjust each speaker individually to suit your taste. This setting allows the listener to enjoy a sound balance defined by the front speakers. The front left speaker will serve as the reference tone. The front left tone and the target speaker (the one you are trying to adjust) will sound in turns, so you can judge which needs to be louder.
