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!!

Tuner Operation
You can listen to FM and AM stations by tuning in manually, automatically, or using preset memory. For best reception, extend the headphone cord (FM antenna) for FM and turn the unit for AM.
Preset tuning
Preset the stations beforehand. (See �Presetting stations�.)
Changing the FM reception mode
When a broadcast is in stereo, �ST.� lights up and you can hear stereo effects. However, if an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, you can select monaural (MONO) mode. Reception improves, but you lose the stereo effect.
