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!

Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)
IMPORTANT The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another fuse cover. Please contact the company from where the machine was purchased. The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug. WARNING If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away. You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you plug it into a socket. IMPORTANT WARNING: You must earth this machine. The wires in the mains lead have the following color code: � Green and Yellow: � Blue: � Brown: Earth Neutral Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the following: You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin colored green and yellow or green or marked by the letter �E� or by the safety `Earth symbol.' You must connect the blue wire to the pin colored black or which is marked with the letter �N.� You must connect the brown wire to the pin colored red or which is marked with the letter �L.�
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.
