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!

Convenient recording methods
Program recording (CD =TAPE)
Desired CD tracks can be programed in the desired sequence and recorded onto a tape.
The tape deck of the unit can record signals only on Normal (Type ) tapes. It cannot record on High (Type ) and Metal (Type ) tapes.
Be sure to put the cassette deck in stop mode.
1 Make preparation for recording.
1 Select the CD input. 2 Ensure that the "RDM" indicators are not lit. 3 Perform steps 1 to 3 of the procedure in "Recording on TAPE". § 4 Insert disc in the CD player.
÷ If the "RDM" indicator is lit, turn it off by pressing the RANDOM key to cancel the random play mode.
2 Program the desired sequence of CD tracks.
Perform steps 1 and 2 of the procedure in "Listening to the desired sequence (program playback)". ª
÷ When the PGM key is pressed to cancel the edited contents, the entire editing contents will be erased. º ÷ Tracks programed beyond the available tape recording time will be interrupted in the middle.
3 Start recording.
÷ Recording starts from the first track in the program and ends after having recorded the entire programed tracks. ÷ Recording stops automatically when the program playback of CD has completed. ÷ When either playback or recording stops, the other operation is stopped automatically.
If you are operating the remote, the same effect as step 3 can be obtained by simply pressing the O.T.E. key to start recording.
To interrupt a recording
At the end of the recording
Cassette deck : Stop is executed after an unrecorded portion of about 4 sec. has been produced.
