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!

The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob.
Burn and Fire Hazard Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.
Until you get used to the settings, use the following as a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high settings; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking. Turn on the surface unit only after placing filled pan on unit. Use HI to start foods cooking; to bring liquids to a boil. Use MED-HI to hold a rapid boil; to fry chicken or pancakes. Use MED for gravy, puddings and icing; to cook large amounts of vegetables. Use MED-LO to keep food cooking after starting it on a higher setting. Use LO to keep food warm until ready to serve. Set the heat higher or lower within the LO band to keep food at the temperature you want.
Cookware
There is no one brand of utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the right cooking utensils for your needs.
1.
Use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface units. To check the flatness of a utensil: l Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it. l Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler. lid.
2. The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting
3. Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that a very heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food. 6
