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.

DBB NEWS/TA IS
� NEWS ON, TA ON or OFF is displayed briefly. � NEWS is displayed if you have activated the NEWS or TA option. Changing listening source will not disarm the function. Notes: � To avoid unwanted recordings, the NEWS announcement does not work while recording a tape. � When you receive RDS news or traffic announcements during CD playback, playback will pause and you will be able to hear the news/TA. Playback resumes after the broadcast has finished. In tape mode, the tape continues playing but you will hear the news/TA only until the broadcast has finished. � If you are using the RDS NEWS announcement with an EON station, the whole network is searched for the respective news.
