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!!

The cue point is where the music will begin when play is pressed. The cue point is set as the initial start point on a track or can be moved when play is started at a different point. For instance if the music is paused then play is pressed a new cue point is set. You can easily edit the cue point by turning the wheel during pause. As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and pressing play a new point is set. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be played from the same position any number of times. Note: Pressing cue 2 times plays music temporarily from this point until the button is released. 8. Play/Pause: Starts the music from the cue point or pauses it while in play.

Pitch Bend Function: allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left). When the CD is behind rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes temporarily while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more pitch is changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch.
