Re: [IRCA] SRF-59 frequency control
Oh, yeah, you're right. My mistake. The PSY04 is a digitally tuned radio, quite different from the SRF-59/SRF-PSY03 For the SRF-PSY03 service manual try http://servicemanuals.electronica.ro/schematics/sony/radio/srf_psy03.pdf On Jan 1, 2008 11:14 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 1/1/2008 11:09:19 P.M.

Re: [IRCA] SRF-59 frequency control
I dont think Sony would go throug the trouble to design a super chip just for cheap AM-FM radios, no money in them. I am sure they have more in mind so it may be simple. But odds are they are like TV micros that all have the same PN but are programed different from the outside. Since nobody checked already in a few days I will go on Sony sevice to see if they have a manual. I dont think they will but... I will need a volineer to post it. I would do it now but I cant remember the pass word !! 73 Tom Jones Mason N.H. On Mon, 31 Dec 2007 13:00:17 -0500 Karl J.

If anyone gets the manual for the SRF59 and can scan it, I will post it at walkerbroadcasting.com!

Hate to throw cold water on what is essentially a generous offer and a good idea ... but this might be in violation of Sony's copyright. A U.S. copyright lawyer would know what the law is and if there might be any way to proceed. - saul - Original Message - From: Paul B.

Re: [IRCA] SRF-59 frequency control
The SRF-59 manual can also be downloaded from Sony's website http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-documents.pl?mdl=SRF59 It seems like most major electronics manufacturers have soft versions of operating manuals and other documentation available on their websites. Sometimes it takes some effort to find it. The best bet is to go to the home page, look for the search tool, and enter the model number. Or look for links to the support page, or product description page, etc. You may have to drill won through several layers of pages to find what you want, but it's usually there some place. I've looked through online user manuals/instructions several times recently while shopping for electronics goodies. The product descriptions are often vague as to an item's true capabilities, but most manuals do a reasonably OK job at telling what it can or can't do.

Re: [IRCA] SRF-59 frequency control
As was already mentioned, the SERVICE manual (not merely the operator's manual) for the SRF-59 can be downloaded here: http://www.electronica.ro/service_manuals/sony/radio/srf-psy04/ Although the model number is different, it's essentially the same radio.
