The number I have for the parts office in Kansas Ciy is (816) 891-7550.
Sony also has (or had) a tool free consumer information number: (800)
222-7669. The last time I ordered manuals, they were $5 each (except
for VCR stuff) plus sales tax and handling:

	number	handling fee
	(1)	$1.25
	(2)	$2.00
	(3)	$2.75
	(4)	$3.50
	(5-10)	$4.25

I'm pretty sure that they take phone orders on Visa. And as Larry says,
the manuals are pretty nice. The manual for the D-5 explains how to put
the unit into "maintance mode" which lets you run the optics assembly
back and forth manually.

P.S. It's interesting to note that the cost is the same for the thick
manual for a top of the line stereo receiver manual as it is for a two
page manual on a hand held remote control.
