Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Pioneer RS-A9. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel Pioneer RS-A9 ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Pioneer RS-A9 décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation Pioneer RS-A9 devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif Pioneer RS-A9
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication Pioneer RS-A9
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Pioneer RS-A9
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage Pioneer RS-A9 ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles Pioneer RS-A9 et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Pioneer en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées Pioneer RS-A9, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif Pioneer RS-A9, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation Pioneer RS-A9. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

  • Page 34

    33 T ime Alignment Adjustment <T .A.> (Open state) In the vehicle, the different speaker units are at widely differing distances from the listener. The sounds from the speakers therefore reach the listener at different times. When a multi-amp system is set up, this causes different delays for each frequency band (high, mid, low and ultrabass-[...]

    Example: making corrections for the driver’s seat in a left-hand drive vehicle • Measure the distance between the head of the listener, when sitting in the driver’s seat, and each speaker unit. Note: • The unit of distance must be centimeters. Note: • It is recommended that the boxes be filled in as the measurements are made, as this info[...]

    Note: • Some systems may indicate values for speaker units which are not connected. Verify the composi- tion of the system in order to correctly adjust the bands for the connected speaker units. 7. Carry out time alignment adjustments for the other speaker units. Repeat steps 4 – 6 to input the distance to be corrected for each speaker unit. 6.[...]

    About the H.P.F. and L.P.F. High pass filter eliminates lower sound ranges (low-range) from the set up frequencies and allows high ranges through. Low pass filter eliminates upper sound ranges (high-range) from the set up frequencies and allows low ranges through. About the slope This value indicates how many dB the signals attenuate when the frequ[...]

  • Page 41

    Important points in adjusting cut-off frequencies • If the subwoofer is installed in the rear tray, setting a high cut-off frequency of L.P.F. of the subwoofer separates the bass and gives the listener the feeling that the bass is coming from behind. The L.P.F. of the subwoofer is recommended to be set at 100 Hz or below. • Speakers used for mi[...]

  • Page 42

    41 A udio Adjustment <Network> Important points in adjusting the slope • A decrease in the absolute value of the slope (more gentle inclination) makes the frequency characteristics more susceptible to interference from the next band. • Increasing the absolute value of the slope (sharper inclination) lessens the connections between bands, [...]
