A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Dynacord DPA 4260, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Dynacord DPA 4260 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Dynacord DPA 4260. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Dynacord DPA 4260 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Dynacord DPA 4260
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Dynacord DPA 4260 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Dynacord DPA 4260 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Dynacord DPA 4260 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Dynacord DPA 4260, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Dynacord service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Dynacord DPA 4260.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Dynacord DPA 4260 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    Installation Notes Generally, it is important to install the power amplifier in a way, that ensures unhinder ed front-to-rear air circulation. When installing the power amplifier in a closed rack-shelf system, please make sure that ade quate air-flow is guaranteed. The space between the rear panel of the amplifier and the inner wall of the r ack-ca[...]

    Level Control dB-scaled rotary controls for adjusting the power amplifier’s overall ampli - fication. This control should be positioned between the 0 dB and the -6 dB marks to prevent distortion in source devices. The labeling indicates the actual attenuation applied to the internal specified factor of amplification. Input Routing If the switch i[...]

    Power Outputs – AUDIO TRANSFORMER OUTPUTS The two integrated output transformers convert the power amplifier’s nominal output volt age to the commonly used loudspeaker line voltage standards – 25 V, 70 V, and 100 V. These voltages ar e simultaneously present at the correspondent floating outputs of the binding post strip. The two power amplif[...]

    Power Outputs - Isolated Outputs 25 V The floating 25 V output is mainly used for driving low impedance loudspeaker systems (4 - 16 ohms). Because of the effect of line attenuation, the distance between power amplifier and loud speaker systems should not exceed 50 meters. It is further important that the total impedance of the entire loudspeaker ne[...]

    Bridged Mode Doubling the power amplifier’s output power is accomplished by engaging bridged mode ope ration, where the two power amplifier output stages are linked for push-pull operation. In other words, a monaural power amplifier is “created” offering double the output voltage and double the output power cap acity of a single channel. As a[...]

    GROUND Lift Switch The ground lift switch helps is a perfect means for eliminating possible ground noise loops. In case the power amplifier is operated together with other equipment inside of a rack shelf system, the switch should be set to its GROUNDED position. When using the power amplifier together with other equipment that operates on differen[...]
