A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Yamaha S1500, 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 Yamaha S1500 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 contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Yamaha S1500, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Yamaha 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 Yamaha S1500.

    are two-channel analog outputs for a standard audio hookup to a CD player input and a separate six-jack bank of connectors for multi-channel audio outputs. These output left, center, right, left-surround, right- surround, and subwoofer signals. The latter should be hooked up to the six-jack analog inputs of a suitable processor or receiver and norm[...]

    like this for a full 20 seconds before the music started. I got similar results with SACD material and DVD-A sources often took even longer. One, Big Phat Band’s Swingin’ for the Fences (Silverline DVD-A 82002) took a full 35 seconds, because the player actually had to access two menus (automatically bypassing the first after pulling it up) bef[...]

    Consequently, when using the DSP-A1 you can zero out the DVD-S1500’s bass management with all SACD sources (remember, DVD-A is locked in with no bass management to begin with) and then get uniform bass management from all inputs, analog or digital: CD, DVD-A, SACD, DD, and DTS. The result is that a reviewer like me can not only enjoy the musical [...]

    not match what the DSP-A1 could do at home (at least in my room) with the CD version is a credit to the Yamaha DSP technology. Of course, it is also possible that the master tapes were indeed configured for future surround-sound productions, and in that case the Yamaha DSP ambiance simulation processing looks even more impressive.

    previously, and while they might bother some users, I think that most people will be thrilled with what this device can do. For one thing, it can be shoehorned into a squashed-down rack space that many other upscale players can only dream of achieving.

    measured by Cirrus Logic with an “A-weighted” filter. That kind of weighting is applied by placing a filter before the noise meter. The filter is said to allow the measurement to better reflect how the ear perceives noise level changes, meaning less sensitivity at the high and low end. Weighting also makes DAC noise performance look better sinc[...]

    for a CD). This is down only 20 dB, which is 10 times the value of the 40 dB in the fast mode. (Remember, decibels are in logs; hence a doubling in decibels is a 10x increase.) Maybe a teenage kid can hear it. The slow mode will make the ringing of the filter to an impulse look better in the time domain but at the cost of a potential audible effect[...]
