O que é a instrução?

A palavra vem do latim "Instructio" ou instruir. Portanto, no manual Pioneer VSX-01THX você pode encontrar uma descrição das fases do processo. O objetivo do manual é instruir, facilitar o arranque, a utilização do equipamento ou a execução de determinadas tarefas. O manual é uma coleção de informações sobre o objeto / serviço, um guia.
