Great product, poor manual

I was on the market for a budget receiver, but I still wanted it to have many features and HDMI connections was a must for me. This baby has 2 HDMI in and 1 out, wich is just what I needed.

The set up of the speakers is very easy and fast but the connections are not. The manual is kind of confusing. Looks easy the first time you read it but then you realize that you can't follow exactly the instructions. Some times they lead you to make conecctions you've already made with other components.

The remote is too big, but useful.

Once you have solved all the problems connecting you stuff, you noticed you have just what you 've paid for: a great receiver, with a wonderful sound for music and movies. I have it working with 3 KEF speakers (front and central) and 4 sattelite Samsung speakers, wich I am about to change sooner than later. The result is excelent.

All that said, I am completelly satisfied since I was expecting some kind of problems with the always complicated (at least for me) connnections.

I think the calculator is a good one, but the manual that came with it was in Chinese or some other oriental language - just a flimsy and impractical fold out in English.  I returned the first one I got for that reason, with assurance from the Amazon rep that the next one should have a manual in English.  Unbelievable!  I don't really fault Amazon, but the seller, Port Trading US.  Product should have been clearly marked as having manual in Chinese, and not English.

My daughter is leaving for college in next day or so, so she'll just have to download a pdf and deal with it.

The product itself gets a 5/5 for me but I took one star because the instructions it came with were horrible to try to comprehend, especially for someone like me who hasn't done this before. I ended up going on youtube and there's this guy named "bike man for you" or something like that who sets up a Velo 5 which is pretty much the same thing as the Velo 7, so that helped. The cateye website was down when I tried to look for some videos on there, but now that it's back up I definitely recommend going there and reading the PDF Manual on the Velo 7 page. It's so much easier to comprehend on the websites Manual rather than the huge paper with 50 diff. languages and tiny print. After I put it together I spun the front wheel and it read about 10mph so I know it works. Good stuff.

A nice product, but instruction booklet is inadequate and doesn't explain functions well at all. Still cannot understand how to set a temperature.

As mentioned by others, the manual is very primitive! Mostly pictures only for assembly!

I thought scoreboard was not working and I finally used a flashlight to look and found I had the controller plugged into the wrong plug. The markings are black on black!

A good descriptive PDF would be helpful. I took a picture of the pages of manual with my iPhone so I could zoom in to see which screws go where! I wish it folded smaller so we could take it through a door to move from garage to playroom, etc!

They did label screws in different bags, but it is easy to put wrong length screws in wrong place!

Works great and the price is awesome, but a manual would have been nice.

So far I love this product, but the manual sadly lacks. The radio has good reception and the way the alarm slowing gets louder makes waking up no longer a jolt, but a much better experience. Recommended.

I'm overall very pleased with the product. I do highly recommend with one strong caveat: the "manual" (if it can be called that) is the most worthless waste of paper I have ever seen. It is totally undecipherable. Whomever they hired to do the English translation should really understand English before any future attempts at translations. That aside, it is fairly straightforward to install and get working.

One other point: I've noticed that several people will report a wide range of reception issues. It looks like this may not be an issue with the DTV box itself, but rather with how the stations are broadcasting DTV. The FCC is currently investigating the problems with DTV reception in the Chicago area. Just FYI.

Got what I ordered in good time. Setup went OK and product works but the instructions are very poor, especially those dealing with usage. This users manual needs work.

the product itself is great, but there is a distinct lack of instructions.  looking on youtube helped a ton, but i was too impatient to watch more than one how-to video.  consequently, i made 2 major errors.  1) i pried on the lcd display to detach it from the glass/digitizer, which ruined the lcd display.  the correct way to do this is to insert a thin screwdriver/knife into the side between the two metal frame pieces and pop the lcd up, not by prying on the bottom with the plastic tool.  2) i ruined the ear speaker piece by being too aggressive putting ribbon #3 into place.  i pushed a bit too hard because i thought all the metallic part of the ribbon was supposed to seat into the chip.  the ribbon bent, and subsequently the ear speaker did not work.  i can only assume that you only need to slide about half of the metallic part of the ribbon into place (until you meet resistance), and then lock it into place.

i hope you can learn from my mistakes.  i would recommend the youtube videos by zeetron, they seemed to be the most helpful.

Would have been 5 stars if an instruction booklet had been included.

OK the product works but the manual and timing of the product information versus the manual is very poor. The monitor works well when it is close to the central control, but at a distance, only the buzzer works, the monitor does not charge. If the monitor distance finds more than one or two walls (in my concrete case), you will be able to hear the buzzer, but not the video.

This is a solid product in a beautiful case, well built and does everything it's supposed to, however the manual is among the worst I have ever seen. You basically have to figure everything out yourself. The most glaring fault is it's inability to accept a 28 character WEP key without first connecting by ethernet cable and updating the firmware.

The user interface is clunky, but that's because they have to fit everything in such a small window. Once you figure out their methodology it's fairly simple, too bad the manual doesn't fully explain this, and their website is of no help at all. No FAQs, no info on updating, no nothing!

All that aside the features and sound make this a good addition to anyone who lives in a reception dead zone.

Once you get it up and running and figure out it's idiosincracies I think you will be very happy with it, we are.

Unit is very good. Original packed directions were COMPLETELY WRONG. Struggled for a short bit before I went online and downloaded (and had to print at cost) the correct manual. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the manual.
How does this happen? Bad personnel - that's how.

We just bought the Garmin C340 and love its user-friendliness.  However, it was not as user-friendly to set up since the manual is not included in the box.  You must go to the Garmin site to download the manual.  The manual is also quite sparse.  It does not tell you how to add points of interest to the GPS or how to save them to an optional SD card.  Can you just stick the SD card into the slot and download the POI to the SD card through the GPS or do you need to use an SD card reader?

Also, the Quick Reference Guide doesn't do a good job of telling you step by step instructions on how to load the drivers, go to the company's site for updates (must download the updater first) or get the POI loader.

I would have given the Garmin C340 5 stars had they better instructions.  It's not a cheap product so it should not force the customer to find his/her way in installing and updating the GPS.

I just wish it came with a users manual... it has lots of cool features I'd like to know how to take advantage of... not as easy to use without a manual

Good product, but manual was not very good. It left out the symbols on the unit in the brochure. Only an internet search for the manual rectified this.
Other than that, the units worked fine, however I have not been able to establish its 23 mile range in hilly surroundings, yet.
