While it does what it is advertised to do, the manual is lacking. No noticeable changes in audio quality in bypass mode. Active mode sound is good too.

Make sure you get the external footswitch allowing you to move up and down memories etc. Otherwise you'll be doing a lot of bending and interrupting your playing.  If you do not discipline yourself to save a loop (which requires you to get down low to reach it on the floor) and knock the power plug out (or have a power failure, your loop will be lost.

I have had a steep learning curve with this item.  The controls are minute and somewhat obscure to a senior citizen like me.

Works as advertised... though it does take some practice to get it right.

OK, so it's not the easiest device in the world to program but it works as advertised.

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.

Pretty cool unit, could do better with user manual. I would not recommend buying the unit.

As far as I can tell, it functions as advertised, but it did not come with instructions, and the buttons on the remote don't all provide enough information.

It is very useful product to secure your car.

However the manual is not that clear, wiring diagram isn't straight forward.

Using it for almost a year.

It Software could be much better.

The meter works well.  It is a joy to use.  Though made in China, it is a solidly built, quality unit.  They should come with a magnifying glass so you can read the tiny print in the operators manual.  The operators manual is not sufficiently detailed for someone who is unfamiliar with these devices.  More detail is needed in the manual to fully exploit the capabilities of this device. I downloaded the operators manual from the FLUKE web site, it was available in English-Only and the print was much bigger and therefore easier to read.  Sadly, the manual off the web site was a "replica" of the one that came with the meter...not enough detail for a beginner to fully exploit the device's capabilities. Buying new from Amazon was a better deal than buying one new off of eBay.

It works as expected, but it is sort of complicated.  I have to look at the manual each time to remember how to program it because I don't use it every day.  I wish it were more intuitive to use.

This manual is pretty good, but not nearly as informative and helpful as "iPad: The Missing Manual."  The instructions sometimes are not very clear, and some information that I would like to be able to look up is not to be found.

This book is excellent, as far as it goes - but it doesn't go very far. The author says that he is going to follow up with a more advanced manual. Hopefully, it will be much longer and go into far more detail.

Version ten of Final Cut Pro was only recently introduced, so no other manuals are available yet. I have pretty much had to figure it out through trial and error - with many trips to the Apple store.

This seems to work well enough. But it desperately needs an INSTRUCTION MANUAL. I did not know that the LEDs were adjustable in brightness because I did not notice the little switch on the side of the USB plug-in. At first they were too dim to be useful and I thought the item was defective/useless. With the lights turned up it worked OK. And I never did figure out how to take a video with the thing and save it so that I could view it later.
  I bought it for a single-use purpose - to look down a drain line that I am repairing so that I wouldn't have to pay a plumber $200 to do it for me. It worked well enough for that, and now I have no use for it. But it did save me money so that's good at least.

It does the purpose but could be slightly cheaper.

the machine is built to provide many functions. I purchased it knowing there was no manual. It Is far TOOOO complicated to allow a casual user to be able to understand its functions.

I gave this book only 3 stars due to the fact Clymer lauds itself on making manuals for those who have not had much experience previously. I have found that many of the images do not give the full detail required to eliminate any uncertainty with the corresponding directions. Also, many times, the directions have no image or illustration in helping the reader understand those same directions. It is unfortunate, as it would not take very much to make the manual a far more superior manual than what it is. Who knows, maybe Clymer should actually take an individual, give them the book, and watch them with it. Maybe then, they will understand what they need to overcome a 3 star rating. I would rather have paid twice as much or more, and gotten the actual service manual from yamaha.

I'm an IT guy, but the hoops you have to jump through to get this working is a bit much. You can read the other reviews and manufacturer comments for more detailed information. The device works great once it is up and running, and I hope in the future they figure a way to make it an easier process because I can see people giving up before having a chance to use the drive. I gave it 3 stars because it does work as advertised and do what it is supposed to do. Maybe in the future they will fix the setup issues with a newer firmware already installed. I would suggest they manually install the new firmware on all the devices they have in the warehouse. It may take a long time and be labor intensive, but it will keep customers from getting upset.
