Akai EA-M830 Manual


Does anybody know where I can get a free operating manual for an Akai
EA-M830 Sound processor please?

PDF format would be fine.

I am out of work and not earning, which is why I cannot really afford
to pay for it.

I am completely new to Groups, so suggestions for other groups to post
this request in would also be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Nick

You could try sci.electronics.equipment and sci.electronics.repair.
Also give the forums at http://www.diyaudio.com/ a try, they're very
helpful over there.

That's one is apt.

If you are going to advise people to post to additional groups,
it would be smart to see where they have already posted.
http://groups.google.com/groups/search? ... =0&num=100
(It would be good if the OP would mention where all HE has posted.)

This individual also needs to be made aware that
MULTI-POSTING IS A BAD IDEA.

YES. While most of the posts are for the gear types you mentioned,
there is nothing preventing the OP from posting his question there. If
no one has an answer, they don't have to respond.

It's an invaluable resource for finding other sources of that manual
he's looking for, even if none of the posters there has it.

What?? I totally disagree. It is not for me to research where an OP
has posted before I respond. Though I'm glad you have the time to do
so and encourage you to continue to police the posts here.

I do agree that if the OP wants to mention where they have posted,
that's always nice.

I'm glad you agree. Did you have any recommendations for the OP or
were you just going to comment on how others should post?

John,

Jeff is merely documenting this so you'll know how to live your life when
he's not around.

As noted, the OP has spewed this all over Usenet.
If he hadn't posted it to a single group each time
like a clueless n00b, this would be obvious to all.

Seems that he just posted as he came across each group. And he did
say he was new to Usenet.

I definitely agree though that multi-posting prevents us from learning
from the responses of others. And even makes it harder for him to see
if there have been any responses, etc. The OP should have been
cross-posted instead and your Wikipedia post will definitely help Nick
in learning that.

Of course there's "now way to prevent" people from posting, but that
does not mean they belong there.

I will point you to Mark Zenier's guide to the sci.electronics.* hierarchy
at
ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/m/mzenier/seguide9706.txt
and I will make it simple and quote the purpose of .equipment:

sci.electronics.equipment Test, lab, & industrial electronic products.

"Discussion of the application and internal operation and
relative merits of test equipment, laboratory equipment, and
industrial equipment. This is not a forsale group.
Buying/selling is supposed to occur in the relocated
misc.industry.electronics.marketplace group. (Discussions on the
relative merits of various consumer electronics equipment are
better held in the groups in the rec hierarchy devoted to those
topics.)"

Thanks for making it simple Michael.

If posting at s.e.e, the OP could mention that he does not want to
discuss the relative merits of the Akai equipment he has (as Mark
Zenier mentions that folks should do elsewhere), just find a manual
for it and say that he felt the readers of s.e.e might be an
incredible source of info for this.

As most readers of s.e.e have probably needed manuals many times in
their careers, IMHO it's not a resource that should be ignored and
that many people would be glad to help. Of course, others might tell
him that his post was inappropriate. All of it's just part of the fun
and adventure of posting on Usenet.

John

>>>>If posting at s.e.e,

>>>Check the name of this group again.

If you're going to try to call someone on something, please check
first. My comment was in reference to the OP's post, NOT posting
here.

>>>Evading the point.

Perhaps not directly related to your point, but a new point of mine.

And how does your comment relate to anything being discussed? Doesn't
any of the Usenet etiquette you keep referring to mention
signal-to-noise ratios?

Very good point.

>>>Evasion again.

LOL, this is a directly-related comment and completely appropriate and
related to the topic at hand. There is no evasion because there is
nothing to evade. Please see my signal-to-noise ratio comment above.



>>>>IMHO it's not a resource that should be ignored

>>>*Humble* is the only apt part of that--everything else is nonsense.

Ahh...personal attacks. The refuge of the desperate. Please keep your
musings to the topics at hand. Spewing stuff like this only reduces
any decent arguments you might have.

OMG, you're hysterical! How much free time do you have?!?

As all of this is adding absolutely nothing to s.e.b, if you have any
responses I suggest we move this to e-mail.
