Good afternoon,

Does anyone know who might be able to supply the user manual for the above equipment which I recently found in a lot of things we bought in around 1994 It says on the back that it is called a DC-X994 and it says it was made in Singapore, but I do have the Sanyo advert in UK in which it looks like a salesman selected it for me and I actually purchased it in the United Arab Emirates.

At this time I was often in all three places so anything is possible.

Does anyone know when Sanyo was taken over and by whom. If anyone has one of these handbooks, I would be glad to pay for it to be copied It ended up in a container. That is where I have recently found it and I do not think it was ever used, it looks brand new. It was a fairly popular item.

Any ideas? Thanks George.

Thanks for the link Mike, however it did not react to either of the two product codes. I have the 1994 25th anniversary of Sanyo, hand out issued in UK and this Wi Fi system is featured, but on all the handbook sites this code SYS 994 and the actual one on the back of the unit is DC-X994 and the fact that it was made in Singapore. It really looks like something I could put to good use if I had the instructions and it is like new, having been stored in a 20 ft. container for the last 16 years. The container is crammed with the result of three house fulls of mostly furniture and will take ages to unpack. Regards George.

What exactly is a "Hi Fi System"?

Is this a stereo receiver for the home or some kind of ghetto boombox?

If it's the latter, I'd give up now.

Most of those things from the 80's and early 90's were probably built from
boards/modules cranked out by chinese or korean white box companies and just
assembled by companies like Sanyo, if they had anything to do with it in the
first place.

Plus what is so complicated with it you need the user manual?

On/off, selector knob or switch for the input, after that, volume and tone
to taste. What else do you need to know?

You serious?

You think anyone would pay the equivalent of USD$12 for three to four sheets of
paper folded over and stapled double??

Instructions should always be FREE. They're included in the cost of the product,

Instructions are like locks.
They're only worth what you pay for them.
You can buy a Kwikset door lock for $15 and open it with a pair of
Channel Locks or you can buy a Medico for $300 and sleep at night.

No lock is any better than the frame it is in. Nor do most thieves come at night.

Out on the Main Line (look it up!) there was a group that worked out of a large box-truck. They would pull up into a driveway (no sidewalks out there), put a large sign in the yard: House And Yard Clean-Outs, Fast Personal Service

Then, do just that.

It's a source of the info the OP wanted.

To quote the OP: "If anyone has one of these handbooks, I would be glad
to pay for it to be copied"

If nobody has a copy, or they are not willing to photocopy it, and the
OP really wants the info, then somebody has the market cornered if
/they/ have a copy. How do you think all these websites selling this
info survive?

I like how in the early 60's a US satellite focused all the way in on a single golf ball. I wonder how much of that photography (or other ground detail replications) prosecutors can get their hands on.
