Want the full manual for using the player of an inherently offline media like LPs? Go online then.

Luckily it’s just a download page for a plain PDF, but I wonder how much longer it’d take for them to make the manual into something like an app, an app-fied web page, part of a subscription, etc.
A paper manual does come with the player, but it’s a very simpliefied, 4 pages-long one, while the PDF one is 47 pages-long (will try to take photos of the physical one).
Sounds like they send a how to use with the player while not wasting the paper on a full technical manual only a few people will want to refer to. Annoying for some, but not enshittification.
