content: Hi,I'm looking for the service manual of the AV Receiver/amplifierAkai AA-V305If I do not have other choice, I'm OK to pay a fair price, but I usually do not trust many of those websites.....(SM for AA-V205 is available for free online, but the differences are too significant to make it useful for me)Thanks !

content: I couldn't find a free copy with a quick search. I couldn't see it in the usual sources. It doesn't mean there isn't one out there somewhere.There are thesehttps://www.servicemanuals.net/en/AKAI-AA-V305-FULL-Service-ManualThey want $16.99 for a pdf or will supply a paper copy for $29.99.I haven't tried them, but they LOOK legitimate, that is, not some sort of scam.I just saw coromonadalix's post but decided to post anyway.

content: Yes, I know also of those sites, but as I said, I am not sure those are not scams....For example, there is no even a preview of the cover as there is for other manuals, which, strangely, are also available for free on electrotanya....Does anone have an experience with that website ?

content: I've no experience of dealing with the website I mentioned, and I haven't dealt with any others selling manuals for some years.They do mention prices and a couple of options, such as pdf or paper copies. They have a search facility. It looks to me to be a legitimate business selling manuals. Were I desperate for a manual they had which wasn't available free, nor from another source such as Artek, known to be reputable, I'd give then a try, with some misgivings.Some others I've looked at claim to have just about any manual you care to mention, don't mention specific things such as prices and want an email address or registration from the start. They look more like a data fishing operation.
