Diagrams: The illustrations are technical line drawings rather than photographs. They are accurate but lack visual appeal.
Language: TEAC manuals are generally translated from Japanese. The English is usually grammatically correct but tends to be passive and formal (e.g., "The button should be depressed" rather than "Press the button").
