@connecter The man is definied. If someone says the man the other person has to know who it is (someone you know). Man itself is used when generally talking about all men (in the world/the place). A man is undefinied and could be anybody. If someone says a man it mostly doesn't matter who it is or you just don't know him (This morning I saw a man was sitting on a tree).
I hope you undrrstand now ;)
