Why does Victor Reader not always announce the same DAISY levels when I press the
Up and Down keys?
The Up and Down keys cycle through the DAISY navigation levels provided by the producer of
the book. Not all DAISY books have the same navigation levels. For example, your book’s
producer may have only inserted level 1 (often used for chapters) marks into the book. In this
case, the Up and Down keys will announce only “level 1” and “phrase”. A phrase level is
always included. Victor Reader can only navigate at the levels provided by the book producer.
Often, the GOTO PAGE function will not work because many books are produced without
DAISY page marks. Also, the phrase jump is not the same for each book. Some producers may
include a phrase mark for a single sentence while others may markup phrase as an arbitrary time
jump. Still others have converted older cassette books and inserted a phrase as an entire side of
one cassette. For books with little or no DAISY navigation marks, you will need to navigate
with the fast forward and rewind keys. The Rewind key is to the left of the Play/Stop key and
the Fast Forward key is to the right of the Play/Stop Key.

How do I know what DAISY navigation levels are available in my book?
The Victor Reader Up and Down keys will cycle through the levels of navigation available in the
book. Many book producers include a section at the beginning of the book that describes what
the DAISY levels correspond to in that book. Check with your book producer if you are unsure
of the book’s navigation features.

How do I quickly jump to the start or end of a book?
The Classic and have automatic bookmarks for the beginning or end of the book. Press
the Bookmark key until you hear Victor Reader announce, “Bookmark List”. Then press the left
arrow key until you hear, “beginning of book”. The beginning of book is always to the left of
the first user bookmark. Similarly, to reach the end of the book press the right arrow in the
bookmark list until you hear “end of book”. The end of book is always to the right of the last
user bookmark. If you have not set any bookmarks then you need only press the left arrow key
once in the bookmark list to reach the beginning of the book or press the right arrow once to
reach the end.
