No. The type of drive used in the Victor players does not require cleaning.
6.
May I attach a Braille or other label to the CD?
No. The label can adversely affect the balance of the CD as it spins at high speed. Also, if the
label should come loose inside the player it will very likely damage the CD-ROM drive. IF you
receive a CD with a Braille or other non manufacturer’s label you should remove it.
7.
Why do I sometimes hear the message, “Please Wait”, when I press a key even though
there is a CD loaded?
This may happen if you press keys too soon after inserting the CD or turning On the player.
Victor Reader requires some time to scan the disk and load the DAISY navigation information.
After turning On your player or inserting a CD, you should wait until Victor Reader announces
the book title before you press any keys.
8.
What does the message, “bad disk” mean?
This is the message Victor Reader issues if it cannot read the information on the CD. Ensure the
CD is inserted with the playing surface facing down and that it has no fingerprints or scratches.
9.
What does the message, “No book on disk” mean?
This is the message Victor Reader issues if it does not recognize the type of CD. Victor Reader
can only play DAISY, MP3, or audio CD’s.
10.
What does the message, “Audio format not supported” mean?
The CD has audio files that Victor Reader recognizes but the files are formatted in a way that is
incompatible with the Victor Reader software. You should notify HumanWare technical
support.
11.
Can I damage my Victor Reader by playing a scratched CD?
No. The CD reading lens does not come in contact with the CD surface so it will not be
damaged if the CD is scratched. It will also not be subject to wear from repeated plays as with
cassette players.

1.
What should I do if the On/Off key is not working?
If no beep is heard when you press the On/Off key first ensure the player is plugged into the AC
power source. If the On/Off key is still not working, press and hold it down for 10 seconds.
This will reset the power supply. Then press it again and Victor Reader should beep and start
normally.
