Menu
Menu
Pressing
the
Menu
button selects the navigation level at which the
Previous
element and
Next
element buttons operate. The levels available depend on the particular book. Many
books will be marked at the chapter level only, while some will mark parts and chapters or
chapters and sections. Recipe books are likely to have recipe and page levels.
The
Phrase
level actually permits navigation by SMIL segments or one minute intervals, if its
length is over one minute. The SMIL file weaves together all the components of the book
(audio fragments for NLS books) into a continuous “presentation.” Book producers can mark
significant points as SMIL segments without explicitly making them navigation points such as
chapters or pages. For example, each ingredient of a recipe may be a distinct SMIL segment.
Thus, at the phrase level, a recipe can be heard ingredient by ingredient by using the
Next
element button.
The menu button is only active when a book cartridge is inserted. When a book cartridge is
inserted for the first time, the player sets the navigation level to the highest (coarsest)
available. The player remembers the setting for each book so that the navigation level set for
that book is recalled when the book cartridge is reinserted.
Secondary
Pressing and holding
the
Menu
button for 2 seconds will set the navigation level to the
highest (coarsest) level.
