Digital Talking-Book Player

Library Guide
The cartridge used with the player is about the size of a compact cassette, but with a more complex shape. The end of
the cartridge with the round finger hole is beveled, so that when that end of the cartridge is pressed down on a flat
surface in front of the player, the other end of the cartridge, with the USB Connector, tilts up and can slide smoothly
into the player. The end of the cartridge with the USB connector is also beveled so it will fit into the player only one
way.

Advanced Features
The Advanced Model has an
additional row of controls
between the raised line and the round speaker. The
advanced controls are for setting and retrieving bookmarks and for navigating through the structured levels of a
NISO, Daisy 2.02, or CEA-2003 book.
The
white,
rectangular Menu button
in the center of the player selects the level at which step navigation by
the Next and Previous buttons occurs. Pressing this button repeatedly selects progressively finer navigation
levels available in a particular book. Navigation by phrase and by bookmark is also selectable.
The
white, blunt arrow-shaped Previous
and
Next buttons
on the left and right sides of the Menu button
respectively move the reading position to the previous or next element in the book. The level at which
navigation occurs by the Previous and Next buttons is set by using the Menu button. When set to the
bookmark level, the Previous button can be used to go to the beginning and the Next button to move to the
end of the book. These are two non-erasable bookmarks.
