Getting Started session with Victor Reader Classic

Welcome to Victor Reader Classic, your new digital talking book player. Simple and friendly,

Victor Reader Classic is ideal to listen to your favorite best-sellers, novels, and magazines

recorded on CD-ROM. Compact, portable and sturdy, Victor Reader Classic goes anywhere with

you, with it’s optional rechargeable batteries and built-in carrying handle.

The first time you use Victor Reader you should connect the unit to a power outlet even if it’s

equipped with the rechargeable batteries. The batteries may have lost power during shipping

even though they were charged before leaving the factory. For safety reasons, the battery

compartment is sealed. Only HumanWare or an authorized service center should replace

batteries.

To connect to a power outlet, plug one end of the provided AC/DC power cord in the power jack,

which is the uppermost jack of the four jacks located on the right side of the unit and the other

end in an electrical outlet. Please note that you can use Victor Reader while charging the

batteries.

The box you just opened contains the following items: A Victor Reader Classic, a power cord

located under a cardboard separator, a plastic bag containing documentation and the CD you are

currently listening to, containing a Getting Started session followed by the User’s Guide.

This introductory session will give step-by-step instructions and the basic information needed in

order to use Victor Reader correctly. First you will hear a physical description of the unit. Then

we will introduce Victor Reader easy-to-use features.

This introduction is not a complete training session but the User’s Guide provided on this CD

will help you with specific information about Victor Reader’s operation, as you need it.

Before we begin, note that you can interrupt this session at any time by simply pressing the

Play/Stop key, which is located at the bottom center of the face, between the Rewind and Fast-

Forward keys. When you are ready to continue the session, simply press the Play/Stop key

again.

We are now ready to start the session.

First, a physical description of Victor Reader Classic. Have the unit positioned in front of you so

that you can explore it.

A large carrying handle, for easy transport, is located on the left side. A built-in speaker is

located on the upper left corner of the face.

On the top center of the face, are three pairs of up and down keys. From left to right, these are

the Tone, Volume and Speed controls.

Beneath the Tone, Volume and Speed controls, roughly in the center of the unit, you will find the

Navigation keys — pointing UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT. These allow you to move from

page to page, from chapter to chapter or from section to section.

To the left of the four Navigation keys, about midway down the unit, are two more keys. The

upper one is the Information key and the lower one is the Bookmark key. The Information key

tells your current position in the book and general information on the book. The Bookmark key

inserts bookmarks to save important pages or paragraphs for future reference.

Beneath the four Navigation keys you will find, from left to right, the Rewind, Play/Stop and

Fast Forward keys.

To the right of these, and slightly up, you will find two more keys. The upper one, which curves

in slightly, is the Power key and beneath it is the Eject key, used to eject CDs from the drive slot.

Note that the CD will not fall when being ejected.

On the right side of the unit, from back to front, you will find the power input jack (identified

with 3 embossed lines) used to connect to an electrical outlet, a line out jack (identified with 2

embossedlines) used to connect to a sound system, a remote jack (identified with a single

embossed line) also called foot switch jack to connect to a pedal control (optional) for hands-free

Play/Stop, Rewind function and, finally near the front is the earphones jack that can also be used

for an external speaker.

On the front side of the unit you will find the CD-ROM slot drive.

This completes the physical description. Now let's see how easy it is to use the features.

To insert and play a new book

Turn On Victor Reader by pressing and holding the power key, which is located above the eject

key on the face of the unit. You will hear a beep and a Welcome message.

Insert your CD in the slot, which is located on the front side of the unit. Gently push the CD

forward. The drive mechanism will take over and finish inserting the CD. After a few seconds,

Victor Reader will announce the title and start playing the book.

NOTE: If you accidentally insert a CD upside down, it will be ejected within 15 seconds without

damage.

You can adjust the Tone, Volume, and Speed by pressing the keys up or down. The Tone,

Volume, and Speed control keys are located on the top center of the face.

To move back or forward at high speed in the book, press and hold the Rewind or Fast-Forward

key until you reach the desired spot, then release. The normal play speed will be resumed.

To pause a reading session

To pause a reading session, simply press the Play/Stop key. To resume reading where you left

off, press the Play/Stop key again. Note that if your unit is not connected to a power outlet, and if

it stays in pause mode for more than 30 minutes, it will shut Off automatically to save battery

life.

To end a reading session

To end a reading session, simply turn the unit Off by pressing and holding the power key. Victor

Reader will remember where you left off in the book for your next reading session.

To start a new reading session

To start a new reading session in the same book, turn On your Victor Reader by pressing and

holding the power key. After a few seconds, you will hear the title of the book, a beep and

reading will start where you left off in your last reading session.

To eject a CD

To eject a CD simply press the Ejectkey. Victor Reader will announce Eject and after a few

seconds the motorized mechanism will gently slide the CD out of the drive.

And that's it! Now you know more about how to use Victor Reader. To learn about all the

features in detail, please refer to the following User’s Guide. This will enable you to use the

talking book player to its full potential. For example, you will learn how to skip from page to

page or from chapter to chapter and so on.

We have come to the end of the Getting Started session. HumanWare wishes you many

enjoyable hours of reading, as you get to know Victor Reader better. The User’s Guide will start

in a few seconds.
