Don't know when or if we will be able to download NLS books but
the new firmware will allow downloding from BookShare though I am
not a member of that so can't test it. Maybe it will happen
since you can download to the Apex from NLS. Jim WA6EKS

I wonder how long before we can download baard books on it?
Although given
that I mostly use the bard app for that now doesn't really matter
much to
me.

Other than the strange anomaly that just happened, I love it.
It's louder then the original one and you can also download stuff
from NFB
newsline directly to it. I hear that come the first of the year,
they will
have an update that will allow us to listen to streaming radio on
it. Can't
wait and hope it works fine.

Great, glad you got it working again?
How do you like the second generation Stream?

Well, that solution didn't help though I tried it. But like I
indicated in
an earlier post, the thing is working again.
Thanks, Jim WA6EKS

This speaker problem is a known issue with the first generation
victor
reader stream. Several people have been able to fix it by
plugging and
unplugging headphones several times.

Jim,
The earphone and speaker volumes are separate. Try turning up
the volume
with the player playing in to the speaker. I have a newer
vrstream ana so
far so good.

Update, I tried an earphone on the Stream and it's working, just
not through
the speaker. It's 100 percent charged. When I plugged in the
headphone,
the volume was all the way down. I tried turning up the volume
while the
thing was playing and unplugged the headphone. Holding down the
up volume
did no good.
Either the part of the computer that controls the speaker is
messed up, the
speaker itself is messed up, or the headphone plug has an issue
with it. My
earlier email is below.
Does anyone on the list have a newer Victor Reader Stream? I
tried to turn
mine on earlier today and it just flat wouldn't boot up. It
wasn't run down
and I charged it even so before trying to turn it on again. I
removed the
battery and pushed the on button, then replaced the battery and
same
results. At present, I have removed the battery and am just
letting it
sit with no power to it. If anyone knows of a way to reset the
thing I'd
like to know. It's a bummer to have a bunch of books to read and
no way to
read them. Jim WA6EKS
