Talking books are of course not in sterio, but if you put a sterio cd into the PTN1 and connect a pair of headphones or plug in a pair of PC speakers or connect it to an amplifier, you will hear thedisk in sterio. ----- Original Message ----- From: "TrueBlue & Proud" <billy72@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hummm, how can you get Sterio out of a mono machine? if you add two speakers its still Only mono because the machine is mono, true sterioneedsEverything your useing to be sterio. Hope you enjoy your new machine anyway, my problem is probably due to mewearing two hearing-aids and my bad hearing so don't count on my oppinion.Have a good weekend. Christine.
