Hi Daman,

See the answer from George on this one.  I had been told that the
material could not be coppied from the disk onto another disk or hard
disk and read using a daisy player, as Sarah says the Daisy data is
encrypted but it is too expensive on processor time (especially on a
hardware player) to encrypt the audio, so you would hear the audio part,
but in filename order not in the order that was meant to be played.
This is similar to the RFBD system, but in that case the AUK is on the
player itself not on the disk.

Andrew.

Andrew ...

Important question that you or others might be able to answer.

I'm thinking here about the NLB synthetic voice book pilot that they're
running.  

When you put the disk in, a spoken message tells you that it's searching
for an authorisation key.  Would this key be different if you installed
the US version firmware?  Does it search for the same authorisation key
no matter where you are on the planet?  Or is this more tied to the
country you're in for copyright reasons?  

Thanks

Hi Billy,

If you have one of the newer players, then the update is applicable to
you.  These are the players with buttons and not knobs to choose speed,
volume etc.  If you have the older player with knobs, do not even think
of using this update:

http://www.visuaide.com/update/victorupdateclas102.en.html

If you have the older player, it is on firmware 2.2.4, which most people
have as its a year or two old now.  It can be obtained from:

http://www.visuaide.com/update/victorupdateclas100.en.html

There is a new version of the firmware which will be coming out soon for
the older player.

Note as I said on the daisy-users list, its only available in American
prompts currently since the UK prompts have not been updated to reflect
the changes.

Andrew.
