Newswire:
To his many fans, he is known as the Jazz Man, so you know Steve Bauer is
qualified to demonstrate and discuss the new accessible HD radio produced by
Dice Electronics.
Until now, HD radios have been a disappointment, leaving purchasers with a
severe case of buyer's remorse instead of the improved accessibility they
hoped for. On August 16, Steve will demonstrate an HD radio that is truly
accessible for the blind. If your experience with HD radio has left you
disenchanted, or if you love radio and have always been curious about it and
would like to learn more, he will renew your enthusiasm and leave you eager
to own this one as quickly as you can. After his audio demonstration and
description, Steve will welcome questions from you. What is HD radio? How
does it work? Are there particular concerns you should consider before
buying? What difference will HD radio make in your world of sound? These and
all other questions will be welcome. This is a presentation you can't miss.
A physical description of the radio and its features appears below:
On Monday August 16, 2010, Steve Bauer will address the Tektalk audience to
discuss the new fully accessible AM, FM, and HD radio from Dice Electronics.
Based on the popular DICE iTR-100 tabletop HD Radio, this unit was designed
with special consideration for the visually impaired. Practical voice
prompts and audible feedback have been added which makes operating the
iTR-100 simple and intuitive. Each button press is followed by an audio
queue to help guide the user through actions such as station browsing or
setting up the alarm clock. All buttons and knobs are arranged and spaced
apart with ease of use in mind. The compact size of the unit makes it easy
to enjoy the enhanced noise-free sound quality of HD Radio or RRS (Radio
Reading Service) at home or in your office. Register the radio's serial
number with a local Radio Reading Service provider to access the RRS HD
content.
