Ray & Christine, I've just received my Plexter PTN1 player, and I am still finding my way around the machine, but already I love it. I resolved the sound
quality problem, by adding a pair of external speakers, and that made a great difference to the audio sound quality, I'm now listening to my music tracks & audio books in wonderful stereo sound.

Interesting comment Christine, especially as I don't actually have a Plexter PTN1 player. I imagine you are influenced as much as anything by being someone with substantial hearing loss as to the sound quality, which is interesting. Must say though that comments on the RNIB Arena list have been generally favourable towards the PTN1. Not long back RNIB put out some questions about improvements to the PTN1 asking what we most wanted. No one as I recall came up with much, if anything. Since though I have felt the need for information about the amount of time until the end of the chapter you're listening to, which would help to decide whether to carry on listening or pause where you are. My Victor Classic is the original one, and the battery life with that was and is abysmal. I believe later models were better in this respect.

I Hate it! So what's better about the newer version? By the way, I didn't have a problem with the victor readers batteries, they lasted me 4 years before they gave up the ghost! lol Groups I own: Please visit my DeafBlind group on: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DeafBlindFriends/ Or subscribe at: DeafBlindFriends-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Also Please visit: My new group papercrafts AroundTheTable Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PapercraftsAroundTheTable or subscribe at: papercraftsAroundTheTable-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Christine W. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray's Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Billy, please keep me informed about how you find the PTN1 as Ithinki should now be asking for my fairly aged Victor Classic to be replaced. You will find at the very least the battery life is much greaterthanthe Classic. How the Classic ever got released with such poorbatterylife is beyond me. I have always hoped that someone, if not Plextor, would see fit to release a dual card/CD player, but it seems you have to go for the PTR2 if that's what you want. Sometimes it seems that Plextor might not be in the accessibleplayerand recorder market for long to judge by what some have said about their support. Let's hope that's not true as a propper choice of propper stirdy DAISY players aren't that plentiful.
