Tony,

Sorry, should have come back on this one.  I did receive the talking remote,
but found it impossible to set up for the machine I wished to use it with.
the instructions appeared to be extremely complicated.  I have had feedback
from other visually impaired customers and we have all sent the remotes back
for a refund.  When inserting the batteries, it does ask you in a reasonably
clear female voice to set the time, which you can do, but it did not seem to
guide me through the setting up process, nor did keys speak when I pressed
them.  this may be partly because I did not manage to set it up correctly,
but I cannot really recommend this product.  the keys are of reasonable
size, but there are a lot of them.  They are mainly in rows of four and I
would guess there to be around fifty buttons altogether although I did not
count them.

Maybe others would have more luck than I did, but I rather doubt it.

My advice would be not to bother.

David

Hello,
I did not see any replies to this, have I missed them, or has no one had
one?
