To clarify, you don't have to wait for shutdown after stopping an audio
file, unless the speech is distorted or silent. If you don't want to
wait, just press 2 twice; this will often clear things up.

This is not specific to your Book Port, but rather an issue that has
been with us since the beginning. If you wait for the double-beep
shutdown, then you will be able to press any key thereafter, and it
should work.

Hi,
All I can add is that I am not using a beta version of the firmware
and
the
3 lock up's that I have had since purchasing my BP have been when
playing
audible books or other MP3's. I am wondering if you have to wait
while the
BP turns off after pressing the stop button before you can safely
press any
buttons?
I've also notice the BP's speech synth getting garbled if you don't
wait for
it to go off after listening to audible books.

I've encountered somewhat similar problems during the current beta
cycle.
Thus far, I can't pin them down enough to provide any meaningful
documentation of how or when they occur.

Hi Doug,
No I am absolutely sure that wasn't the case. When I lock mine it
beeps
when I press any keys and there was no sound at all. I always know
which
way the BP is positioned before I touch it.
Thanks
Rick

Rick,
My guess is that you had the BP upside down and pressed the 1 and 3
keys,
which is the command to lock the system. I have done this a couple of
times
myself.
