Yesterday, someone on this list reported that, when reading a note, the machine didn't properly adjust the volume up or down. I experimented with this, and found that if one adjusts the volume while reading anote, the device pauses reading where you are, though still thinks it is reading. The volume is, indeed adjusted, but one must press two to stop, then again to start back the reading. It doesn't announce the louder or softer prompt, but the volume is clearly adjusted. Good luck quashing this one. Jeremiah
