Judy,
I have a Victor Classic without the recorder. It is a fine rugged playback
machine. I also have a PTR1 and find its recording possibilities just great.
I think the Victor speaker is better but I am recording hours of mp3 programs
onto disks with the Plextalk. plextalk also allows one to record onto a disk
directly through the use of the internal mike or an external microphone. I
love the Plextalk.

I have seen the Victor classic in this country, but I haven't seen the
plextalk player. Could someone please comment on the differences between the
two players and state which one seems to be most rugged?
Thanks,
Judy

Hi Jamie,
This has been very helpful. Thank you for your comments. I'm always a
little weary when faced with new, or new-ish technology, even if it is somewhat
similar to what I've used before. I discovered that you can find out the
battery status in the PTN1. That, I find, very useful. I assume the PTR1
would have this feature too. Unless the batteries in PTR1's are not internal
ones. It's very useful to know that I can take out the current CD I'm listening
to and still, not lose my place when I get back to it. I'll remember that when
listening to future talking books with the PTN1.
This is wetting my appetite to find out more about the PTR1 and, whether
I'd could make use of such a machine.
Thanks again,
Justin

Justin,
Firstly, as Andrew says, it sounds like you have been given a Plextalk
PTN1 and not a PTR1. This would be entirely correct if the player was supplied
through the RNIB Talking Books Service as the only two models currently being
distributed are the PTN1 and the Victor Classic.
In terms of re-charging your battery, you can charge the unit either with
the unit switched on or, probably better if you are not wanting to use it, with
the unit switched off.
To my knowledge, you certainly can turn off the unit with the disc in it
without doing any damage to the unit or the CD. It is, however, probably good
practice to take the CD out and store it properly. Don't forget that you won't
loose your place as the PTN1 will remember where it last was in the title you
were reading.
Hope this helps.
Jamie

Hi everyone,
I've just received the ptr1 machine from RNIb's talking book service. It
was a replacement for the Victor Reader Classic that I've been using for a long
while.
I just have two questions about the ptr1.
I have, what i think is, the basic version, or home version. Doesn't
have as many buttons on the player than the pro version.
Anyway, firstly, I want to know about battery life care.
I listened to the audio CD instructions and it said that the player
should be recharged for four hours after being run down.
Now, what is the best way to recharge the ptr1 battery? Once the battery
needs charging, would I just switch the player on, leave it in standby mode to
charge for those four hours?
I never new how to recharge the victor reader classic, lol.
Secondly, like the Victor reader, is it OK to leave CD in the ptr1 when
switching it off? That is, if I'm still listening to a book and, want to
listen to some more later on, can I leave the CD where it is before switch off,
or must I remove the CD?
I know, the second question is so terribly basic. However, I do wanna
take particular care of this new player I'm renting. It's very smart indeed,
probably more expensive than the previous players I've loaned from RNIB.
Thanks for any advice.
all the best,
Justin
