[Blindtlk] NlS BARD and the Victor Reader Stream

[Chris Nusbaum]

Thanks, Mike and Ray. I assumed that adding BARD to online services on the
Stream would automatically authorize the device.

Chris:

Ray is correct. Your stream must be authorized in order to play NLS books.
Go to the Bard website and find the link which says authorize a new player.
The procedure is quite simple. You will need the serial number from your
Victor reader stream. It is found by hitting the  info key. Good luck.
