Button Problems<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello Marietta, <BR><BR><BR><BR>I was one
of the first 100 people to test the prototype units last year. I <BR>do not
seem to recall having faced this particular problem. Can you see if <BR>other
patrons are facing this issue? I would suggest the following tests to <BR>see
if the problem is reproduceable. There are two things you want to
<BR>discount: 1) user error and 2) individual machine issues.
<BR><BR><BR><BR>You'll need at least two patrons with the same machine type to
test this to <BR>make sure you're doing this in a controlled manner.
<BR><BR><BR><BR>1. With the patron who's having this particular issue:
<BR><BR>Call and have him start playing a book. Make certain the unit is
plugged <BR>in. <BR><BR>2. Once the book is playing, have him press the sleep
button until the <BR>timer is set to 45 minutes. <BR><BR>3. Instruct him to
leave the unit alone and not touch it at all. <BR><BR>4. You can hang up the
call and call later. <BR><BR>5. Call him about 40-42 minutes later and observe
what happens at <BR>about the time that the timer is set to expire. <BR><BR>6.
Follow the same procedure for additional user(s). The more users <BR>you have
who can confirm this behavior, the better it is.
<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Changing volume or speed should not affect the sleep
timer. Either this is <BR>a firmware issue or something is happening with this
particular unit. Let's <BR>try and understand whether any user behavior is
affecting this or not. <BR><BR><BR><BR>If you have the time or the patience,
perhaps you may want to try to have a <BR>second set of tests done with the
patrons changing speed and volume during <BR>the 45 minutes when the unit is
running. <BR><BR><BR><BR>Hope this helps. Please feel free to give me a call
if you have any <BR>questions at 347-772-8355. <BR><BR><BR><BR>Regards,
<BR><BR><BR><BR>Pratik <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>From:

<BR><BR><BR><BR>Hello: <BR><BR><BR><BR>A patron states that, though he sets
the NLS Standard DTB player to stop <BR>after 45 minutes (using the
crescent-shaped Sleep Button, pressing it three <BR>times) he has never
succeeded in using the function. He wakes up hours <BR>later, and the book
seems never to have stopped playing. He would like to <BR>know whether any
other DTB users have experienced this problem. He also <BR>wonders whether
changing the volume, or using any other buttons after he has <BR>set the Sleep
button would affect the setting, or cause it to be changed.
<BR><BR><BR><BR>Any thoughts on this issue would be most appreciated.
