>> HumanWare Launches Victor Reader Stream CD Edition
>> Longueuil, Quebec, March 4, 2010 - HumanWare is pleased to announce a new
>> model of its popular Victor Reader Stream portable DAISY, MP3 player and
>> voice recorder. Victor Reader Stream CD Edition combines the worldwide
>> renowned VR Stream and a special CD player accessory.
>> Stream CD Edition is perfect for people who do not have a personal
>> computer. It is the easiest way to transfer a DAISY book on CD onto one
>> single, portable audio playback device without the use of a computer.
>> "We have heard from many people who like the portability of the Victor
>> Reader Stream but who do not use computers", says Gerry Chevalier, Victor
>> Reader Product Manager at HumanWare. "These are customers who receive
>> DAISY CD books in the mail from their library. They tell us they would
>> like to be able to transfer their CD book to the Stream because the
>> Stream would be an ideal player when they are travelling or on the go.
>> However, they also tell us they do not have or want to use a computer.
>> With the Stream CD Edition we are now pleased to offer them a solution."
>> Key Benefits:
>> Ideal for readers who listen to DAISY CD books and do not use a computer
>> Easy to use. Just attach the CD drive to the Stream, load the CD book,
>> and press a single button to copy it to the Stream A short Getting
>> Started audio book explains the steps and plays automatically when you
>> power on the Stream CD Edition. The Stream CD Edition has the full
>> feature set of the standard Stream so if users want to go beyond just
>> listening to their DAISY CD books they can enjoy other types of books and
>> music and even use the voice recorder. All documentation and tutorials
>> are supplied on the SD card.
>>
>>
>> What's in the package?
>> One VR Stream with all the usual accessories (rechargeable battery &
>> charger, ear buds, USB cables, documentation CD and a 2Gb SD card) One VR
>> Stream CD player Accessory especially designed to be used with the Stream
>>
>>
>> The CD player accessory is also available for purchase by existing Stream
>> users who may not have a computer and are relying on others to transfer
>> their CD DAISY books. Only the CD player supplied by HumanWare should be
>> used as other CD drives have been found not to be electrically compatible
>> and can damage the Stream.
