 Updates
for Victor Reader Pro
(800CP)
Version 3.0.7 and 2.2.2
If your Victor Reader Pro is prior to version
2.2.2 then you MUST first upgrade to version 2.2.2 BEFORE upgrading to
3.0.7.
Here are the upgrade steps which should work with
most CD burning programs (like Eazy CD or Nero).
1. Download the file according to the language you
want in the list following the instructions.
2. Execute the auto decompression by clicking on the
file.
3. Use the file to make a CD, using the "make a CD
from an image file and/or burn image" option. (Note: Don't drag the .iso
file into the file list as you would normally do when you make a regular
CD because it will not work properly.
4. Insert that CD into an AC-powered Victor Reader
Classic and follow the spoken instructions. At the end of the update,
the player will power off without ejecting the CD. Power on the unit
again then the update CD will eject.
Please note the following modifications in the spoken
instructions: press the play-stop key rather than the confirm key and
press the eject key rather than the cancel key.

Victor Reader Pro Version 3.0.7 Features:
Version 3.0.7 is the latest firmware release for the Victor Reader Pro
DAISY CD player.
1. Support of DAISY 3 NISO Digital Talking Books
Most DAISY book producers now supply DAISY
version 2 books and are considering the production of books in the
new ANSI/NISO Z39.86 standard also referred to as DAISY 3. The
Victor Reader Pro will now support DAISY 3 NISO audio books if your
book producer provides them. For more information on the DAISY 3
NISO standards please visit:
http://www.niso.org/standards/resources/Z39-86-2002.html
2. Improved Playback of Non DAISY CD’s
- Ability to play a wider variety of MP3 books and
audio files
- Ability to play Blackstone commercial audio
books
- Ability to play MP3 files stored in nested
sub-folders. There is no limit to the nesting level other than the
maximum file path length cannot exceed 512 characters. You can
navigate the MP3 tree structure at folder or file level.
- Ability to play M3U play lists
- Save Current Position: Victor will now save the
current playback position of non DAISY audio files when you power
off.
3. Book Navigation Improvements
- Accelerated Fast Forward and Rewind: the
movement of the Fast Forward and Rewind keys will accelerate the
longer you hold the keys down. For the first 3 seconds, movement is
as before. For each 3 seconds you continue to hold the keys you will
move forward or backward 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes,
15 minutes, and so on. The largest jump is 5 minutes for each 3
seconds the key is held down. Victor will announce the time jumps.
- Fixed Time Jump: A new time jump mode has been
added to the navigation levels selected with the up/down keys. While
in Time Jump mode you will move backward or forward by 1 minute
jumps for each press of the left or right arrow key.
- Page Jump: While in page navigation mode you can
now press and hold the left or right arrow key to jump backward or
forward 10 pages at a time.
- Goto Heading: If you press the GoTO Page button
twice you will select the new Goto Heading feature. This is useful
for books which do not have page navigation and you want to jump
randomly. For example, suppose a book has chapters marked as level 1
headings but it has no page markers. You could jump directly to a
chapter by going to its relative heading number rather than having
to advance sequentially through the headings.
- INFO key Total Headings: To support the new Goto
Heading feature, the INFO key reports the total number of headings
in the book.
- End of Book: If you are positioned at the end of
the book and press the Play key, Victor will automatically go to the
beginning of the book.
4. User Features
- SLEEP message: Previously, when Victor powered
off at the end of the SLEEP timer, it would issue two loud beeps. If
you did happen to fall asleep, you could be awakened by these loud
beeps. Victor will now simply announce, “Sleep off” when it powers
off. It will also announce a warning message when only 1 minute of
SLEEP time remains.
- Save Settings: When Victor powers off, it will
save your current settings for tone, volume, and speed for the next
playback session. .
- INFO Key Title: The INFO key will now report the
book title.
- Low Battery Warning: The power spike required to
spin up the CD sometimes falsely triggered this warning even though
considerable battery life remained. To avoid confusion this early
battery warning message has been removed.
