The face of the player can be divided into three sections:
In the upper section is a speaker on the left corner and built-in microphone on the
right corner.
The middle section contains a telephone-style numeric key pad with a raised dot on
the number 5
key. This numeric key pad is used to move through the structure of a book as well
as enter bookmark, page, or heading numbers. Above the
1 key is the Go To Page key. The Go To Page
key allows you to go directly to a desired page. Above the
3 key is the Bookmark key. It is used to insert bookmarks at reading positions that
you want to return to later. Between the Go To Page
and Bookmark keys is a green LED indicator. This LED glows steady when the Stream is powered on and blinks while the Stream is off and recharging the battery.
The bottom section contains the Play/Stop key, which is located between the Rewind
and Fast Forward key. Above the Play/Stop key, is the Sleep key.
There is a raised line below the numeric key pad and above the Sleep key to separate
the middle and bottom sections.
On the left side of the player, near the top corner, is the Power/Toggle button. You press and hold this button to power on and off the player. When the player is on, you press this same Power button to toggle the volume, speed and tone/pitch settings. Below the Power button are two triangular buttons. These are the Up and Down buttons used to increase or decrease the respective volume, speed or tone selected with the toggle button. These settings are saved between sessions. For your convenience, separate volume settings are saved for each of the built-in speaker and headphones.
On the right side of the player, near the top corner, is the earphones jack which can also be used to connect external speakers. Next to it is the microphone jack. Halfway down the right side between two rough surfaces is the Record button which is red and has a raised dot in the middle.
Located on the top edge, on the left corner is a mini-USB connector. This is used to access books on USB storage devices using the included USB cables. Next to it, in the middle, is the SD memory card slot. On the right is the power input jack. Plug one end of the power adapter into the power input jack and the other into an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.
The battery compartment is located in the back of the player. To remove the battery door, press on the finger pads and slide the door down and off. You may also find
it easier to grip the player around the curved bottom end with your fingers on the
key pad and the heel of your palm on the battery door. Then squeeze gently against
the door and slide it down and off. You will find a semi-circular opening at the
top center of the battery compartment.
To remove the battery: place your finger in the semi-circular opening and push and
lift the finger tab.
To insert the battery: Find the proper battery orientation. On the bottom edge of
the battery is a bump to the left of the center, and two tabs on either side. The
top edge of the battery has a finger tab in the middle. The top surface of the battery
has a label which covers most of the top face of the battery. This label side must
be up when the battery is inserted. Insert the bottom edge first, making certain
the bump fits in the appropriate opening on the left, and snap the top edge in place.
The top side of the battery with label is facing up.
The battery is designed to fit in only the correct orientation. If you feel any resistance it is likely you have the battery upside down. Secure the battery compartment by sliding the door back on, ensuring it locks in place.
The fully charged battery will provide up to 15 hours playtime. However, battery playtime may be reduced in the following cases:
If the battery is charged for less than 4 hours.
Extensive use of book navigation commands.
High volume level or High Speed playback.
After about 400 recharge cycles the battery capacity will start to reduce.
The battery will automatically recharge if needed whenever the player is plugged
to AC power. If the player is powered Off and plugged in, the power LED indicator
will blink if the battery is recharging. The player can also be used while recharging
but in this case the LED will glow steady instead of blink. A full recharge takes
up to 4 hours.
When the player is not connected to a power outlet, and left in pause mode for more
than 30 minutes, it will shut Off automatically to save the battery.
Important: It is normal for the battery to become warm during recharging. Therefore,
it is recommended not to charge the battery with the player near a heat source or
within the carrying case.
Note: The player's serial number can be found in the top left corner of the battery compartment. The serial number can also be obtained by pressing INFO (key 0).
Your Victor Reader Stream can accommodate an optional USB cartridge holder connected to the back of the player. This optional cartridge holder must be purchased as an accessory. The use of the USB cartridge holder is for those who are eligible to receive books from the NLS (National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped) library in the United States. The NLS library talking books will be distributed on special book cartridges that can be inserted into this holder so they may be played on the Stream if the Stream is authorized to play the NLS books. Note that NLS book cartridges are currently not available and will not be until 2008. In order for the Stream to be authorized the user must be eligible for NLS service and be registered by their local library. Please contact your local library for more information on NLS service eligibility. The cartridge holder includes an integral USB connector to allow the player to access the data on the book cartridge.
If you have not purchased the USB cartridge holder you may still play books on an NLS cartridge or books on a USB memory stick by connecting either to the USB connector on the top left corner of the Stream using the short USB cable provided. The USB cartridge holder is only needed if you wish to have the NLS book cartridge connected to the player without using the cable.
To attach the NLS cartridge holder: Hold the player in one hand with its backside facing up. Make sure the short curved side points towards you. Notice the indentation found in the middle of the short curved side of the player. Align the curved end of the player with the curved end of the cartridge holder. The cartridge holder's notch should fit into the player's indentation. With the notch in place, bring the player and the cartridge holder together. The cartridge holder's two fastening clasps will lock into corresponding slots at the top of the player.
To remove the cartridge holder, simultaneously press the two buttons on the sides of the holder. This will release the fastening clasps and allow you to remove the cartridge holder.
To turn the player On, press and hold the Power key, which is located on the left side of the player, near the top corner. You will hear a beep and a welcome message.
To turn the player Off, press and hold the Power key again. You will hear two beeps
indicating the player is powering Off.
Devices with multiple layers of complex software such as the Stream may become unresponsive if a software lock occurs. If the Stream does not respond to any key presses including power off, hold down the Power button for 7 seconds to force a player hard reset.
To insert and remove the SD card follow these steps:
- Hold the player facing you. The SD card slot is on the top edge of the player in
the centre.
- One corner of the SD card is cut at a 45 degree angle.
This cut corner should be at the bottom left when you insert the card into the player
slot. If the card is not oriented properly it will resist insertion. The card has
a small write-lock tab on its right edge. This tab should be in the down position
if you plan to write information on the card such as recording or deleting voice
notes. If you only listen to books, the tab can be put in the up position to write
protect the SD card.
- Gently push the card down into the slot until it clicks into place. Do not use
excessive force. Only slight pressure is required to lock the SD card into place.
- To remove the card push down on the top edge to release it. Then pull it out.
When playing the contents of an SD card and it is removed from the player, the player will switch to the first book on the USB source (if any) or enter the key describer mode.
If the player is powered on with both an SD card and USB source present, the system
will scan the SD card first and will select the last book played. If the last book
read is not present, it will select the first available book present on the SD card.
If no books are found on the SD card, then the system will scan for books on a USB
source.
The Stream recognizes various book types which are saved in separate folder structures called Bookshelves. You select the Bookshelf you want to read with multiple presses of the Bookshelf ( 1) key. You move backward and forward along each Bookshelf using the 4 and 6 keys. The Bookshelf list is circular. Except for the Notes bookshelf, only the non-empty bookshelves will be announced. On the SD or USB source each Bookshelf is stored within a reserved folder name beginning with “$VR”. Within each of these reserved folders (Bookshelves) there may be user defined subfolders containing separate books or categories of files. You may put other folders and files on the SD card but it is only the contents of the $VR reserved folders that define the Stream bookshelves. Note that when you insert a card that is not write-protected, Stream will automatically create the $VR reserved folders, except for $VRAudible.
The Bookshelf structure and usage are defined as follows:
Bookshelf: Talking Books ($VRDTB folder).
Book types: DAISY 2.x, NISO Z39.86, NIMAS 1.1
Usage: The files comprising each of your DAISY or NISO books should be saved in separate
subfolders under this folder. Use the 4 / 6
keys to move backward and forward between books. Press
PLAY to select the book. In this bookshelf the current reading position and bookmarks
are saved separately for each book.
Bookshelf: Other Books ($VROtherBooks folder).
Book types: Non-DAISY or non-NISO recorded books composed of any of the Stream's
supported audio file types.
Usage: The files comprising each book should be saved in separate subfolders under
this folder. Folders may be nested. Optionally, single-file books may be directly
placed in the root folder. Use the
4 / 6 keys to move between books. Press PLAY
to select the book. In this bookshelf the current reading position and bookmarks
are saved separately for each book. Playback stops at the end of the last file of
each book.
Bookshelf: Audible books ($VRAudible folder)
Book types: audible.com books
Usage: The files comprising each book should be saved in this reserved folder. Subfolders
are optional. Use the 4 / 6 keys to move between books. Press PLAY
to select the book. In this bookshelf the current reading position and bookmarks
are saved separately for each book. Playback stops at the end of the last file of
each book. The Audible bookshelf will only be created when you activate your Stream
for Audible books.
Bookshelf: Music ($VRMusic folder).
Book types: Playlists (M3U type only) and recorded files composed of any of the Stream's
supported audio file types.
Usage: A music book is either a playlist or the entire music structure (referred
to as All Music book). The current reading position and bookmarks are saved separately
for each book. You navigate between music books using the
4 and 6
keys on the bookshelf. The All Music book consists of nested folders containing
audio files. For example, the structure could be genre, artist, album, and tracks.
Navigate the All Music book using
2 / 8
keys to choose folder or file navigation level and then move within that level using
4 / 6 keys. Playback continues from the last file of one folder to the first file
of the next folder. Random play mode (set with Menu 7
) applies only to the Music books.
Bookshelf: Podcasts ($VRPodcasts)
Book types: Any of the Stream's supported audio file types.
Usage: Each podcast file is defined as a separate book meaning you must move from
file to file using the 4 or 6
keys while in the Bookshelf. Files may be in subfolders. Reading position and bookmarks
are saved separately for each book (file). Playback stops at the end of each book
(file).
Bookshelf: Text ($VRText folder).
Book types: Text files (txt, rtf, html, xml, brf).
Usage: Each text file is defined as a separate book meaning you must move from file
to file using the 4 or 6
keys while in the Bookshelf. Files may be in subfolders. Reading position and bookmarks
are saved separately for each book (file). Playback stops at the end of each book
(file). Note: If your Braille file (.brf) is not playing correctly, check that you
have selected the correct Braille translation table in the configuration menu (Key 7).
The Stream may create other file names beginning with “$VR” on the SD. Removing or altering these files could result in unpredictable behavior.
To connect Stream to your PC, turn the Stream's power off, connect one end of the long USB cable to the mini-USB on the top left edge of the Stream and the other end to your PC's USB port. Then turn the Stream back On. Windows will recognize the Stream SD card as a USB drive and you can then use Windows Explorer to transfer files back and forth. If you have an SD card reader on your PC, it will be faster to transfer files using the PC's SD card reader than using the USB cable with Stream. If you are not familiar with file transfers using Windows Explorer you may want to try installing the optional Stream companion software provided on your Stream CD. It has a separate User Guide also found on the CD.
The Stream must remain powered on while connected to the PC. While connected, its controls will not function. When you disconnect from the PC, you will need to power
off the Stream.
You can switch SD cards in the Stream while connected but before removing the SD
or disconnecting the Stream be sure to use the Safely Remove Hardware function on
the Windows System Tray.
When the Stream is on, press the Power button on the top left side to toggle volume, speed, or tone/pitch settings. After 10 seconds of non-use, the toggle control will return to Volume. Use the up / down arrows on the left side just below the Power button to raise or lower the selected setting. There is a beep to mark the upper and lower range of each control. If the book is not playing, STREAM will announce the setting position. For tone/pitch and speed there is also a beep to mark the normal or 0 position. This indicates a flat tone setting, a normal pitch or normal speed setting. Note that the Pitch setting replaces Tone for Text-To-Speech books. The Pitch setting used does not affect the Tone setting used for recorded audio books.
The Stream will remember separate Speed settings for both TTS and audio playback. You can change the speed of one without affecting the other. All recorded audio books will play at the same speed. The same will apply to all books using Text-to-Speech.
Note that music files are not affected by this as their speed is always set to normal
by default.
For the Music bookshelf, the Tone setting is replaced with Bass and Treble controls. Press the Power button to toggle between Volume, Speed, Bass, and Treble. To alter the lower frequencies select the Bass control and either add bass by setting the control to a positive value or remove bass by selecting a setting below zero. Similarly, you can add or remove treble. Adding or removing bass will not alter the treble and vice versa.
To hear the music unaltered, set the bass and treble controls to their 0 setting.
To start playing a book, press the Play/Stop key.
To stop playing a book, press the Play/Stop key again.
NOTE: Like the Pound key, you can also press
Play/Stop
to confirm an operation or end a numeric entry. If you confirm or end with
Play/Stop
then playback will start at the same time.
These keys allow you to go backward or forward quickly.
Press and hold the Rewind or Fast Forward key until you reach the desired spot, the
movement of the Rewind or Fast Forward
keys will accelerate the longer you hold the key down. For each three seconds you
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. Between each three
second jump, Stream will announce the time jump and play a normal speed clip.
If you simply press and release Fast Forward or Rewind instead of holding it down,
playback will jump forward or backward by 5 seconds.
When an SD or USB source is present, press and hold the Info (0) key to access the Key Describer Mode. Press and hold the Info key again to exit the Key Describer Mode
When no SD or USB source is present, the Key Describer mode will be activated automatically. While in Key Describer mode you may press any key to hear its function.

Stream allows you to navigate by chapter, section, page, time jump, paragraph, or any other existing indexed element defined by the producer of the book.
Use the 2 and 8 keys to choose a navigation level. These differ from book to book but typically level 1 means chapter, level 2 means section, and level 3 means sub-section and so
on. The page element may not be present on all books. The phrase level is usually
the smallest navigation element but this is defined by the book producer. First,
choose a navigation level (chapter, page, etc.), using the
2 and 8 keys. Then use the 4 and 6
keys to move backward and forward between elements at the selected level. The
2 and 8 keys will announce only the levels available for the book. The phrase is
always provided but its extent depends on the book producer.
Pressing Cancel (star) within 10 seconds of any single move backwards or forwards using keys 4 or 6 will undo the operation and return you to your current position. The Undo function does not apply to the Rewind or Fast Forward buttons.
Time Jump navigation can be selected using the 2 and 8 keys. Press the key 4 to move Backward or the key 6 to move Forward by the jump interval. The Time Jump interval can be set at 1, 5, 10 minutes using the Menu key (7).
When Stream is in Text-to-speech mode there will be additional text navigation levels added to the up / down (2 / 8) key rotation. These include the text elements: screen, paragraph, line, sentence, word, spell and character. Screen and line elements are defined arbitrarily as 25 lines per page and a maximum of 80 characters per line. As with other navigation levels, you move between elements of the selected level using the 4 / 6 (left / right) keys. Note that the Screen element will only be available when no pages are defined in the book.
Spell mode can be selected using the 2 and 8 keys. The Spell mode can be found between the Word and character navigation levels. Use keys 4 and 6 to move word by word. Stream will announce the word and spell it. Note that capital letters are indicated and that words will be spelled at normal speed, regardless of TTS speed setting.
Stream supports the following skippable elements: Footnote, Page number, Production note and Sidebar.
Skippable element can be set as Play, Skip or On Demand, see the Configuration Menu
chapter for details. When a skippable element is encountered during playback, Stream
behaves as follows:
Play: The element is always played.
Skip: The element is never played.
On Demand: The element is not played but added to the recall list and the element’s
name is announced. Note that the On Demand option is not available for page and
line number elements.
On Demand skippable elements can be recalled with the Pound key. Stream remembers up to 5 skipped On Demand elements. The last added element will be the first to be recalled. Pressing the Pound key multiple times will recall the prior element in the list. When an element is recalled, the name of the element is played and playback starts at the beginning of the element. When the end of the element is reached, the message “ Return to text” is played and the book position will return to where it was when the Pound key was pressed.
During the playback of a recalled element, the user may press Cancel (Star key) to quit playing the recalled element and return to the main text of the book.
Press the Bookshelf (1) key multiple times to rotate through the circular list of Bookshelves. With the exception of Notes, empty bookshelves will not be announced. Bookshelves contain different types of books and files as defined in the section, Bookshelf Structure. You move backward and forward along a Bookshelf using the 4 and 6 keys. Press the Go To key (above key 1) to enter a relative book number. End the book number entry with the Confirm (Pound key) to move to the entered book number and remain on the bookshelf. When you reach the desired book press Confirm or Play to open it. Press Play to have Stream start to play from where you left off in the selected book.
When not in the bookshelf, you can access the built-in user guide at any time by pressing and holding key 1. Press and hold 1 again to exit.
When browsing bookshelves you can delete an entire book by pressing the 3 key. For Talking Books and Other Books this will delete the entire subfolder containing the book. For Audible, Podcasts, and Text files the Delete book function removes the single book file. While Browsing the files in the All Music book, you can press the 3 key to delete a single file. You may not however delete a playlist. While browsing the Notes book you can press the 3 key to delete a single Note file. Press 3 to delete the selected item and Stream will ask you to confirm. Press the Pound key to delete or any other key to cancel the delete.
The Where am I key will announce your reading position without interrupting the reading process. Depending on the book type, Stream will announce one or more of the page and heading numbers, section title, or file name. For Other books, music and Podcasts, Where am I will announce the individual file total time, elapsed time and time remaining. Reading will resume once this information is given.
Where am I tag information
For mp3 music and Podcast files, if you press Where am I (key 5) twice, the Stream
will announce ID3 tags data. If you don't want to hear all the tags, press Play
to interrupt and resume playback.
For Audible books, if you press Where am I (key 5) twice, the Stream will announce additional information about the book. If you don't want to hear the information press Play to interrupt announcement and return to playback.
There are two types of Playback modes available: Recorded audio and Text-To-Speech (TTS). For DAISY or NISO books with full text/full audio, use the 9 key to switch back and forth between the recorded audio and the same position in the equivalent electronic text. The synchronization depends on the book producer but typically text and audio are synchronized to the paragraph or sentence element. The last used playback mode is saved between reading sessions. Only the modes available for the selected book will be available for selection with the 9 key. If the book is only recorded or only text then the appropriate mode is automatically selected and the 9 key has no choices available.
The Pound key allows you to confirm an operation or end a numeric entry such as a page number.
The Star key allows you to cancel an operation.
If you press and hold the Star key it will also lock the key pad. To unlock, press
keys 1, 2, and 3
in sequence. There is one exception to the keyboard locking and it is the hard reset.
This will always be available so while holding down the
Power key for 2 seconds will not power down the player, keeping the key held for the required hard reset time will still perform a hard reset on release.
The Info (0) key announces book, player, and battery information. There are two ways to access the information.
Press the Info (0) key. All information items will be announced. Or press the Info
(0) key and press key 4 or 6
to move backward or forward through the items. You can also press the
Info (0) key repeatedly to move through each item.
To cancel the Info messages, press the Star or Play keys.
You can also press and hold the Info key to enter and exit Key Describer Mode.

The Go to Page function allows you to go directly to a desired page.
Press the Go to Page key, the upper one in the left column. Enter a page number.
Press the Pound key to go to the selected Page, Stream will confirm the entered Page number. Or press the Play/Stop key to have Stream start playback from the chosen page.
To cancel, press the Cancel (Star) key.
If you press the Go to Page key twice it allows you to enter a heading number relative to the start of a DAISY or NISO book. This is useful for books that do not have page markers. For example,
you could jump directly to a chapter by going to its heading number rather than advancing
chapter by chapter.
End your heading number entry with the Pound key to move to that heading or end with
Play to move and start playback.
If you are browsing the Bookshelf the Go to Page key becomes a Go to Book key allowing you to enter a relative book number on a given Bookshelf which is useful for Bookshelves that contain many books.
The Stream has a Go To Time feature for the Other Books, Audible, Podcasts, and Audio Notes bookshelves. While in these bookshelves press the Go To key above key 1 until you hear, “Go To Time”. Then enter a time in hours and minutes relative to the start of the book or audio note. The last 2 digits of the entry represent minutes and the other digits represent hours. Note that the minutes can range from 00 to 99. For example: Enter 1 to position 1 minute from the start of the book or note Enter 12 to position 12 minutes from the start Enter 123 or 83 for 1 hour 23 minutes Enter 1200 for 12 hours and 0 minutes
You can use Stream for voice recordings which are called audio notes. These notes will be saved on the SD memory card in the $VRNotes folder. Each recording is assigned an incremental numeric filename. You can record using either the built-in microphone or an external microphone plugged into the microphone jack just below the headphone jack. The built-in microphone is omnidirectional which is useful for recording meetings or lectures while an external directional microphone may be better for recording interviews.
There are two ways of recording notes. You can either use the quick-record feature or use the standard procedure.
To quick-record a note at any point, press and hold the Record
button located on the right side of the player. A message and beep will be heard.
Talk into the player's integrated microphone (located on the upper right corner)
or into an external microphone. To end quick recording, release the
Record button.
To record a long message, press the Record button located on the right side of the
player to start the recording. To pause and restart recording, press the Play/Stop
button. Press the Bookmark key during the recording to insert a bookmark. To end
the recording, press the Record button again. Press the Star
key to cancel the recording.
To listen to your audio notes use the Bookshelf (key 1) to find the Notes bookshelf. Press Play or Confirm to enter the Notes bookshelf. Then, use the 4 and 6 keys to move from note to note. There is only one level of notes so nested folder navigation is not possible. Voice memos are encoded using the AMR-WideBand+ (AMR-WB+) audio codec. If you wish to access these files using your computer, you will need to download a AMR-WB+ decoder or convert the audio notes to wav files using the Stream Companion software. Note that one hour of recording requires approximately 9.1 megabytes of storage space.
Bookmarks allow you to return to a place quickly and easily. You can place a virtually unlimited number of bookmarks in the same book. The Bookmark key lets you insert and return to bookmarks, hear them listed or remove them.
Press the Bookmark key, once or until you hear ‘go to bookmark’. Enter the number of the bookmark you wish to go to. Press the Pound key. Stream will go to the bookmark and announce its number. Or, press the Play/Stop key. Stream will go to the requested bookmark and begin playback.
Press the Bookmark key, twice or until you hear ‘insert bookmark’. You can also access this function by holding the Bookmark
key down instead of pressing it twice. Enter the number from 1 to 99998 that you
wish to assign to the Bookmark. Press the
Pound key to confirm or the Play/Stop
key to confirm and start playback. The bookmark will be stored in memory.
NOTE: If you confirm without entering a number, Stream will assign the first available
bookmark number.
NOTE: If you enter
99999 as the bookmark number, an invalid entry message will be announced and the
action will be cancelled, since this number is reserved to remove all bookmarks.
See Remove Bookmark.
You may even insert a simple bookmark while recording a long audio note. This would be useful to mark an important comment made during a lecture or meeting that you are recording. To set a bookmark while recording simply press the Bookmark key once. You will hear a beep indicating the bookmark was set. Note that you cannot insert a bookmark during a quick recording (while holding down the Record key).
To record an audio bookmark, do the following:
a) Press the Bookmark key twice or until you hear ‘insert bookmark’.
b) Enter the number you wish to assign to the Bookmark. You may skip this step
and a number will be assigned automatically.
c) Press and hold the Record key and recite a short message. Then release the
Record key. Or press the Record
key once, recite your message, and then press
Record again to end the recording. In this case, the Play
key can be used to pause and resume recording. Note that audio bookmark recordings
are limited to 1 minute in length. Also, to playback your audio bookmark simply go
to or browse to that bookmark. You will hear your recording and then playback will
continue at the bookmarked position. Unlike audio notes, you cannot fast forward
or rewind within your audio bookmark recording.
d) To cancel, press the Star key. This is not available when using Quick record.
Audio bookmarks are limited to a maximum of one minute. If the one-minute limit is
reached the recording is stopped and the bookmark is saved. Audio bookmarks may be
recorded during the playback of books or audio notes. The bookmark will be stored
in memory and the associated recording will be stored on the SD card in a reserved
folder named $VRAudioBkm. You should not modify any files within this folder. The
recorded files are linked to the simple bookmarks in internal memory. The recorded
file name format is x_y_z.3GP where x is the first 13 characters of the book title
text, y is an 8-character computer generated unique book i.d, and z is a 6 digit
bookmark number. For bookmarks placed in MP3 files or audio notes there is no book
title. In these cases, x will be “Other______”, “music___”, or “AudioNote____”, respectively.

its highlight bookmark number becomes unavailable. Stream will announce
“Bookmark "X" already exists” if the user enters a regular bookmark with this number.
NOTE: If you remove the book or power off the Stream
before closing the highlight, highlight will be auto-completed. If this occurs,
the current location will be used as the end highlight position.
When going to a highlight bookmark, If you end the bookmark number entry with the Play/Stop key, playback will start from this current position and stop at the
highlight bookmark ending position
. If the Confirm key was used, Stream will position at the bookmark but not play. While playing the highlighted passage you can jump to the beginning by tapping the
Rewind key. At the end of the highlight you can play it again by tapping Rewind.
When a highlight bookmark is reached with the bookmark list, playback will stop at the highlight bookmark ending position
. A highlight that was started but hasn’t been closed yet will not be listed.
When deleting a highlight bookmark, the "Highlight bookmark "X" removed" message will be announced. It is possible to delete a highlight bookmark that was started but not closed. This action reverts the highlight bookmark state to Start.
Press the Bookmark key, four times or until you hear ‘bookmark list’.
Press the key 4 or key 6
to go from one bookmark to the next. Each time you press the key, you will hear
the number of the next bookmark and playback will begin. Press the
Pound key to confirm the current position and continue play.
Press the Star key to exit the Bookmark list.
NOTE: The bookmark list always contains one bookmark for the beginning and end of book.
Bookmarks are sorted by their position in the book not by the bookmark number.
Press the Bookmark key, five times or until you hear ‘remove bookmark’. Enter the number of the Bookmark you wish to remove. Press the Pound key to confirm.
To remove all the Bookmarks in a book, first press the Bookmark key five times or

When Audible Manager activates the Stream it will create a new reserved Stream folder named $VRAudible in the root of the Stream SD card. It will place a hidden system (.SYS) activation file in that $VRAudible folder which you must not delete. If you want to save Audible books on multiple SD cards you will need to activate each SD card separately. All Audible books must also be saved in this $VRAudible folder. To transfer Audible books you may either use the Audible Manager with the Stream connected or use Windows Explorer to transfer the .aa Audible book file from the Audible downloads folder on your computer directly to the $VRAudible folder on the SD card. If you use Windows Explorer for the file transfer you can take advantage of the faster transfer speed of your computer card reader.

However, you can delete individual files from the All Music book.
The following list provides an example of how music files may be grouped in folders. Folders are numbered in the order in which they are found starting with the root of $VRMusic, assuming it contains files.

The text files can be either in the root of $VRText or organized into sub-folder categories.
Bookshelf Browse: Use keys 4 and 6 to move between each text file or Go To Book to jump to a specified file number. Use key 3 to Delete a text file.
Reading: Playback stops at the end of each file. The navigation levels on keys 2
or 8 include: page (if page markers are in the file), screen (if no page markers), paragraph,
line, sentence, word, spell, and character. Go To Page is available if the file has
page markers. Go To Percent (see below) is also available.
INFO (key 0): Reports information for the current text file such as its size.
Where Am I (key 5): Reports current position as a percentage from the start of the
file.
For html/xml files that have heading tags (H1 to H6 these will correspond to equivalent navigation levels 1 to 6 on the 2/8 menu. Be aware that some html/xml files do not use these heading tags consistently. For example, the file may have an H1 and H3 heading with no H2 heading. In this case the Stream will present only level 1 and level 3 on the 2/8 menu. Also, an html/xml file could have a single H1 heading for a title with no other H1 tags in the file. In this case, Stream would jump to the end of the file if you pressed right arrow (key 6) after choosing level 1 navigation.
When reading files in the Text Bookshelf, the Go to Page key will become a Go To Percent key for navigating to relative positions x% from the start of the file.
Press Go To Percent and then enter a percentage from 0 to 100. Press the Pound or Confirm key to position to that relative position in the file or press Play
to position and start playback at that relative position. For example, entering
0 will position to the start of the file, entering 50 will position to the middle
of the file, and entering any number greater than 99 will position to the end of
the file. Note that for relative file positions of 1% to 99%, Stream will position
to the start of the paragraph the specified position lies in. Thus, after you move
to a percentage position, the
Where Am I may report a slightly different percentage than you specified.
