Frequently Asked Questions
For your convenience, Stratus remembers separate volume settings for the built-in speaker and the headphones. This means you can set one volume level that is comfortable for the headphones and a different volume level that you prefer for the built-in speaker. When you remove the headphones Stratus will reset to the last volume level you set for the speaker and when you plug the headphones back in Stratus will reset to the level you last set for the headphones.
Approximately 10 hours for continuous play of recorded DAISY books on CD.
With Stratus models, stop playback near the start of the heading, page, or file that you want to bookmark. Press the Where Am I key to determine the heading, page, or file number. Then press the Go To key to the left of key 1 to select the appropriate function: Go To Page, Go To Heading, or Go To File. Enter the number and then press the Confirm (pound) key. Stratus will position precisely at the start of the entered page, heading, or file but playback will not start. Now insert your bookmark.
If you have any DAISY talking books in the root of your SD card, then Stratus will not look for any other files in the root. If you want to have talking books in the root you must put music files in $VRMusic folder and any non-structured MP3 books in $VROtherBooks.
Download the Bookshare zip book to your computer. Use Windows to extract the book files from the zip file into a folder on your computer. Then copy the folder to the $VRDTB folder on your SD card. The only files that are required are the four that end with .NCX, .OPF, .SMIL, and .XML. However, it is ok to copy the entire folder as the extra files will not affect book playback. Also, instead of using Windows, you may also use the HumanWare Companion software to transfer Bookshare zip books. The Companion will automatically unzip the book and create the folder on the SD card. Indeed, using the Bookshare Web Service item on the Online Books menu of the Companion allows you to find the book, download it, and transfer it to the Stratus SD card all within the simple Companion interface.
