<br />
==Victor Vibe and Wave Portable CD Players==<br />
<br />
'''1. I've turned the Victor Player on and nothing happens, or I've pressed PLAY and nothing happens, even though the machine is on.'''<br />
* Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the wall and into the machine.<br />
* If using the machine with battery only, you may need to recharge the battery.<br />
* Make sure the CD is loaded before pressing Play. When the CD is loaded correctly you will hear the title being read.<br />
* Make sure the volume is turned up.<br />
* Make sure the CD is label-side up and inserted correctly into the player.<br />
* Check to make sure the Hold Switch, located on the right side of the player, is in the "OFF" position. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''2. The Victor Reader is working, but the CD does not seem to work.'''<br />
* Remove the disc and reinsert it, making sure the label side is facing up.<br />
* Remove the disc from the drive and clean it with a soft dry cloth. Use a straight motion from center to outside rather than a circular motion around the disk.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''3. When I enter a page number on the keypad, the place it goes to is off by a page or two.'''<br />
* Make sure that the RFB&D CD is the same edition and copyright year as the print book you are using. If not, follow instructions for paging forward and backward manually.<br />
* Some of RFB&D's digitally recorded textbooks that were converted from the original analog recording may be off by a page. Follow the instructions for paging forward or backward manually. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''4. I don't have/forgot/lost my PIN.'''<br />
* If you are a student at an AMAC Member School and you don't have a PIN, please contact your school's service provider or call AMAC Tech Support services at 866-418-2750 for assistance. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''5. Can I start listening at any point in the book in a multiple-CD book?'''<br />
* The first time you listen to a book you must insert the first CD in the series before you can navigate to another section. After that, the software will remember your last position in the book. <br />
<br />
:NOTE: If you insert a CD other than the one containing your last position, you will be prompted to insert the correct CD.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''6. How do I jump around in a multiple-CD book?'''<br />
*You can use the "Go To Page" function or navigate using next/previous functions within a set heading level.<br />
<br />
<br />
==VictorReader Software for Mac==<br />
<br />
'''1. I installed the software but I can't get it to work.'''<br />
*Are you using Mac OS X Leopard (10.5)? The software only works for OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and below. There is no current way around this one. The Leopard OS will not show it's hardware fingerprint so the software cannot be activated. Please ask your service provider for a hardware player for your CDs if you do not have access to another system.<br />
<br />

Accessible PDF Reader (http://www.clarosoftware.com/index.php?cPath=314)<br />
PDF files are great for printing but they can be really difficult to use if you want them read out to you or you want to change the colours and fonts used. Many people, such as people with dyslexia, find it easier to work with text when it is spoken aloud or has different colours or contrast.<br />
<br />
Accessible PDF is a free program from Claro Software that lets you read PDFs with the colours and fonts you want and makes it easy to read the text aloud with other programs such as ClaroRead. You can zoom in and out, use high- or low-contrast colours, and save your PDF as text or a web page for future use. You can even follow internal contents links to let you navigate the document.<br />
<br />
Based on the PDFTOHTML program, which in turn uses the XPDF program from Foo labs, Accessible PDF is free open-source software released under the GNU Public Licence version 3, so you can use it for free for business and personal use.<br />

<h3 style="color: black; font-size: small; text-indent:20px;">System Requirements</h3><br />
:Windows XP and Vista (The Vista machine requires a Windows Experience score for graphics of 3.0 or more) <br />
:Speakers or headphones and a working audio system<br />
:180 MB hard disk space <br />
<br />
<br />
Solving problems with magnification<br />
If you use a Claro (or Sensory Software) product with magnfication such as Lightning on Windows Vista, you should have a Windows Experience Index for Graphics of 3.0 or more to run the program under Aero. Any lower than this and you may experience crashes and hangs, since the display system is too low-powered to perform effectively. However, you may find that some particular settings run fine, so if you stick to those then you will be okay - your computer will not suffer any damage from running the magnification software, even if your graphics card cannot support all the program's features. Guide to Windows Experience.<br />
<br />
There are other ways to increase magnification performance in Lightning:<br />
<br />
Reduce the colour depth of your display from 32-bit or True Colour to 16-bit or High Colour. You can do this by right-clicking on the Desktop, selecting Properties from the pop-up menu, changing to the Settings tab, and changing "Colour Quality". <br />
Reduce the screen resolution of your display, for example from 1280 by 1024 to 800 by 600. You can do this by right-clicking on the Desktop, selecting Properties from the pop-up menu, changing to the Settings tab, and moving the "Screen Resolution" slider towards "Lower." <br />
Increase the magnification of the magnifier. This means less screen to magnify, so less work. <br />
Turn off smoothing. <br />
Turn on Aero in Windows Vista. (You can also try turning it off if you have been working with it on.) <br />
You can make Lightning smooth text on the Desktop (for example, the text under shortcuts) by changing the background colour of the Desktop to white.<br />
<br />
You may find it helpful to have your mouse pointer move to the position of active default button in a new window. You can turn this on by going to the Mouse Properties dialog in Control Panel, selecting the Pointer Options tab, and checking "Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box." and clicking OK.<br />
<br />
Our magnification programs, such as Lightning, cannot magnify any area of the screen controlled by the Microsoft DirectX system. This means that videos in Windows Media Player will not display and full-screen graphical games will not work. Turn off magnification to view this content.<br />

Solving problems with magnification<br />
If you use a Claro (or Sensory Software) product with magnfication such as Lightning on Windows Vista, you should have a Windows Experience Index for Graphics of 3.0 or more to run the program under Aero. Any lower than this and you may experience crashes and hangs, since the display system is too low-powered to perform effectively. However, you may find that some particular settings run fine, so if you stick to those then you will be okay - your computer will not suffer any damage from running the magnification software, even if your graphics card cannot support all the program's features. Guide to Windows Experience.<br />
<br />
There are other ways to increase magnification performance in Lightning:<br />
<br />
Reduce the colour depth of your display from 32-bit or True Colour to 16-bit or High Colour. You can do this by right-clicking on the Desktop, selecting Properties from the pop-up menu, changing to the Settings tab, and changing "Colour Quality". <br />
Reduce the screen resolution of your display, for example from 1280 by 1024 to 800 by 600. You can do this by right-clicking on the Desktop, selecting Properties from the pop-up menu, changing to the Settings tab, and moving the "Screen Resolution" slider towards "Lower." <br />
Increase the magnification of the magnifier. This means less screen to magnify, so less work. <br />
Turn off smoothing. <br />
Turn on Aero in Windows Vista. (You can also try turning it off if you have been working with it on.) <br />
You can make Lightning smooth text on the Desktop (for example, the text under shortcuts) by changing the background colour of the Desktop to white.<br />
<br />
You may find it helpful to have your mouse pointer move to the position of active default button in a new window. You can turn this on by going to the Mouse Properties dialog in Control Panel, selecting the Pointer Options tab, and checking "Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box." and clicking OK.<br />
<br />
Our magnification programs, such as Lightning, cannot magnify any area of the screen controlled by the Microsoft DirectX system. This means that videos in Windows Media Player will not display and full-screen graphical games will not work. Turn off magnification to view this content.<br />
