11.13. Getting information about the item being played.


It is often useful to be able to get playing information about the item

currently in use. You can do this as follows:

• Press and hold down the Play/Stop key.
• If you are using a DAISY title, you will hear the time elapsed, time

remaining, total time, the date and time when the index was
created and the first phrase of the title.

• If you are using a Music CD, you will hear the elapsed time,

remaining time and total time of the current track followed by the

elapsed time, remaining time and total time of the disc.

• If you are using an Audio File CD or CF card, you will hear the

elapsed time, remaining time and total time for the current file,

followed by the date and time when the index was created.

• When you have heard the information you wanted to hear, release

the Play/Stop key and PLEXTALK will return to what it was doing

previously.

NOTE: The detail of the information spoken differs according to the
format of the CD or CF card in use, but the method to get the information

is the same.

NOTE: For all types of data, if the playback mode is not set to "Standard"

play, the current playback mode will be announced before any of the

other information mentioned above.
