Mono Audio
Mono Audio combines the sound of the left and right channels into a monaural signal
that’s played through both sides. This enables users with a hearing impairment in one
ear to hear both channels with the other ear.
To turn Mono Audio on or off:
m Choose Settings > Playback > Mono Audio, and then select On or Off.
Using Spoken Menus for Accessibility
iPod nano features optional spoken menus, enabling visually impaired users to browse
through their iPod nano content more easily.
iTunes generates spoken menus using voices that are included in your computer’s
operating system or that you may have purchased from third parties. Not all voices
from computer operating systems or third parties are compatible with spoken menus,
and not all languages are supported.
To use spoken menus, VoiceOver must be enabled on iPod nano. For more information,
see “Setting Up VoiceOver” on page 32.
You must enable spoken menus in iTunes before you can activate them on iPod nano.
To enable spoken menus in iTunes:
1 Connect iPod nano to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod nano in the device list and click the Summary tab.
3 Select “Enable spoken menus.”
In Mac OS X, if you have VoiceOver turned on in Universal Access preferences, this
option is selected by default.
4 Click Apply.
After iPod nano syncs with iTunes, spoken menus are enabled and activated on your
iPod nano. iPod nano takes longer to sync if spoken menus are being enabled.
To deactivate spoken menus on iPod nano:
m Choose Settings > General > Spoken Menus and then choose Off.
To turn spoken menus on again, choose Settings > General > Spoken Menus, and then
choose On.
If VoiceOver is enabled, turning off spoken menus doesn’t disable VoiceOver.
Note: The Spoken Menus option appears in the Settings menu on iPod nano only if
spoken menus have been enabled in iTunes.
