>>  HumanWare Launches Victor Reader Stream CD Edition
>> Longueuil, Quebec, March 4, 2010 - HumanWare is pleased to announce a new 
>> model of its popular Victor Reader Stream portable DAISY, MP3 player and 
>> voice recorder. Victor Reader Stream CD Edition combines the worldwide 
>> renowned VR Stream and a special CD player accessory.
>> Stream CD Edition is perfect for people who do not have a personal 
>> computer. It is the easiest way to transfer a DAISY book on CD onto one 
>> single, portable audio playback device without the use of a computer.
>> "We have heard from many people who like the portability of the Victor 
>> Reader Stream but who do not use computers", says Gerry Chevalier, Victor 
>> Reader Product Manager at HumanWare. "These are customers who receive 
>> DAISY CD books in the mail from their library. They tell us they would 
>> like to be able to transfer their CD book to the Stream because the 
>> Stream would be an ideal player when they are travelling or on the go. 
>> However, they also tell us they do not have or want to use a computer. 
>> With the Stream CD Edition we are now pleased to offer them a solution."
>> Key Benefits:
>> Ideal for readers who listen to DAISY CD books and do not use a computer 
>> Easy to use. Just attach the CD drive to the Stream, load the CD book, 
>> and press a single button to copy it to the Stream A short Getting 
>> Started audio book explains the steps and plays automatically when you 
>> power on the Stream CD Edition. The Stream CD Edition has the full 
>> feature set of the standard Stream so if users want to go beyond just 
>> listening to their DAISY CD books they can enjoy other types of books and 
>> music and even use the voice recorder. All documentation and tutorials 
>> are supplied on the SD card.
>>
>>
>> What's in the package?
>> One VR Stream with all the usual accessories (rechargeable battery & 
>> charger, ear buds, USB cables, documentation CD and a 2Gb SD card) One VR 
>> Stream CD player Accessory especially designed to be used with the Stream
>>
>>
>> The CD player accessory is also available for purchase by existing Stream 
>> users who may not have a computer and are relying on others to transfer 
>> their CD DAISY books. Only the CD player supplied by HumanWare should be 
>> used as other CD drives have been found not to be electrically compatible 
>> and can damage the Stream.
