Sovereign USB memory stick player
Hello, my name is Tim and I work for RNIB. Today I’m going to be talking to you about
a very simple USB player. It’s designed for listening to your audio music, audio books
and also your talking newspapers that come on a USB stick.
On the front is a large yellow dial which allows you to turn the player on and off.
That’s your main control. On the top of the player there are 4 buttons, yellow in
colour and they’re round as well. They’re quite tactile and stand out from the top of
the player which allows you to find them quite easily.
You just take the USB stick and insert into the top. To turn the player on, as I mentioned
earlier all you do is just turn the dial.
“National Talking Newspapers and Magazines – you’re very own newsagent.”
So as I mentioned before, if you were wanting to navigate around your stick all you would
do is use the control buttons on the top of the player. The rewind button there, play
and pause, and again fast forward. Oh it’s worth mentioning at this point that
it is battery powered but is rechargeable. It comes with a mains adapter which you plug
into the back, which is great because this lightweight unit you can have it anywhere
you want in the house. You can have it on a bedside table, you can have it in the garden
or you can even have it in the kitchen whilst you’re making your dinner.
Something worth mentioning with regards to the USB sticks, as I said you may come across
talking newspapers that are held on them. The one great thing about that is that with
all the local news that needs to be reported you can actually get a lot more detail on
something like this rather than a traditional cassette or even a CD. They’re relatively
inexpensive and maybe friends or family would like to get you one as well. You can listen
to a number of different talking books on them which is great if you’re away on your
holidays and want to travel.
So that’s it, the Sovereign USB Player, a very simple, easy to use device that is
great for using all round
the house.
