RE: A Victor Stream Query
Try removing the battery and utting it back in. I've had this happen on occasion and removing the battery and putting it back seems to fix the problem. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Smiling?

The first, and simplest, is to hold down the Power or On/Off button on the stream, with the stream off. Hold it down for about fifteen or twenty seconds. This will result in the Stream beeping twice, as if it is starting twice. This is exactly what it is doing. The second time it starts, it will have reset. The second way to reset the Stream is, with the stream off, hold down the Bookmark key, the number five key, and with these two buttons held down, press and hold the On/Off or Power button on the Stream until the Stream comes on. This is called a Profile Reset. This will result in the loss of all bookmarks in any books you are reading. The third type of reset is the most drastic. It is called a Factory reset, and will result in all keys for BARD, Learning Ally, etc. being removed from your Stream. In this reset, with the Stream off, press and hold down the number two, six and eight keys until the stream comes on. The Stream will come on, and you will have a menu from which to choose. You will press the number two key until it says Factory reset. This is the most drastic of the three types of resets. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Andrea Sherry Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2017 07:55 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: A Victor Stream Query I have a 2nd gen Victor Reader Stream.

RE: A Victor Stream Query
I had one that did this at about the same age. Try pulling out the battery and using external power. If that works, you need a new battery. There is also a reset you can try. I think you hold down the 1 button while powering it on. May be a different key, not sure.
