Frequently Asked Questions:

How does Playaway compare to audio on cassette or CD?

Playaway is more convenient and easier to enjoy than juggling multiple CDs, cassettes, or a separate player. Playaway allows listeners to control the speed of the narrator’s voice and digitally bookmark up to 50 spots - to hold their place or mark a quote worth going back to.

What does the audio sound like on a Playaway?

Playaway audio is of equal or greater quality to digital downloads available today, due to proprietary processing, and leading-edge production techniques.

How long does the battery last and how easy is it to change?

One AAA (triple A) battery will provide up to 12 hours of playing time. The battery is easy to change. Just locate the battery clip at the wide base of the player and push it to unsnap and remove the cover. Once the cover’s off, pull out the old battery, pop in a new one, and snap the cover back on.

Can students use another set of headphones with a Playaway?

Absolutely, in addition to the earphones provided, Playaway was designed with a universal earphone jack to work with almost any type of headphones, speakers, or car adapters.

Can anyone add, delete, or transfer content onto or from a Playaway?

To protect copyrighted works, it’s not possible to make copies of or alter the content of a Playaway.

What is the warranty on Playaways?

Playaways are warranted against defects for one year from their purchase date.
