English
You start the commentary by pointing the player at an activation point, holding it no more than thirty centimeters (one foot) away, like a remote control. You don’t have to press any buttons; the commentary starts automatically after the beep. The device has three buttons. Use the left button to turn the volume down and the right button to turn the volume up. Use the middle button to pause the commentary and then restart it. When you are asked to make a choice, the buttons work as answer options.
Dutch
U start een verhaal door de speler binnen 30 cm op een activeerpunt te richten, net als een afstandsbediening. U hoeft daarbij geen toets in te drukken; het commentaar start vanzelf na de pieptoon. Er zitten drie toetsen op het apparaat. Met de linker toets zet u het volume zachter, met de rechter toets zet u het volume harder. De middelste toets gebruikt u om het commentaar te pauzeren en weer te hervatten. Tijdens een keuzefragment werken de toetsen als keuzetoetsen.
