Thanks Dan. I'll have a go at that.

I used my Optacon to program my VCR using the onscreen menu on a 13-inch TV. I
could use the regular camera on invert mode or the CRT, but the CRT lens made
the characters larger than was comfortable for me.

Hi Mary
Thanks for that. I'll check it out. I have a Samsung flat screen, and before
I had a talking screen reader I tried the CRT lens on invert, but didn't really
manage.
Have you ever tried to set a programme for a vidio recorder by using your
Optacon on the TV screen?

Susan,
Your optacon settings depend on the type of monitor you're using. I have an
LCD display, the fourth I've used since August 2001, and I use Windows XP;
I usually don't use a CRT lens, but I use a regular R1D optacon with the
standard lens attached, in the standard, not the invert, setting. It works
quite well, and the print from the screen is very readable. I don't get any
flicker or pulsing at all. I've had much less success with CRT monitors, the
old, heavy ones; some of those weren't any good at all, and others required
a CRT optacon lens with an optacon 2 (the newer optacons) set in one of the
three modes.
