Do we need to be careful about distinguishing between provisions
in:<br><br>
&quot;<b>Section 4. Additional Provisions for Audio-Visual Players or
Displays&quot;</b> <br>
and<br>
&quot;<b>Section 6.2/3 If Audio and/or Video Content&quot;<br><br>
</b>And/or add something here that acknowledges that on a PC, the audio
equivalents can be provided through general AT as it would be for any
other software.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Allen, I understand and agree
with the requirement for providing the audio<br>
equivalents when the multimedia is closed like a DVD player.&nbsp;
However, this<br>
provision does not limit the requirement to those types of
environments.<br>
As written, it would apply to all multimedia content.&nbsp; My concern is
the<br>
scope of the provision is too broad.<br><br>
