(More customer reviews)Having fond memories of View Masters as a boy and seeing there was now sound and a dinosaur pack of reels, I decided to get this for my boy.
I was a bit leery, since I had read all the reviews about sound problems, but I decided to take my chances, and it would still be fun to look at, even without the sound.
Well, no luck--the demo reel sound was fine, but the dinosaur pack only worked for one reel and then I got the "blipping" sound meaning the unit was having problems reading the sound files from the cartridge. Enter my wife with the easy fix. Hopefully it will work for others.
It's a matter of seating--there needs to be good contact between the metal contacts, so pushing the cartridge away from your face (as you look into the toy) ensures good contact and working sound. Well, as another reviewer suggested--not exactly an acceptable solution. The easy fix is to keep open the green reel cartridge/sound module before seating it (as if you've taken out a reel and didn't close it--I don't mean crack open the actual sound module). Just don't click it closed before seating. This gives enough pressure to where good contact is made. Haven't had any sound problems since. The only issues with this workaround are that the toy should've been better made in the first place, and if the toy is turned upside down, the extra reels may fall out, but this works great for us, considering we knew going in there may be sound problems.
