^Setting^Description^
|//Fast forward interval (seconds)//|Number of seconds to skip ahead during message playback each time the subscriber presses the fast forward key.|
|//Rewind interval (seconds)//|Number of seconds to rewind during message playback each time the subscriber presses the rewind key.|
|//Pause interval (seconds)//|Number of seconds to pause message playback when the subscriber presses the pause key.\\ \\ //Pressing the pause key while playback is already paused will simply resume playback, short-circuiting the pause timer.//|

===== Message Information =====

These settings determine if, and when, the message envelope information is auto-played to the subscriber during message playback.

|< 95% 20% >|
^Setting^Description^
|//Play sender ID//|If enabled, the sender ID will be included in the message envelope. \\ \\ If the sender is another user, their name recording will be played; if the sender has no name recording, the system will say the word 'mailbox' followed by the sender's mailbox number.\\ \\ If //Include extension// is checked, the system will also state the sender's extension number after playing the name recording.|
|//Play date/time of receipt//|If enabled, the date and time of receipt will be included in the message envelope.|
|//Play information//|Determines if and when the message envelope is auto-played: <WRAP>
  * **No** means the envelope information is not played
  * **Before playback** means the envelope is played before the message
  * **After playback** means the envelope is played after the message
//Even if this setting is set to //No//, the subscriber can access the entire message envelope information by choosing the message detail option after message playback is complete.//

===== General Settings =====

This section contains various playback-related settings that did not fit in the other categories:

|< 95% 20% >|
^Setting^Description^
|//Play messages LIFO//|If //enabled//, messages are played Last In, First Out (LIFO), meaning the newest message is played first.\\ \\ If //disabled//, messages are played First In, First Out (FIFO), meaning the oldest message is played first.|
|//Auto-play new messages//|If //enabled//, the new message queue will auto-play after login (after the message counts are announced).\\ \\ If //disabled//, the subscriber must press a key to begin playing new messages.|
|//Skip to next msg on no input//|If //enabled//, the system will automatically skip to the next message in the queue if the subscriber does not enter a selection after the message review menu is played at the end of message playback.  The message is not auto-saved, only skipped, so it will remain a new message.\\ \\ If //disabled//, the subscriber must press a key to skip the message; a lack of response will cause the system to repeat the message review menu a few times and then disconnect.|
|//Do not play message counts//|If //enabled//, the system will simplify the message count announcement at login as follows: <WRAP>
  * If there is only one new message, it will say so.
  * If there is more than one new message, it will simply say that there are new messages.
  * If there are no messages at all, it will say there are no messages.
  * It will never say that there are saved messages.
