Transferring Video Files to Lyra Recorder

You can transfer video files to your Lyra Portable Multi-media Recorder using Windows Explorer.

Important: In order to transfer video files using Windows XP to your Lyra Recorder, you must set the USB Protocol setting to MTP in the Setup menu before connecting your Lyra. The Lyra Recorder doesn’t support copy-protected content if you are using Windows 2000. See page 23. Also, see page 55 for more information on USB protocols.

If your Lyra Recorder isn’t already connected to your computer, connect it using the provided USB cable (go to page 14 for information on connecting the USB cable). Don’t disconnect the USB cable during video download. Doing so may corrupt system files or the files being downloaded. It is highly recommended that the Lyra Recorder be connected to the ROOT USB PORT (the main USB port) on the PC or a self-powered USB hub.

From Windows Explorer, open the Lyra Recorder drive. Open the drive where the files/folders you want to transfer are located, and highlight them. Drag the files/folders to the VIDEO system folder on the Lyra Recorder drive.

Helpful hint: You can also right click on your content in Windows Explorer and select Copy (or Ctrl + C).

Then from the VIDEO folder, right click and select Paste (or Ctrl + V) to add the copied content.

Supported video files in avi file format must be stored in the VIDEO system folder in order to be available for playback on the device (see page 3 for format information). Sub-folders may be created under the VIDEO system folder for easy navigation and organization of your video content.

Note: You must stop the USB connection before disconnecting the USB cable (go to page 17 for more information on disconnecting the USB cable).

An SD/MMC memory card can also be used to transfer video files. If an SD/MMC memory card is properly inserted, an additional drive is available through Windows Explorer to transfer content onto. Please ensure the correct drive is being used when transferring content from the device. Go to page 52 for more information on transferring files from the SD/ MMC memory card.

When all files have been transferred to the Lyra Recorder from the PC, you MUST re-profile the contents to ensure all content is properly sorted and recognized on the Lyra Recorder. Eject the Lyra Recorder through the tray application (see page 17), then run the profiler. In the Setup menu, go to the Audio/Video menu and select Profile. Go to page 26 for more details on the profiler.
