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. In the Setup menu, go to the Audio/Video menu and select Profile. Go to page 26 for more details on the profiler.

When using a memory card, only Photo content will be available for direct playback (viewing) on the Lyra Recorder. Audio and Video content must be copied onto the device’s hard drive in order to be available for playback. Audio and Video content on the
