Frequently Asked Questions
How do I return to the Main menu?
•Press and hold the BACK button (located on the right side of the device) while in the menu system to return to the Main menu. A momentary press of the BACK button brings navigation up one level.
Why should I profile my content?
•Profiling the audio content on your Lyra Recorder creates the necessary sorting categories (Artist, Album, Genre, etc. from id3 tags) so your Lyra Recorder can understand it. Without profiling, the Lyra Recorder will simply act as a mass storage device; any new audio content will NOT be displayed in audio mode.
How do I profile content?
•In the Setup menu, go to the Audio/Video menu and select Profile. Go to page 26 for more details on the profiler.
Note: Video and Photos content will appear in the Navigation menus based on the folder/file structures in the VIDEO and PHOTOS system folder.
Why can’t I to play Video or Audio files directly from the SD/MMC memory card?
•The Lyra Recorder only allows jpeg (.jpg) photo content to be displayed from the SD/MMC memory card. Because of the memory and processing requirements, all other file types must be copied from the SD/MMC memory card to the device.
Why doesn’t the Lyra automatically recognize Video, Audio, and Photo content and assign them to the appropriate folders on the Lyra?
•Because of the massive storage capacity of the Lyra Recorder, the device isn’t capable of this. Video files MUST be stored in the VIDEO sub folder of the Lyra Recorder. Photo content must be stored in the PHOTOS sub folder of the Lyra Recorder.
Note: Sub folders can be created under each of the three main folders to further sort and manage your files. Example; “My summer vacation”, “graduation 2003”, “our first picnic”, could be created under the “Photos” folder. This would allow you to locate and navigate specific folders much more quickly.
What is an “.avi file”?
•AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave and has been defined by Microsoft. It is the most common format for Audio/Video data on the PC. The Lyra Recorder plays .avi files that contain
Why does the Lyra split up my recording into multiple files?
•The file size limit when recording is 2GB, so if your file is larger than that, it will be split into multiple files.
How do I stop content from playing on the Lyra Recorder (where is the STOP button)?
•Use the ON/OFF button on the top of the Lyra Recorder. Press and release the button quickly to stop playback.
