CompactFlash High-Speed Card Reader

The Lyra AV Jukebox also functions as a high-speed CompactFlash card reader when a CompactFlash memory card (Type- I) is properly inserted into the device.

If a CompactFlash memory card is properly inserted and the device is connected through USB to a computer, an additional drive will be accessible through Windows Explorer (on the Desktop for Mac Users) to transfer content to and from the card. All files types, not just multimedia files, may be stored on the card.

NOTE: CompactFlash memory cards MUST be formatted in FAT16 in order to be properly detected.

Other formats may result in device errors.

Only Photo content will be available for direct playback (viewing) on the Lyra AV Jukebox. Audio and Video content must be copied onto the deviceÕs hard drive in order to be available for playback. Audio and Video content on the CompactFlash memory card may also be copied to a computer for playback.
