Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I return to the Main menu?

Press and hold the MENU 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 MENU button brings navigation up one level.

Q: Why should I profile my Audio content?

Profiling the audio content on your Lyra AV Jukebox creates the necessary sorting categories (Artist, Album, Genre, etc. from id3 tags) so your Lyra AV Jukebox can understand it. Without profiling, the Lyra AV Jukebox will simply act as a mass storage device; any new audio content will NOT be displayed in audio mode.

Q: How do I profile Audio Content?

From your PC, with the Lyra AV Jukebox device connected, right click the Lyra icon () from the system tray. From the Lyra System Application menu, select Profile Device Contents… to start profiling and sorting contents.

Note: If more than one Lyra AV Jukebox is connected to your computer, you will be prompted to select the corresponding drive you want to profile.

Click “Done” when profiling is complete.

From within the Audio menu on the Lyra AV Jukebox, select Profile Contents to run the embedded 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. Profiling of Video and Photos content is not necessary.

Q: Why doesn’t my Lyra AV Jukebox recognize my CompactFlash memory card?

Your CompactFlash memory card must first be formatted in Windows using FAT16 format. The default Windows XP format, FAT32, will not work at this time. When formatting your CompactFlash memory card, always select the option enabling FAT16.

Note: FAT16 is displayed as FAT in the Windows 2000 and Windows XP format utility.

Q: Why can’t I to play Video or Audio files directly from the CompactFlash memory card?

The Lyra AV Jukebox only allows jpeg (.jpg) photo content to be displayed from the CompactFlash memory card. Because of the memory and processing requirements, all other file types must be copied from the CompactFlash memory card to the device.

Q: Songs aren’t listed in any of the audio sort modes (Album, Genre, Title, Audio Files).

The audio contents of the Lyra AV Jukebox haven’t been profiled (sorted) since the last file transfer. From the Lyra System Application on your PC, select the Profile Device Contents... option to sort (profile) the audio contents of the hard drive. The icon

in the system tray looks like this .

Q: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 AV Jukebox, the device isn’t capable of this. Video files MUST be stored in the VIDEO sub folder of the Lyra AV Jukebox. Photo content must be stored in the PHOTOS sub folder of the Lyra AV Jukebox.

Note: Sub folders can be created under each of the three main folders to further sort and manage your files. Example; ÒMy summer vacationÓ, Ògraduation 2003Ó, Òour first picnicÓ, could be created under the ÒPhotosÓ folder. This would allow you to locate and navigate specific folders much more quickly.

Q: 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 AV Jukebox plays .avi files that contain mpeg4-sp video and mp3 audio compression formats.

Q: Some .AVI video files do not play on my Lyra AV Jukebox.

Make sure the video is encoded in MPEG4 and the audio is encoded in mp3 audio. The .AVI files may be encoded in audio/ video formats that are not currently supported by the Lyra AV Jukebox device. Note: The Lyra AV Jukebox can play most MPEG4-SP video content encoded with the DivX 4/5 and xVID codecs.

Q: How do I stop content from playing on the Lyra AV Jukebox (where is the STOP button)?

Use the Stop button (labeled On/Off ) on the top of the Lyra AV Jukebox. Press and release the button quickly to stop playback.
