You can also insert a CompactFlash memory card to the CompactFlash port and use the supplied USB cable to download photo content to the CompactFlash memory card. Go to page 13 for more information.

Note: You can view photos directly from the CompactFlash memory card without having to transfer the content to the Thomson Lyra AV Jukebox hard drive.
