Portable Hard Drive Capability

When connected to a computer via USB, the Thomson Lyra AV Jukebox is capable of storing any file type allowing the user a fast, convenient method of storing, retrieving, and transferring files. Including word processing files, presentations, spreadsheets and any other computer files.

Some possible uses for this feature are as follows:

¥Create back-ups/archive files.

¥Transport digital photo albums.

¥Transport files from one computer to another computer. For example, instead of copying files at work onto a zip disk or accessing them on your home computer via e-mail or remote access, you can copy the files directly to your Thomson Lyra AV Jukebox and access from both work and at home.

¥Store Internet downloads.

¥Share information.

CompactFlash High-Speed Card Reader

The Thomson 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.
