software that supports M3U audio playlist files). Refer to the MusicMatch Jukebox User Manual for details. Use Windows
Explorer to transfer predefined playlists to your Lyra AV Jukebox.
If your Lyra AV Jukebox isn’t already connected to your computer, connect it using the provided mini-USB cable.
From Windows Explorer, highlight the predefined playlists that you have created in MusicMatch Jukebox and drag them to
the AUDIO folder located on the Lyra AV Jukebox drive.

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 (
System Application menu, select Profile Device Contents… to start profiling and sorting contents.

From within the Audio menu on the Lyra AV Jukebox, select Profile Contents to run the embedded profiler.

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.

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

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.
Q: What is an “.avi file”?
