Important Information
The Lyra works with your computer to let you play your favorite music from files recorded on removable CompactFlash* cards. The player plays files encoded with the popular MP3 and RealNetworks** G2 audio formats and may allow for future upgrades of some alternative audio compression formats.
Because the player has no moving parts, the audio can be played back virtually anywhere without skipping.
You can download MP3 and G2 encoded music files from several internet sites to your computer hard drive or record your favorite CD using the software supplied.
Some of the internet sites you may want to explore are:
• www.real.com • www.mpeg.org • www.mp3.com

1. Select a recording Format and
Quality Level.
A. RealAudio is
RealNetworks’ audio format. This format saves your music as RealAudio (.rmx) secure or RealAudio unsecured (.rmj) files. Compression levels available are (96, 64, and 44 Stereo, and 32 Kbps Mono). 96kbps Stereo has the best quality sound, but uses the most disk space.
B. MP3 Audio is MPEG
layer 3 Audio available at four compression levels (128, 96, 64, and 56Kb Stereo). 128Kb has the best quality sound, but uses the most disk space.
8
C. Wave Audio is unencoded
music that is not compressed. This format has the best quality sound but requires the largest file size, as much as 650MB per CD. Wave Audio files are much larger than RealAudio and MP3 Audio files.
A. Secure Files On Files recorded with
security on can only be played on the PC on which they were recorded.
Notes: If you record with the
security feature on, make sure you perform a security key back up (
Key feature located under Options menu).
Backup Security
B. Secure Files Off Most people choose to
turn the Secure Files feature off.
Notes: In the future, some
music may require the security feature turned on to record to your computer.
Turn this feature off if you
own two computers and want to exchange files between them.
