Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Things to Consider Before You Connect

Protect Against Power Surges

• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.

• Turn off all components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Protect Components from Overheating

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it
won’t flow around other components.

Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Improving Performance

Orientation of the Antennas

Proper orientation of the antennas is important for good performance. You may find that the system
works better with one or more of the antennas in the horizontal (flat) position. The receiver and
transmitter tend to operate better in high locations, where the signal path is wider and stronger (on a
shelf, for example). Watch the receiver signal strength indicators for indication of signal strength.

You may also need to experiment with the position of the remote control antenna on the transmitter
unit. See what position works the best for the remote control.

The Lyra Wireless transmitter and receiver antennas can rotate to multiple positions. You may
want to try several different angles for the best reception.

Chapter 1 9

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Fine Tuning the Lyra Wireless

To get the best signal reception, the Lyra Wireless units should face each other using an imaginary “line
of sight.” You can place the transmitter and receiver in separate rooms, or even separate floors of your
house, so you don’t have to worry about the units being close to each other. Other barriers in your
house may affect the signal, so you may need to adjust the positions of the transmitter and receiver
somewhat.

If the transmitter is sending the signal to the receiver properly, you should see some of the receiver’s
signal strength meter indicators light up.

If there is no signal at all

Make sure the CHANNEL switch on the back of both units is set to the same number.

If the signal is weak or there is interference

Try changing the channel on both units. Make sure the CHANNEL switch is set to the same channel on
both units.

Lyra Wireless Receiver

Table or
high shelf

Lyra Wireless
Transmitter

Table or

The Lyra Wireless system can transmit
through walls and floors (up to 100 ft.).

Avoiding Interference

Cordless Phone and Baby Monitor Interference

The transmitter and receiver have 4 RF channels, but if you have a 900Mhz cordless phone or baby
monitor, pick a channel that doesn’t interfere with the phone or monitor. Channel 4 is typically the
channel with the least interference with telephones and baby monitors. If you have interference, leave
your cordless phone or monitor on, then switch to a channel on both Lyra Wireless units that is clear.

Install Batteries in the Remote

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.

2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on the
remote.

3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.

Important Battery Information

• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because
they can leak and cause damage.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all
batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge
a battery not intended to be recharged.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Using the Remote with the Lyra Wireless and Other Components

The software that comes with your Lyra Wireless enables you to use the remote to control many of the
MUSICMATCH features. When you want the remote to operate MUSICMATCH, point it at the Lyra
Wireless transmitter and press a button.

The remote control antenna of the Lyra Wireless system allows you to operate MUSICMATCH from
another room, or even another floor of your house, so you don’t have to worry about being right in
front of the transmitter. For more information on how to use the remote with MUSICMATCH, go to the
end of this chapter.

For other components (TV, VCR, etc.), the remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward
the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the
component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want
to operate, so the signal isn’t blocked.

Chapter 2 19

Chapter 2: MUSICMATCH and the Lyra Wireless

Playing Music through the Lyra Wireless

Now that you have connected your Lyra Wireless and installed all the necessary software, it’s time to
listen to some music.

1. Make sure the MUSICMATCH application is launched on your computer. If it’s not, press the LYRA
WIRELESS button on the remote.

2. Select the music source you want to play by pressing the corresponding button on the remote (FILE,
RADIO, CD). If you choose FILE or CD, also select the song you want to play.

3. Turn on your audio receiver or other audio component and make sure it is on the right input mode
for how you connected the Lyra Wireless receiver unit (AUX, INPUT, etc.). See you owner’s manual
for the audio system or audio component for more details.

4. Adjust the volume on your computer and audio receiver to a comfortable level.

5. Press PLAY (the song plays through your audio receiver).

Fine Tuning the Lyra Wireless

To get the best signal reception, the Lyra Wireless units should face each other using an imaginary “line
of sight.” You can place the transmitter and receiver in separate rooms, or even separate floors of your
house, so you don’t have to worry about the units being close to each other. Other barriers in your
house may affect the signal, so you may need to adjust the positions of the transmitter and receiver
somewhat (see the diagrams in Chapter 1).

If the transmitter is sending the signal to the receiver properly, you should see some of the receiver’s
signal strength meter indicators light up.

If there is no signal at all

Make sure the CHANNEL switch on the back of both units is set to the same number.

If the signal is weak or there is interference

Try changing the channel on both units. Make sure the CHANNEL switch is set to the same channel on
both units.

Note: If you prefer, we can provide you with the name of an Authorized Service Representative who will visit your home
for a fee to install your electronic entertainment system and to instruct you in its operation. For details about this
service, call 1-800-206-3359 or visit rca.com.

General Problems

Lyra Wireless won’t turn on

• Make sure both the transmitter and receiver are plugged in.

• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

No sound

• Make sure all the connections are snug between the Lyra Wireless receiver and your audio receiver
(or other component).

• Make sure the music is not being sent to your sound card. In the MUSICMATCH menu, select
Options, then Player, then Settings. Under Output Control, make sure USB Audio Device is selected
(or Lyra Wireless for Windows XP). If it wasn’t already selected, you may have to restart
MUSICMATCH to activate the new setting. Once you restart, try playing the music again. You
should hear audio play through your audio system (not from your PC). The normal Windows sound
prompts should still play through your PC.

• Make sure the correct input mode or channel is selected on your audio system. In order for your
audio system to receive the sound coming from the Lyra Wireless, the correct input mode must be
selected (AUX, INPUT, etc.). See your owner’s manual for the audio system or component for more
details.

The chime sound and Windows prompts are playing through the Lyra Wireless

• Make sure your sound playback settings are correct. If all sounds are playing through your audio
system, including Windows sound prompts, you need to set the Windows prompts to only play
through your sound card. See page 16 for details.

Poor reception

• Make sure the antenna is positioned correctly. Proper orientation of the antenna is important for
good performance. You may find that the system works better with one or more of the antennas in
the horizontal (flat) position. The receiver and transmitter tend to operate better in high locations,
where the signal path is wider and stronger (on a shelf, for example). Watch the receiver signal
strength indicators for indication of signal strength.

• Your cordless phone or baby monitor may be causing interference. The transmitter and receiver
have 4 RF channels, but if you have a 900Mhz cordless phone or baby monitor, pick a channel that
doesn’t interfere with the phone or monitor. Channel 4 is typically the channel with the least
interference with telephones and baby monitors. If you have interference, leave your cordless
phone or monitor on, then switch to a channel on both Lyra Wireless units that is clear.

Chapter 3: Additional Information

The Remote Control Doesn’t Work

• Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure
there is a clear path. (This is only when using the remote to operate other components, such as a TV
or VCR.)

• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote.

• You might need to drain the remote’s microprocessor: remove batteries and press the number 1
button for at least 60 seconds. Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and reprogram, if
necessary.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your unit before cleaning.
You can clean the unit as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the

ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of

cleaners will damage the unit.
Avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the unit. This could increase the risk of fire or shock

hazard or damage to the unit.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other
Components

The universal remote can be programmed to operate most
brands of remote controllable components. The remote is
already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan
components.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed for your component, turn the component ON.
For example, to program the remote for a TV, turn on the TV.
Point the remote at the TV, and press the TV button. Then
press ON•OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH – (channel down)
to see if the TV responds to the remote commands. If the
component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.

Programming the Remote

There are two ways to program the remote control:

• automatic code search

• direct entry

Using Automatic Code Search

The following instructions can be used to program the
remote to operate each of your components. If you want to
stop the automatic code search without programming any of
your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the
remote turns off.

1. Turn on the component you want to operate (TV, Cable
Box, etc.)

2. Press and hold the component button you want to
program (TV, etc.). While holding the component button,
press and hold ON•OFF until the indicator on the remote
turns on, then release both buttons.

3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release
PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the indicator on the
remote stops flashing.

At this point the remote is searching for the correct code
to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want
to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the
remote to search the next set of codes.

Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or
you have searched through all of the codes. There are 20
total sets of codes. If the component does not turn off
after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can’t be
programmed to operate that component.

Chapter 3 27

Chapter 3: Additional Information

Important

You must continue pressing the component
button while you enter the code.

Let’s say you have a Zenith TV. To program the
universal remote to operate the VCR, you
would:

Press and hold the TV button while you enter
the first code listed for Zenith in the TV Codes
column.

Release the TV button. Press ON•OFF to see if
the TV responds. If it doesn’t, follow the same
steps, but enter the second code for Zenith TVs
instead of the first.

Note

Some of the remote’s buttons might operate
differently for other components, especially
when you’re using another component’s menu
system.

If the component you want to control does turn off:

1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat
this step until the device turns back ON.

2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the
remote turns off.

Using Direct Entry

1. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the
component on the code list in this section.

3. Point the remote at the component.

4. Press and hold the component button you want to
program on the remote.

5. Enter the 4-digit code from the remote control code list
on the following pages. If the indicator flashes, you have
either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t
programmable.

6. Release the component button, and then press ON•OFF
to see if the component responds to the command. If it
doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then
ON•OFF again.

• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next
code listed for your brand, until the component responds
to the remote commands.

• If you try all the codes for your component brand and
none work, try the automatic code search method. If
automatic code search doesn’t find the code, the remote
is not compatible with your component.

How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It

Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver,
etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the component buttons. For example, if you want the
remote to control the TV, you would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you
could control the TV.

1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD, TV, VCR, SAT•CABLE, AUX) to set the remote to
control the component.

2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.

3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.

Notes:

• The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of components. It also may not operate all
functions of the remote that came with your component.

• If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the wrong mode. You must press
the component button that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the VCR,
press VCR on the remote control to put the remote in VCR mode.)
