Operation: Step-by-Step Examples
The following example illustrates (with more detail than the previous information) how you find the song you want to play.
1. These instructions presume you’ve already done the following:
• Installed the MusicMatch Jukebox software and the Lyra MP3/Personal Jukebox profiler application (go to page 22 for detailed instructions).
• Transferred music from your computer to the Thomson Lyra Jukebox (page 31 has detailed instructions) and profiled the contents of the Thomson Lyra Jukebox through MusicMatch Jukebox or the Profiler software.
Note: The music you’re transferring could be from a CD you put in your computer, the internet, or music you already had loaded onto your computer.
2. If you haven’t already unplugged the Thomson Lyra Jukebox from your computer, disconnect the USB cable from the Thomson Lyra Jukebox.
Note: If you’re running Windows 2000, XP, or Me, you must stop the device before unplugging it. Click the icon (the Unplug or Eject hardware icon) from the system tray and select the USB Mass Storage device for the drive letter associated with the Thomson Lyra Jukebox, and click STOP. See the Windows Help for details about the Unplug or Eject Hardware topic.
3. If you’ve fully charged the battery (the Thomson Lyra Jukebox needs to be plugged in for about 4 hours before the battery is fully charged), disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet and then from your Thomson Lyra Jukebox.
Note: If the battery isn’t fully charged, keep the Thomson Lyra Jukebox plugged in while you listen to the music you’ve transferred from your computer.
4. Connect the headphones to your Thomson Lyra Jukebox (insert the end of the headphones connector into the phones jack on the side of the Lyra).
5. If your Thomson Lyra Jukebox isn’t already on, turn it on (press and hold the button for two seconds). The Thomson Lyra logo flashes on the screen, and then the main menu appears the SORT BY menu.
