More Information
My computer does not boot-up if
the player is connected prior to
turning on the PC.
In order to improve the performance of
your portable music player and allow a
faster download experience, the storage
in your device has been formatted using
a larger sector size. The BIOS in some
older computers does not support this
larger sector size, which causes it not to
recognize the device when the PC is
booting-up. To correct this, simply
disable the "boot from USB" option in
your computer BIOS or wait until your
computer has completed its boot-up
sequence before connecting your
portable music player.
Check for Updates
Visit http://www.thomson-lyra.com for the
latest news and firmware upgrades for
our Digital Audio Player. You must
update your system after new
downloads have been made in order for
the new applications to be executed.
Specifications
Weight: 30g
Dimensions: 78mm (Length) x 31mm
(Width) x 15mm (Thickness).
Note:
For better result, we
recommend a constant
encoded bit rate from 32 to 320kbps
for mp3 and 48kbps to 192kbps for
Windows Media Audio.
Nevertheless, your unit can play
tracks encoded in variable bit rate
(VBR).
Note:
This unit may temporarily
cease to function if subjected
to electrostatic disturbance. To
resume to normal functioning, you may
use a pin to activate the reset button.
