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 Lyra Jukebox (page 31 has detailed
instructions) and profiled the contents of the 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 Lyra Jukebox from your computer, disconnect
the USB cable from the 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
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 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 Lyra Jukebox.
Note: If the battery isn’t fully charged, keep the Lyra Jukebox plugged in while you
listen to the music you’ve transferred from your computer.
4. Connect the headphones to your Lyra Jukebox (plug the connector into the phones
jack on the side of the Lyra).
5. If your Lyra Jukebox isn’t already on, turn it on (press and hold the
button for
two seconds). The RCA Lyra logo flashes on the screen and then the main menu
appears — the SORT BY menu.

Select the recording Quality level – CD Quality
MP3 (128Kbps) is recommended
• MP3 audio is MPEG Layer-3 Audio available at
various encoding bit rates. The highest bit rate
has the best quality sound, but uses the most
disk space.
• WAV 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. WAV audio files are
much larger than MP3 audio files.
• Windows Media™ audio is a compression
format crated by Microsoft. This audio format
incorporates digital rights management.
Notes:
Custom Quality settings are for advanced
users only.
Lyra Jukebox currently only supports MP3
audio format.
Select a CD Recording Mode
1. Check Digital and Error Correction for the best
results. Error checking and correction will be
performed while you are recording (if your
computer doesn’t support this setting, you will
get a message prompting you to change to
Analog).
Note: Choosing Digital and Error Correction
will slow down your recording speed.
2. Check Analog if your CD-ROM drive doesn’t
support digital audio extraction.
3. Select a default Recording Source. If you have
more than one recording source, select the

Playing Your Lyra Jukebox in your car stereo
The cassette adapter lets you listen to the Lyra in an automobile or RV safely without
having to wear headphones.
The car kit is included with your Lyra Jukebox. This accessory kit includes a car cord
adapter (#54095) and a cassette adapter (#54097). The car cord adapter lets you power
your Lyra from the cigarette lighter socket of a car, truck, or RV. It converts 12-volts to a
4.5-volt output.
