Delete the songs off your lyra, press the restart button. Reinstall firmware, software. Then Start Again.

I am in the UK and the Lyra support page doesn't allow me to get support without a valid US Zip Code. The drop down for the name of the product doesn't list the juke box, and the menu items of the Product type is Audio, Lyra digital audio player, DVD, and VCR. the Lyra I've got is a audo/vidoe jukebox but there's no selection for non of the above. |

How do I get a replacement hard disk. The Lyra I've got is no longer mountable on the PC and the MP3 files on the disk are no longer readable. It comes up with a message missing system files when it's switched on... or am I doing something wrong?

Hey everybody this is "Tech Guy" doing his day of service. (its what keeps me out of hell!) lol j/k
ok here we go
Ok FJV yes there is a tool go to: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/Cultures/en-US/DownloadsLanding.html remove all data on the Lyra the run the install process and it should reboot.
To: Anonymous why did you take off the back and UN plug anything? You do realize there is a factory warranty for 90 days. You violate that by opening it.
To: Lyra yes you can. Just plug it in and it browse to it from Windows Explorer And delete them their.
To: Curt yes you can record DVD’s there are a few ways to go about this. The first and most obvious way is to use the on board recording system of the Lyra.
1. record strait to Lyra
(this works for live television as well.)
Just hook it up to the DVD player. Wait for a signal and play the movie then start recording. But in my opinion the Lyra Dose not compress video as well as a computer. So I like to do it on the PC.
2 . Record DVD’s to pc
Recording DVDs to your computer then compressing them to an MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 isn’t much harder and can produce video that’s smaller and has better quality go to www.slysoft.com and get there decoder software. (Its really worth the buy if you ask me) then go to www.dvd2svcd.org and download there DVD2AVI converter. Convert to MPEG 4 or 2 and your set. Just transfer that to the Lyra and it works like a champ.
But either way works.
To: RobH yes just connect the transfer AV cables to the transfers out jack on the side of the Lyra and connect to TV.
To: Kethm you really need to read the users manual from page 18-30 and it will explain every thing. After that if you have a question on a specific thing I can help you.
To: John Dutton umm John you cant just replace the HD in the Lyra its probably easier to get a new one. But what it look like is the hard drive on your Lyra might have corrupted there are a couple ways this could have happened. Strong Static shock, power surge, near a strong magnet (most likely) if you put it near a Big TV speaker or something. ECT. Either way the best plan of attack would be to clear out all the media reinstall the Lyra OS from this site: http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/Cultures/en-US/DownloadsLanding.html then put all the files back on it.
If any one has anymore questions email me at Cjsmazda@yahoo.com or just post here so everyone can learn.

Hi,
I have an RCA lyra 2840 that my computer will not recognize when I turn it on. All other functions seem to work fine. I have Windows XP, so I ordinarily would go into "My Computer" and access it as an additional drive (It would show as RCA Lyra. That same drive now shows, but only as "K drive" and disappears when I disconnect the Lyra. I cannot upgrade anything until such time as I can get the computer to recognize it. Any ideas?

Hi,
I have a Lyra jukebox RD2825-Lyra™ Audio/Video Jukebox with 20 GB Hard Drive, High Speed USB 2.0 Connection and Back-lit Multiline LCD Display
When I switch it on and it's not connected to the USB and computer, it think it is connected to a computer and says 'do not unplug' and then 'safe to unplug'... only sometimes the computer would recognise it if I drained the battery and started again, I removed all files and reinstalled the most recent firmware but I still get these problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated  |

For those of you who are wondering how to record copyrighted dvd and vhs videos i may have found a solution.I personally don't own a lyra but i have 1 on order.I found this post on the circuit city website.
"Like the reviewers before me, I too was concerned about not being able to record from my dvd player. I read a review that said you could get past the copyright protection by unplugging the video-in line at the 6 second mark and plugging it back in at 11 seconds. Well guess what..... It WORKS I couldn't believe it but it really does work. So if this was a reason for not buying the RCA Lyra 2780. Don't worry this trick will work." |

HELP!
Thang god I actually found this site.
Now the question is if someone can help
In US for 4 days before I head back to school in Italy.
Have Lyra 1090a, can't reach tech support, can't find product manual and can't reset Lyra.
Plays the 1st songs in memory but then when it tries to go to the external card it can't read anything and locks. Any ideas?
Upgraded the firmware and even reset the card, but can't find a way to reset the whole unit.
If anyone knows how to reach RCA tech support that would be great as well. Talk soon

I have a RCA Lyra 2780 and everything works instead of MP3 Playback. I've reformatted the hard drive and installed the OS and updated it with the latest firmware. My two approaches were ripping a CD in Musicmatchbox and I also purchased and downloaded music from music match box and I still get no functionality. it recoagnizes the file and displays it for about 5 seconds then kicks me back to the main screen. I'm in need of some serious help |

Ok, two things. First, I have a 40 GB Hitachi notebook drive and have heard that it is a fairly simple process to put it into the Lyra. Any comments on that?
Second.
I have a lot of video that is almost all avi format. Some of the .avi files work perfectly but most are out of synch with the audio when i copy them to the lyra. Is there any way to tell whether they will work properly without having to test them on the Lyra. Also, is there a program that will set up a queue and convert a lot of avi's to mpg overnight?
Thanks |

Hi Tech Guy,
I was installing new songs on my Lyra. When I unplugged the Lyra from my CPU and restarted it, it suddenly started to make a clanging noise (coming from the HD) and it showed this message "Missing or corrupted system files detected". And when I plug my Lyra to my CPU into USB safe mode, my computer doesn't detect my Lyra anymore, so I can't reformat my Lyra and reinstall it.
What can I do to reinstall my software?
What have I done to corrupt my system files?
Thank you very much for your help

I have a Lyra 2850. The first time I plugged it into the computer it worked fine. After a few days of use I tried to plug it in again. This time the Add New Hardware Wizard came up and it will not recognize my device. It won't let me install the driver through the wizard because it can't find it on the CD. I have tried to remove all the software and reinstall and it still keeps popping up with the New Hardware Wizard, it recognizes my Lyra as a ?USB DEVICE.
Anyone know what I can do to get my computer to recognize it. I run Windows XP |
