Instructions

1. Connect your Lyra to the computer with a mini-USB cable, which is provided along with the portable media player. Make sure that the cable is properly connected to the correct USB port, otherwise you will fail to sync your audio files.

2. Open Windows Media Player. Click on Tools, and then choose Options.
