Recording Video to Your Lyra Recorder
Recording from an Audio/Video Component
You can record video from video components that have video output jacks, such as a TV, VCR, cable box, or satellite box,
using the supplied Line In cable.
Note: If you want to record at a lower quality to take up less space, or to record at a higher quality for
better video, change the Video Record Quality setting in the Setup menu (go to Chapter 2). The default
record quality is Medium (standard play). A 30-minute program recorded at this quality will take up
approximately 220-270 MB.
To view recorded content on your TV, it is recommended you set the Video Record Quality to High (high
quality).
To view recorded content on your Lyra Recorder, it is recommended you set the Video Record Quality to
Medium (standard play).
1. Make sure your Lyra Recorder is off.
2. Connect the 3.5mm mini-plug end of the cable to the LINE IN jack on your Lyra Recorder player.
3. Connect the yellow (video) to the Video Output jack to the component. If you want to record sound, connect
the red (audio right) and white (audio left) cables to the corresponding right and left Audio Output jacks on your
component.
4. Turn on the power to your component, and select the input you’re recording from (for example, if you want to record
a tape playing from the VCR to the TV, you need to switch to VCR mode (video input channel) on the TV to watch
the tape).
5. Turn on your Lyra Recorder.
6. Highlight and select Video.
7. Press the RECORD button on the top of the Lyra Recorder when are you ready to record (the
Recording Mode screen appears). If you need to, press PLAY on the device connected to the
TV (for example, a VCR).
8. Press SELECT to begin recording, or highlight one of the pre-set times to record so you don’t
have to press Stop. Once recording begins, the record screen appears with status, Recording
time (if Start Recording was selected, this will be blank), elapsed time, recording quality, and
the fi le name shown.
