RCA LYRA Jukebox RD2840 40GB does not want to turn

Good day,

I read on a troubleshoot website that the player supports the following format:

"The Lyra AV Jukebox can play MPEG4-SP video content encoded with the DivX 4/5 and xVID codecs."

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

1. Connect to your XP PC via USB
2. Find the Jukebox drive in 'My Computer'
3. Right click it and left click properties
4. Goto the tools tab
5. Error checking, click check now
6. Tick both boxes then Start
7. When finished checking close all windows
8. Click 'safely remove hardware in the bottom right near the clock' (you need to do this every single time you remove the jukebox or your filesys may be corrupted again)
9. Remove the USB lead from the jukebox and enjoy

RCA audio/video jukebox is refuse to turn of and on,it always wrte USB safe mode, later it will write don't remove the cable it's transfering data.or unpluge and reset. what will i do to off it.

Try updating the firmware.

First you need to download the files from here
http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/downloads.aspx?product=44
you need
RD2780 Lyra™ A/V Jukebox Software Package (Version 1.0.3.5)
and
RD2780 Lyra™ A/V Upgrade Utility

download both files. the format the lyra from windows explorer (fat32).
the install the a/v jukebox. it will put an icon in the system tray. right clic it and select "update system files" (or something like that). when it´s done, disconnect the lyra from the PC and reboot the lyra. It will update automatically.
then download the second file to update firmware. that should work.

The lock icon is displayed when the key lock function is activated. This can be
activated by sliding HOLD to the left. To unlock, slide HOLD to the right.

Also, here is a manual for it in pdf format http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/Downloads.ashx?prodid=202&mediaid=599&force=true&file=products/RD2762/media/RD2762_UMEN.pdf

Does it come with an original restore disk?

u dont want any software. to transfer music to RCa lyra. i have one. just copy amd paste to the memory card of RCA lyra. if detected.....

When RCA first came out with the Lyra series the only way to get music onto the device was by using musicmatch jukebox that would convert your mp3 file to mpy before downloading it to the device. But now RCA has come out with a new firm ware update for these mp3 players that improved the players playback quality plus enabled it to use .WMA files. so first go to RCA support http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/select.aspx?u=downloads and find your player and download the firmware upgrade and install to your player its very easy and instructions are at the same site. You can now convert your music to .wma or use the free Real player that will convert mp3 to wma at the kbps that you request before loading it on. If your music is all ready in wma format you can use windows media player to send the files to your player. One last thing the .wma files that you put on your Lyra player need to be at least 128kbps or higher enhanced playback quality of wma files (160 kbps to 256 kbps).

If you have Windows XP you need to download Musicmatch Jukebox in order to transfer music. Google it. You will probably have to pay for it. However Musicmatch Jukebox does not work with Windows Vista. If you have Vista, you can use Windows Media Player to transfer music to your Lyra. The Media Player automatically comes with Windows Vista OS. Of course, you need to connect your Lyra to your computer using the proper USB cable, so your computer must have a USB port.
