What format of video can I play on my RCA Lyra RD2780

Visit the manufecturer's website.

plug the lyra up to your computer and go into windows explorer. once you are in there and you have found the external drive thaat your player is on double click on it. Then go to video, select the file you would like to delete with a right click of your mouse. Select delete and then select yes to verify that you want to selete it.

If you boot with the RD2780 plugged into the USB, Vista will recognize it.

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.

If the file is missing, it is difficult to recover. Go to RCA's website, and try updating the firmware.

There isn't more to it- you fried it by using the wrong voltage.

You can buy a non-working RD2780 media player in Ebay and use the needed parts.

There is not place to buy such buttons alone.

Best regards,

you have to play the vhs before hitting the record button or the lyra will pick up no signal i had the same problem recording my dvds
