Portable Hard Drive Capability
Thus far, this User’s Guide has discussed your PDP 2800 Thomson Lyra Jukebox player’s music
functions. However, this is the first Thomson Lyra model that has a hard drive (other models
required a compact flash card). Since it has a 10-gigabyte hard drive, you can use it to
transport files — any files, not just music files. Some possible uses for this feature follow:
•
Create back-ups/archive files
•
Connect to other computers — at work, for example.
•
Transport digital photo albums.
•
Transport files from one computer to another computer. For example, instead of putting
files at work on a zip or accessing them on your home computer via e-mail or remote
access, you can put the files on your Thomson Lyra Jukebox.
•
Capture internet downloads.
•
Share information.
