ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
Lyrics Display (KARAOKE)
Your player supports synchronous display of lyrics files (.LRC format) along with
music. Aside from the entertainment benefits of this feature it is found to be of
great help in language learning by many of our users.
How to use this feature? Simply save the lyrics file in the same folder and with
the same name as the corresponding music piece. For example: if your music
file is called “Jem-24.mp3”, then name your .lrc file “Jem-24.lrc” and put it in
the same folder with the music.
When you select a music file that has an accompanying lyrics file, the letter T
(Text) will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen along with the
music symbol: “T♪”.
To display the lyrics for the song just long press the MENU button during the
song’s playback.
To hide the lyrics – short press MENU again.
Note: Should you wish to create your own LRC files you may use LRC Editor
program, included in the bundled software package on the CD.
