ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Lyrics Display (KARAOKE)

Your

keŌ™ 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, depending
upon the firmware version:

- the letter T (Text) will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the
screen along with the music symbol: “T♪”.

- Green light will appear near LYRIC sign in the bottom right corner of the
screen.

song’s playback, until KARAOKE mode turns ON.
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. You can open an

audio file in the LRC editor or play it in WinAmp™ media player (they are
compatible with each other). Copy the lyrics text from your source file and paste
it in the LRC Editor. Start the audio file playback. Positionthe cursor at the
beginning of each text line and press “F5” when the corresponding fragment is
being played. Repeat this operation to mark the beginning for each text line.
