## Displaying lyrics [Display Lyrics]

You can display song lyrics when there is an LRC file for the song in the player. The LRC file must have the same file name as the song file, with extension “.lrc” (for example, “abc.lrc” for a song file “abc.mp3”). Place the LRC file in the same folder as the song file. The player synchronizes song lyrics with song playback. For how to create LRC files, see [Details].
Note

- Some LRC files may not be playable on the player depending on the file format.

1. From the Home menu, select [Settings] [Music Settings] [Display Lyrics] desired display type.

Type | Description
[On] | Displays lyrics if the playing song has an LRC file. (Default setting)
