Internal Lyrics

The BK-5’s display can show the lyrics of Standard MIDI
Files or mp3 songs you load. If such song files contain
Lyrics data, the lyrics are always displayed on an exter-
nal screen you connect to the BK-5 (see “Connecting a
television set” on p. 18), unless you set the “External Lyr-
ics” parameter to “Off” (see below).
Sometimes, however, it may be wiser to orient the exter-
nal screen in such a way that the audience can easily
follow the lyrics, which may then mean that you no
longer see what is displayed. If you need to see the lyr-
ics, you can follow them on the BK-5’s internal display:
1.

Load a song with lyrics data (see p. 35).

2.

Select the “Internal Lyrics” command (see

“General procedure”).

3.
Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button.
