Displaying Lyrics

If the selected song has lyric data, you can have the lyrics shown in the display by pressing the [Lyrics] LCD button

in the Main display. The Lyrics feature offers a number of useful possibilities:

•The phrases to be sung are highlighted in time with the music, making it easy to follow the words and sing

along with the song. Connect a microphone and you can even have your voice mixed with the song

accompaniment as it plays.

•Connect an external TV monitor to the TYROS, and you can have the lyrics displayed on the TV — for

group sing-alongs and the like. You can even set the TYROS so that the lyrics are shown on the TV monitor

while the LCD of the instrument displays a different operation or function. (Select [FUNCTION] →

VIDEO OUT.)
