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.)
1 Connect the TV monitor to the VIDEO OUT terminal of the TYROS (page 18).
2 Turn the TV monitor and the TYROS ON.
3 Set the SCREEN CONTENT parameter to “LYRICS” on the [FUNCTION] →
VIDEO OUT display (page 151).
4 Play the song by following the Basic Procedure (Lyrics) above.

Displaying the Lyrics on the external TV monitor
When the SCREEN CONTENT parame-
ter is set to “LYRICS,” only the lyrics of the
song are output via VIDEO OUT, regard-
less of the display that is called up on the
instrument itself. This lets you select other
displays and still have the lyrics shown on
the external monitor.
