WM1A shows blank/empty lyrics frame

[epping4est]

I have the Hunger Games Pt-1 soundtrack on my WM1A, 192/24 FLAC.

As a test of the WM1A's "lyrics" functionality, I added an LRC file to accompany Lorde's "Yellow Flicker Beat" [Track 7]. The WM1A recognizes the presence of the LRC file and dutifully indicates [icon] that I have the option to display those lyrics. When I actually enable the lyrics, however, I see only a large, black rectangle -- i.e. no lyrics.

I have confirmed that the LRC file is correctly formatted, for example:

[0:14:00]I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
[0:23:00]And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
o o o

and the file was encoded using UTF-8. I'm running v3.02 [latest] of the System Software.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong? e.g. Is it possible that lyrics would not work with HiRes files?

Hi there,

Welcome to the Sony Community.

It would be best to get in touch with the Sony Support team here for further help.

Best wishes,

My bad, because (contrary to my original perception) my LRC file format did not conform to the requirements. i.e. The minutes field requires two digits, even when the first digit is a zero. The same requirement applies to the seconds and 100ths-of-seconds fields.

So the corrected LRC file looks like this (note the leading zeros):

[00:14:00]I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
[00:23:00]And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
o o o

and now displays correctly on the WM1A.
