Muting the Melody of an Internal Song or Music Files for a Sing-along (Melody Mute)

The "Melody Mute" function lets you temporarily mute the melody from the playback of
an internal song or of music files. Let's try singing the melody while you listen to the song.
NOTE
Prepare to play back the desired song.
1.
If you want to play back SMF music files from a CD-ROM or USB memory, insert the CD-ROM into
the CD drive (p. 38) or connect your USB memory to external memory connector (p. 104).

There's also a "Melody Guide function" (p. 61), which decreases the melody to a lower
(but still audible) level. This provides a convenient way for you to learn the melody.
The Melody Mute function won't work with a music CD.
