- downloading previously stored groups of text characters, each group representing a respective phrase of text and each text character including start/end bits and symbol identifying bits, the start/end bits designating said each text character as one of at least a start, an intermediary character, a space between characters, and an end of the respective phrase and the symbol identifying bits identifying a respective text symbol for display;
assembling a phrase of text symbols in response to the start/end bits and the symbol identifying bits of a downloaded group of text characters; and
displaying the assembled phrase of text symbols.

Abstract
Text symbols associated with audio data reproducible from a recording disc are displayed by downloading previously stored groups of text characters, each group representing a respective phrase of text. Each text character includes start/end bits to indicate the start and end of respective phrases as well as symbol identifying bits to identify a respective text symbol in the phrase. The start/end and symbol identifying bits of a downloaded group of text characters are used to assemble a phrase of text symbols; and the assembled phrase is displayed.
