VIMA JM-5
9. Adding pictures to the music
You can connect an external display or a television set to the JM-5, and use it to watch a slide show, or single pictures.
Displaying photos automatically
The JM-5 can display digital photos either in succession,
thus creating an automatic slide show, or use the pic-
ture you choose as background on the external screen.
Enjoying a VIMA TUNES slide show
You can watch a slide show while listening to a “VIMA
TUNES” song (produced for the VIMA series).
Songs on “VIMA TUNES” CD-ROMs provide slide show
images suitable for each song, making it easy for you to
enjoy a slide show without having to provide your own
photos.
