Enjoying a slide show of your own pictures
You can watch a slide show while listening to a song on
the internal hard disk, a USB storage device, or an audio
CD (see page 40 for how to watch “VIMA TUNES” slide
shows).
The JM-8 comes with 430 photo files grouped into vari-
ous categories. These photos can be used for automatic
slide show generation. If you do not change the related
setting, the JM-8 automatically makes a random selec-
tion of a picture category whose pictures are displayed
as a slide show whenever you start song playback. See
page 71 for how to select a specific picture category and
“START WITH SONG” on p. 71.
If you select “Auto” as picture category, only one cate-
gory will be selected and used until you switch the
[SLIDE SHOW] button off and back on again. In that
case, the JM-8 will select a different category until you
switch the [SLIDE SHOW] off and back on again.
Note: You can also prepare your own photos (see p. 68).
In the following, we assume that the pictures you want
to use are in a folder on a USB storage device. If you
select
[INTERNAL]
or
[CD]
in step (4), however, the proce-
dure also works for pictures on the internal hard disk or
a CD-ROM.
(1) Connect an external screen to the JM-8 (see p. 16).
(2) Connect your USB storage device to the JM-8’s
EXTERNAL MEMORY port.
Note: See “If you can’t see the song (or folder) you need”
on p. 24 if you cannot see the folder you are looking for.
(3) Select a song (see p. 23 and following).
(4) Press the name of the folder that contains the
desired photo files.
