Before you start using the JM-8

VIMA JM-8

This can be remedied by:

• Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).

• Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from

speakers.

•Lowering volume levels.

Connecting an amplifier, active speakers or a

mixer

• Before connecting the JM-8 to an amplification sys-

tem, be sure to switch off both the JM-8 and the

external device.

• Connect the JM-8’s AUDIO OUTPUT sockets to the

line input(s) of your amplifier or mixer.

•After establishing the connections, first switch on the

JM-8, then the amplifier or mixer. See “Turning the

power on/off” on p. 18 for details.

Connecting an external display or a

television

Note: You can’t use the VIDEO jack and RGB connector at the

same time.

Connecting a television

Note: Before you make connections to other devices, you

must turn down the volume of all devices and turn off

their power to prevent malfunctions or damage to your

speakers.

(1) Switch off the JM-8 and the television you’ll be

connecting.

(2) Connect the JM-8 to your television, use a video

cable (commercially available) to connect the

JM-8’s OUTPUT VIDEO jack to the television.

(3) Switch on the JM-8 (see p. 18).

(4) Switch on your television.

(5) Activate the VIDEO OUTPUT [VIDEO] display button

(see p. 64).

(6) (As necessary) Specify the television output format

(see p. 64).

(7) Specify the aspect ratio (ratio between width and

height) for your television.

•The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship

between the width and height of the screen. The

JM-8’s screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9. Televisions

can have an aspect ratio of either 4:3 or 16:9 (wide

screen).

■ If your television has both a video jack and an

RGB connector

The JM-8’s provides both a VIDEO and an RGB con-

nector. You may use either of these, depending on

the type of connector provided on your television.

We recommend that you use the RGB connection,

because it will provide a higher-quality picture than

the VIDEO connector.

Connecting an external display

■ Types of displays that can be connected

In general, you can connect any display that is sold as

a “multiscan monitor”. However, to be certain, please

check the following specifications before you con-

nect your display.

Note: Before you make connections to other devices, you

must turn down the volume of all devices and turn off the

power to prevent malfunctions or damage to your speak-

ers.

(8) Switch off the JM-8 and the display you’ll be con-

necting.

(9) Use a commercially available monitor cable to con-

nect the JM-8’s RGB connector to the analog RGB

connector of your display.

(10) Switch on the JM-8 (page 18).

(11) Switch on the connected display.

For details on how to use your external display, refer

to the owner’s manual for your display.

(12) Press the VIDEO OUTPUT [RGB] display button (see

p. 64).

Switching off your television or external display

external display in the following order.
