Displaying Favorite Images on an External
Display or Television (Slide Show)
With the RG-3M, you can display desired image data (slide shows) saved to
USB memory on a connected external display or television screen.
You can also use VIMA CD-ROMs (VIMA TUNES) sold by Roland.
This allows you to display slide shows contained on CD-ROMs on a display
or television at the same time that songs are played back.

hat is VIMA?
Presented by Roland, VIMA
represents an entirely new
concept in keyboards.
It lets you connect LCD
televisions, video cameras,
portable audio players, and
other devices, enabling you
to enjoy music and video
whether or not you have
experience in performing
music.
You can have images be
displayed in the order you
prefer by changing the file
names. By adding a number
from 001 through 999 to the
six- to eight-character file
name, you can have the files
b
e displayed according to
their numerical order.
NOTE
•The folder named
“_PICTURE” is not shown
in the Song Select screen.
•Some images may not be
displayed in the slide show
if 500 or more files,
including images, are
contained in a single folder.
You can save this setting in
the RG-3M’s memory using
the Memory Backup
function (p. 75).
