Owner’s Manual
Thank you and congratulations on your choice of the Roland VIMA JM-5.
To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the JM-5’s functionality, please read
this owner’s manual carefully.
About this manual
You should first read the chapter “Before you start using the JM-5” on p. 14. It explains how to connect the AC adaptor
and turn on the power. This Owner’s Manual explains everything, from the JM-5’s basic operations to more advanced
functions.
Conventions in this manual
In order to explain the operations as clearly as possible, this manual uses the following conventions:
•Text enclosed in square brackets [ ] indicates the name of a button or knob. Example: the [PLAYLIST] button.
•Paragraphs that begin with “NOTE” are cautionary statements that you must read.
•Paragraphs that begin with “MEMO” contain useful information that may come in handy.
•The numbers of pages that you can turn to for additional or related information are given like this: (p. **).
The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note,
however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., include newer sounds), so what
you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
Before using this instrument, carefully read “Using the unit safely” on p. 4 and “Important notes” on p. 6. Those sec-
tions provide information concerning the proper operation of the JM-5. Additionally, in order to feel assured that
you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, the manual should be read in its entirety.
The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

Using the unit safely
•Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC
adaptor.
.................................................................................................
•Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within
it (except when this manual provides specific instructions
directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland dis-
tributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
.................................................................................................
•Never install the unit in any of the following locations.
•Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight
in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of
heat-generating equipment); or are
•Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
•Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
•Subject to salt exposure; or are

.................................................................................................
•Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level
and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that
could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
.................................................................................................
•Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the
unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's
body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or
be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in
damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
.................................................................................................
•Use only the supplied power-supply cord. Also, the sup-
plied power cord must not be used with any other device.
.................................................................................................
•Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor
place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord,
producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged
cords are fire and shock hazards!
.................................................................................................
•This unit, in combination with an amplifier and head-
phones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound
levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not

level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit,
and consult an audiologist.
................................................................................................
•Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins,
pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to
penetrate the unit.
................................................................................................
•Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor
from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized

•Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be
especially careful when using extension cords—the total
power used by all devices you have connected to the extension
cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes)
for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on
the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
.................................................................................................
•Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Informa-
tion” page.
.................................................................................................
•The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their
location or position does not interfere with their proper
ventilation.
.................................................................................................
•Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when
plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
.................................................................................................
•At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor
and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and
other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, discon-
nect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the
unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power
outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.
.................................................................................................
•Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entan-
gled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they
are out of the reach of children.
.................................................................................................
•Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the
unit.
.................................................................................................
•Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or
this unit.
.................................................................................................
•Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and
all cords coming from external devices.
.................................................................................................
•Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug
the AC adaptor from the outlet (see p. 17).
.................................................................................................
•Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your
area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.
.................................................................................................
•Keep the included screw in a safe place out of children’s
reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed
accidentally.
.................................................................................................
•Always turn the phantom power off when connecting
any device other than condenser microphones that
require phantom power. You risk causing damage if you
mistakenly supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio
playback devices, or other devices that don't require such power.
Be sure to check the specifications of any microphone you intend
to use by referring to the manual that came with it.
(This instrument's phantom power: 48V DC, 10mA Max)
