2. ACCESSORIES
Below is a list of items that are packaged with the HOUSE OF THE DEAD STD game. If you
have purchased a game withoout recieving the following accessories please contact your
distributer.

3. ASSEMBLING PRECAUTIONS
Assembling should be performed as per this manual. Since this is a complex
machine, erroneous assembling may cause damage to the machine, or malfunctioning to
occur. When assembling, be sure to perform work by plural persons. Depending on the
assembly work, there are some cases in which performing the work by a single person
can cause personal injury or parts damage.
Note that the tools such as a Phillips screwdriver and wrench for M16 hexagon bolt w/24 mm
width across flats are required for the assembly work.
When carrying out the assembly work, follow the procedure in the following 3-item
sequence:

[1.] SECURING IN PLACE (ADJUSTER ADJUSTMENT)
Be sure to have all the Adjusters make contact with the surface. Unless the
Adjusters come into contact with the surface, the Cabinet can move of itself, causing an
accident.
This machine has 4 each of casters and adjusters (fig. 3.1a). When the installation position is
determined, cause the adjusters to come into contact with the floor directly, make adjustments
in a manner so that the casters will be raised approximately 5mm. from the floor and make
sure that the machine position is level.

[2.] POWER SUPPLY
Ensure that the power cord is not exposed on the surface (passage, etc.). If
exposed, they can be caught and are susceptible to damage. If damaged, the cord can
cause an electric shock or short circuit. Ensure that the wiring position is not in the
customer's passage way or the wiring has protective covering.
The AC Unit is mounted on the left side of the FRONT CABINET . The AC Unit
incorporates the Main SW. Firmly insert the Power Plug into the Socket Outlet. Turn the
Main SW ON to turn power ON.
1) Ensure that the main power SW is OFF.
REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF FUSE
In order to prevent electrical shock, be sure to turn power off before performing
work by touching the interior parts of the the product. Be careful so as not to damage
wirings. Damaged wirings can cause an electrical shock or short circuit accident. Be
sure to use fuses meeting specified rating. Using fuses exceeding the specified rating can
cause a fire or electrical shock. After eliminating the cause of the fuse blowing,
continued use with the fuse as is blown can cause generation of heat resulting in fire.
1.> Unplug the unit.
2.> Remove the AC Switch Panel on the left side of the Front Cabinet.
3.> The 3 fuses are now visible. Replace the blown fuse. Always replace the fuses with the same type and
current rating for continued protection.
4.> By using the reverse procedure reinstall the AC Switch Panel.

[3.] ASSEMBLY CHECK
In the TEST MODE, ensure that the assembly has been made correctly and IC BD is satisfactory (refer to
Section 6). In the test mode, perform the following test:
Selecting the MEMORY TEST on the test mode menu screen
causes the on-board memory to be tested automatically. The game
board is satisfactory if the display beside each IC No. shows
GOOD.
Selecting the INPUT TEST on the test mode menu screen causes
the screen (on which each switch is tested) to be displayed. Press
each switch. For the coin switch test, insert a coin from the coin
inlet with the coin chute door being open. If the display beside
each switch indicates "ON," the switch and wiring connections are
satisfactory.
Select "OUTPUT TEST" from the Test Menu in the Test Mode to
have the Lamp Test Screen displayed. Check if each lamp lights
up satisfactorily.

[3.] ASSEMBLY CHECK cont'd
In the Test Mode, selecting SOUND TEST causes the screen, on
which the sound related BD and wiring connections are tested, to be
displayed. Be sure to check if the sound is emitted from each
speaker and the sound volume is appropriate.
In the TEST MODE menu, selecting C.R.T. TEST allows the screen
(on which the monitor is tested) to be displayed. Although the
monitor adjustments have been made at the time of shipment from
the factory, color deviation, etc., may occur due to the effect caused
by geomagnitism, the location building's steel frames and other
game machines in the periphery. By watching the test mode screen,
make adjustment as to whether an adjustment is needed. If it is
necessary, adjust the monitor by referring to Section 9. In case of
color deviation due to the monitor's magnetization, use DAMAGE
SW (see Section 6).
On the menu screen in the test mode, selecting GUN SETTING
displays the screen on which gun setting is set. Check to see if there
is any problem for playing game.
Perform the above inspection also at the time of monthly inspection.

4. PRECATIONS TO BE HEEDED WHEN MOVING
THE MACHINE
When moving the machine, be sure to pull out the plug from the power supply.
Moving the machine with the plug as is inserted can damage the power cord and cause a
fire or electric shock.
When moving the machine on the floor, retract the Adjusters and ensure that Casters
make contact with the floor. During transportation, pay careful attention so that Casters
do not tread power cords. Damaging the power cords can cause an electric shock and/or
short circuit.
When lifting the cabinet, be sure to hold the catch portions or bottom part. Lifting the
cabinet by holding other portions can damage parts and installation portions, due to the
empty weight of the cabinet, and cause personal injury.
Use care when handling glass made parts. When the glass is damaged, fragmentsof glass
may cause injury.

5. CONTENTS OF GAME
1.> Inserting a coin(s) causes the credit display on the bottom of the screen to count. Inserting
one credit worth of coin(s) changes the message on the bottom of the screen from the
"INSERT COIN(S)" to "PRESS START BUTTON" and both of the start buttons will flash.
2.> Pressing either of the start buttons determines which side (left or right) you are playing
on. Press the START button to start the game.
3.> After starting the game, the Title of the Stage being started and the purpose of game are
displayed.
° The life points and the number of bullets of the left-hand side player (1P) are displayed on the lower left-hand
side of the screen, and those of the right-hand side player (2P), on the lower right-hand side of the screen.
° The player loses one life if he shoots a hostage by mistake.
° The gun holds bullets. When it runs out of ammo, "RELOAD" is displayed on the screen. At this time, point
outside the screen and pull the trigger to reload.
° The enemy's axes, knives, drum cans, barrels, etc., can be shot down for your defense.
° Shooting the background scenery can cause Special Items to appear sometimes. The Special Items can be
captured by shooting. Capturing an item allows you to earn points or recovers life points (explanations as regards
to the Items are given later).
° When the life point becomes zero, the game is over.
° Downing the boss character awaiting you at the end of each stage results in clearing that particular stage. The
player cannot defeat the boss until his life meter becomes zero (the boss character's life meter).

4.> If you would like to join in the game at anytime while the other person is playing, insert a
coin(s) and press the start button. Also, when credits allowing the game to be played still
remain, the start button on the other side will keep flashing. The player can participate i the
game by pressing the flashing button.
5.> When the life point becomes zero, if you want continue, insert a coin(s) required to
continue and press the start button. If credits allowing the player to continue still remain, you
can continue by merely pressing the start button.
6.> At the time of game over, if the player's score ranks 10th or higher, hi/her name can be
entered.
CONCERNING SPECIAL ITEMS
LIFE> The life point increases by one. The upper limit of Life Point
can be set to 3, 4, and 5.
COIN or GOLDEN FROG> Capturing either of these items increases the Life Point.
KNACK OF PLAY
°Accurately shoot at the head: In each stage, the head is the weak point of
enemy characters other than the Boss. Hitting the head greatly decreases the
enemy's life points and can down the enemy quickly. In the latter half of the
stages, the higher the stage level you proceed to, the more important the
shooting accuracy becomes.
°Look for your favorite routes: The stage has various routes which are
determined by the player's action. Some routes have less enemy appearance,
frequent life recovery, etc. You can master a knack of play by looking for
your favorite routes.
°Memorizing the enemy's appearance position: Since the enemy's appearance pattern is the same every time,
you can also master a knack of play by memorizing such pattern through repeated game play.
