TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming chan-
nel found mostly found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first try 00 to
see if it is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3 until a Line 1 or
Line 2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears on screen, then push
the power button on the game and it should automatically come on if you have
selected the correct channel. If this does not work, another way to determine
your auxiliary channel is to take a look at your television remote. Theremay be
abutton on the remote that may take you directly to the correct channel. The
buttons you are looking for may be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line, TV/Video, or
Video. If your remote has one of these buttons, turnyour television back to
Channel 3 and select that button. The power button on the game should be
turned on in order for the game to appear on the television. If your television
remote does not have any of these buttons, and channel 00 is not working, you
may need to search the main menu for a way to determine your auxiliary chan-
nel. If none of these methods have helped you locate your auxiliary channel,
you may need to check your owner's manual and/or contact a local television
repair company.
VCR
When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background show-
ing on your television screen. Toobtain a blue screen, try inserting a videotape
into the VCR, let it start to play, then hit the stop button. This may give you a
blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliary channel. If the blue
screen still does not appear, try entering your TV and/or VCR main menu and
see if it gives you options to select a blue screen background. Many times if
you enter the main menu on your television you can change the setting from
cable to video and display a blue screen. Also if you have an older television,
you may locate a hidden door on your television that has color,picture, horizon-
tal, vertical, and cable, antennae buttons. If your television includes this panel,
you can select the antennae/cable button and see the blue screen appears. If
you have tried all of these options and arestill unsuccessful connecting the
console, then you may need to check your VCR owner’smanual or contact the
manufacturer to find out how to set up your VCR for console games.
Remember,you can't play our games through a cable box or satellite, so if
you own one of these make sureit is turned off before connecting the game.
You can connect our games through DVD players with the same connection
as a VCR.
If you still have difficulty with setup or operation of your game, please call our
players helpline mentioned at the end of this manual.
