INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the NEO-GEO MULTI VIDEO SYSTEM. This unique system by
SNK enables you to save space and maximize your income with PCBs
of high quality and of easy maintenance.
The newly developed MV-1FZ has been more compactly designed than
any former PCBs for carrying one NEO-GEO game, and the PCB can
be directly connected to the JAMMA standardized cabinet.
Income data keeping and other featured functions of all NEO-GEO
systems are of course available with MV-1FZ, too.
Please read this service manual carefully before starting to use
the MVS and keep it at your side for further reference.
