WARNING
Properly Ground the Game. Players mzy receive an electrical
shock if this game is nor properly grounded! To avoid elccrri-
cal shock. do not plug in rhe game until i[ has been inspecrcd
and properly grounded. This game should only be plugged
inro a grounded three-wire ourlet. If you have only a Two-wire
ourler, we recommend you hire a licensed electrician ro insrail
a rhree-wire groundedoutler.
AC Power Connection. Before you plug in rbc game, be sure
rhar rhc game’s power supply can accepr rhc AC line volrage
in your locxion. The line voltage requirements are listed in
Chapter 1 of rhis manual.
Disconnect Power During Repairs. To avoid electrical shock,
disconnect rhe game from rhc AC power before removing or
repairing any pan ofcbc game.
Use Only Time Warner Interactive (TVZ) Parrs. To main-
rain the safety of your TWt game, use only TWi parrs when
you repair it. Using non-TWi parrs or modifying the game
circuitry may be dangerous, and could injure you and your
.playcrs.
Use the Proper Fuses. To avoid electrical shock, use replace-
menc fuses which are specified in.& parrs list for this game.
Rcplacemenr fuses musf march chose replaced in fuse type,
voltage rating, and currem raring. In addition, rhc fuse cover
must be in place during game operation.
CAUTION
Properly Atrach All Connectors. Make sure char rhc conncc-
~01s on each printed circuit board (PCB) are properly plugged
in. The connecmr~ are keyed to tic only one way. IF they do
nor slip on easily, do not force them. If you I~YCIIC a conncc-
tar, ir may damage your game and void your warranty.
Ensure the Proper AC Line Frequency. Games manufacrurcd
for opcrarion on 60 Hz line power (wed in rhc United Starer)
mux nor be operated in countries with 50 Hz line power
(used in Europe). If a 60 Hz machine operates on 50 HZ line
power. the fluorescent line ballasr uansformer will overhear
and caue a porenrial fire h-d. Check the product identifi-
carion label on your machine for rhe line frequency required.

CHAPTER I
T
HIS iMANUAL IS written for operators
and service personnel. It provides infor-
mation for setting q3, playing, testing,
and maintaining your Hoop It Up” game.
Hoop It Up is a two-player basketball rcdemp-
cion game featuring real basketball controls that
shoot air-activated balls into miniature hoops and
nets.
Chapter 1 of this manual contains set-up and
game play information. 9 Chapter 2 contains a de-
scription of the test functions and option settings.
The test modes are important in rhc Hoop It Up
game. Using the tests, you can troubleshoot the large
light-emitting diode (LED) score diplays, the game
printed-circuit board, and the controls. You should
regularly do these tests to keep your game in
peak condition and at top earnings. +Chapter
3 contains a troubleshooting table, plus mainre-
nance and repair procedures for rhe game compo-
nents. If you have problems with your game, use this
chapter to troubleshoot and repair it. + Chapter 4
contains the illustrations and Score Board PCB paru
list. 4 Chapter 5 contains the game wiring diagram
and the Score Board PCB schematic diagram.
Copies of the game PCB schematic are available free
of charge by contacting our Customer Service
Dept.: see the inside front cover of this
manual for the address and telephone

.Make note of the power consumprion when you sef up [his
game so char you do nor overload your electrical circuit. See
Table l-1 for the power consumprion and the orhcr important
spcciticacions of rhis game.
* Be sure ro nvirch rhe power OFF before replaying any

Inspecting the Game
Inspccr your Hoop ir Up game carefully IO ensure char rhe
game is complere and was delivered to you in good condition.
Inspea ihe cabincr as follows:
I. Examine rhe exterior of rhc cabinet for denrs, chips, or
broken parrs.
2. Open rhc lower-rear access panels. Unlock and open rhc
coin door. inspccr rhe interior ofche cabiner as follows:
a. Check char all plug-in connectors on the cabiner har-
nesses are firmly plugged in. Do nor forcc the connec-
tors rogcdxr. The connectors are keyed so rhey fit only
in [he prapcr oricnrarion. A reversed connector can
damage a printed-circuit board (PCB1. This will void
your warranty.
Ensure char ail plug-in inregrarcd circuits on each PCB
are tirmly plugged into their sackecs.
Check char the liquid crystal display (LCD) on rhe
Game PCB is securely plugged inro irs header connec-

Controls and Switch
Locations
All rhe conrrols are located in the lower rear of rhe cabinet or
behind rhc coin doors. The following paragraphs describe
these locarions in more derail.
Three small potcnriomcrcrs are mounted on the Hoop It Up
game PCB. To adjust rhesc, you need a small (jeweler‘s) Aar-
head or Phillips-head screwdriver.
Power On/Off Switch and Main Fuse
The power on/off switch is a rogglc switch locarcd on rhe
power cnuy mod&, above chc cabineri lower rear panel. This
is also the locarion of rhc game’s main fuse.
Ticket Dispensers
Two ticker dispensers, one for each playcr, are standard in the
Hoop It Up game. Servicing information on ihc mechanisms
is provided in rhc Deirronic Labs ticker dispenser manual,
which was included in your Hoop It Up game.
Liquid-Crystal Display and Keypad
These componenrs arc mounted on the Hoop Ir Up Game
PCB locared inside the lower rear access panel. (Refer IO Fig-
ure l-1 for rhe locations of all operator controls on the game
PCB.) Use the keypad IO set rhe game paramerers (optionsi,

Came Play Hints
Players should arrempr ro score as many triple bakers as passi-
ble to obtain rhe highest score possible. A triple basket is
awarded an additional 3 points, therefore scoring a total of 12
points.
There arc two aspecrs IO consistently achieving the highest
scores ar Hoop It Up -shot pacing and ball placemcnr.
Came Play
The goal is IO achieve rhe highest score possible before rhe
game rimer sounds. ending rhe game. For ticker dispensing,
players are awarded rickets based on score and number of u-
pie baskeo. which are operator adjusrablc. An audio cue of
“That’s a new rccard!” will be sounded when a player’s score is
equal to OI greater rhan rhe prior high score. The high score is
displayed and retained indefinitely, unless KSCI through the
option menu. (Refer IO Chapter 2 for derails on how ro reset
the high score.)
In a head-m-head compcririon, if the scores are tied, the game
will go into overtime, extending rhe game timer anorher 10
seconds. The first player to score a barker wins. If players arc
unable m score during the extended rime, rhe game will end
in a tie.
Advanced Game Mode
During an advanced game, players must artcmpr co sham balls
into whichever baskets are lir by red LEDs. Double and rriple
baskers .a awarded after first scoring a lir basker. There are no
bonus points given during an advanced game.
To cnrcr the advanced game mode, players must hold rhe starr
