TROUBLE SHOOTING

TV

To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming channel 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 auto- matically 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. There may be a button 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, turn your 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 work- ing, you may need to search the main menu for a way to determine your auxiliary channel. 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 showing on your television screen. To obtain 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 tele- vision 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, horizontal, 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 are still unsuccessful connecting the con- sole, then you may need to check your VCR owner’s manual 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 sure it 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.

74065 specifications

The Sega 74065 is a significant product in the realm of gaming technology, notably within arcade machines and home consoles during the era of the 1980s. Released in a competitive age dominated by rapidly evolving graphics and sound, the 74065 played a critical role in shaping the gaming experiences of that time.

One of the hallmark features of the Sega 74065 is its rich audio capabilities. Designed with a powerful sound architecture, it could produce vibrant audio tracks and sound effects that elevated gameplay. The audio chip was capable of triggering multiple channels simultaneously, allowing for layered soundscapes that added an immersive dimension to gaming. Players could hear everything from the realistic sound of footsteps to the exciting explosions that characterized many arcade classics.

The graphics processing capabilities of the Sega 74065 were notable for their time. It utilized a tile-based graphics system that allowed for efficient rendering of sprites and backgrounds. This technology enabled developers to create visually engaging levels without compromising performance. The chip supported a palette of vibrant colors, which allowed artists to deliver rich aesthetics that captured the attention of gamers.

In terms of performance, the Sega 74065 was built to handle fast-paced gameplay, making it popular for action-oriented games. The architecture was designed to minimize lag, ensuring that players enjoyed a smooth and responsive gaming experience. Its ability to manage multiple sprites on-screen simultaneously without significant slowdowns made it a preferred option for many arcade titles.

Power efficiency was another key characteristic of the 74065. Despite its robust capabilities, the chip was engineered to run efficiently, which was crucial in arcade environments where operational costs were a serious concern. The efficiency helped reduce heat generation and power consumption, allowing for longer operational hours and less need for downtime.

Additionally, the Sega 74065 supported various expansion options, allowing developers to customize their games further. This flexibility contributed to a diverse library of titles, each leveraging the chip's capabilities in unique ways.

In conclusion, the Sega 74065 marked an important milestone in gaming technology, blending powerful audio and graphics capabilities with efficient performance. Its impact is still felt in modern gaming, as many concepts and designs pioneered during its time continue to influence the industry today. The legacy of the 74065 remains a testament to Sega's commitment to pushing the boundaries of gaming technology.
