TROUBLE SHOOTING

TV

To locate your auxiliary channel, whic h is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming
channel found between 2 and 99 ( example 2, 1, 0, 99), first try 0 0 to see if
it is the auxiliary channel. C hannels downwards from 3 until a L ine 1 or Line
2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears on scre en, then push
the power button on the game and it sho uld automatically come on if yo u
have selected the correct chan nel. If this does not work, anoth er way to
determine your auxiliary ch annel is to take a look at your televisi on remote.
There may be a button on the remote that m ay take you directly to the cor-
rect channel. The buttons you a re looking for may be labeled I nput, AUX,
AV, Line, TV/Video, or Video. If your rem ote has one of these buttons, tur n
your television back to Channel 3 and s elect that button. The power b utton
on the game should be turned on in or der for the game to appear on the
television. If your television remo te does not have any of these buttons, a nd
channel 00 is not working, you may ne ed to search the main menu for a way
to determine your auxiliary cha nnel. If none of these methods h ave helped
you locate your auxiliary chan nel, you may need to check your owner ’s
manual and/or contact a lo cal television repair com pany.

VCR

When connecting to a VCR, you must fir st start with a blue backgro und
showing on your television scree n. To obtain a blue screen, try inse rting
a videotape into the VCR, let it star t to play, then hit the stop button. This
may give you a blue screen, then you can ch annel down to your auxiliary
channel. If the blue screen stil l does not appear, try entering yo ur TV and/or
VCR main menu and see if it gives you optio ns to select a blue screen
background. Many times if you enter the m ain menu on your television
you can change the setting from c able to video and display a blue s creen.
Also if you have an older television, you m ay locate a hidden door on your
television that has color, picture, ho rizontal, vertical, and ca ble, antennae
buttons. If your television inclu des this panel, you can selec t the antennae/
cable button and see the blue sc reen appears. If you have trie d all of these
options and are still unsucces sful connecting the cons ole, then you may
need to check your VCR owner’s manual or con tact the manufacturer to find
out how to set up your VCR for console games .
Remember, you can’t play our games thro ugh a cable box or satellite, so
if you own one of these make sure it is turne d off before connecting the
game. You can connect our games throu gh DVD players with the same con-
nection as a VCR.
If you still have difficulty with setup o r operation of your game, plea se call
our players helpline mentione d at the end of this manual.
