In order to use your new TV Games unit, you will need to
follow three basic steps: 1. Insert Batteries in to the TV Games Unit To insert the NEW AA batteries in the compartment located in the TV
games unit you will have to unscrew the compartment (located under the
joystick) with a small screwdriver. Once you have inserted the NEW AA
batteries, you will need to replace the lid to the compartment and replace
and screw in the screw. Only NEW AA batteries should ever be used with this product. Please
never mix alkaline, standard (Carbon-zinc) and rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium) batteries or this product will not work properly. In
addition, it is not recommended that rechargeable batteries be used with
this product. 2. Connect the TV Games Unit to the TV or VCR The Audio video cable that is attached to the TV Games Unit has a
yellow input and a white input. This cable needs to be plugged into either your TV or VCR. The Yellow input should be plugged into the Video IN, which is a yellow
outlined hole on your TV or VCR. The White input should be plugged into the “Audio In” which is a white
outlined hole on your TV or VCR. 3. Once the AV Cables are Connected to the TV or
VCR You may need to select the appropriate “Line-in source”. To do this,
you will need to first turn on the TV games unit. a. For Multiple Input Televisions On TV's that have multiple inputs there is usually a button labeled
"Input" or "source" on the remote control. Pressing this button cycles
through the available input sources. If you have plugged the TV games unit
into "Video 1" you would need to press this button until source Video 1 is
selected at which time you should see the game on your screen. In most
cases, you will need the original remote to your TV to access the menu. If
you do not have the original remote control, then the Owners Manual for
your TV should provide instructions on how to do this without the remote
control. b. Single Input Televisions On TV's that have only 1 input source there is usually a button that
says "line" or "Line in" or "Line/ANT" or "Input" on the remote control.
If this button exists pressing it should select line in as the active
source and you should see the game on your screen. If your remote doesn't
have one of these buttons or something similar, try changing the channel
to "00" or "01" using the number pad on your remote control. In most
cases, you will need the original remote to your TV to access the menu. If
you do not have the original remote control, then the Owners Manual for
your TV should provide instructions on how to do this without the remote
control. If the steps above do not work, please consult the manufacturers guide
for your TV to determine how to select the line input for your particular
brand and model. If this still does not resolve the problem, please
contact the Customer Service Support Line for your television
manufacturer. c. VCR / DVD Connection Setup your television as if you were going to watch a tape from your
VCR/DVD. You may need to press the "TV/VCR" button so that you are viewing
the VCR's output on your TV screen. Using the VCR/ DVD remote control look for a button that says "Line" or
"Line in" or "Line/ANT" or "Input" or "Source" pressing this button should
select line in as the source for the VCR/DVD and you should then see the
game on your screen. In most cases, you will need the original remote to your VCR/DVD to
access the menu. If you do not have the original remote control, then the
Owners Manual for your VCR/DVD should provide instructions on how to do
this without the remote control. If the steps above do not work, please consult the manufacturers guide
for your VCR/DVD to determine how to select the line input for your
particular brand and model. If this still does not resolve the problem,
please contact the Customer Service Support Line for your VCR/DVD
manufacturer. ADDITIONAL TIPS: 1. Depending on your type of TV or VCR/DVD, then “Video In” and “Audio
In” will be located in different places but usually they are located in
the back of the TV or VCR/DVD. 2. If you are connecting your TV Games unit by plugging it in to the AV
outlets on your VCR or DVD player, you will need to make sure your VCR or
DVD player is on or it will not work. 3. If you are connecting your TV Games unit directly to your TV but
there is a cable box also connected to your TV, you will need to access
the set up menu and change the source of the input just as you would if
you were using a VCR or DVD. In most cases, you will need the original
remote to your TV to access the menu. If you do not have the original
remote control, then the Owners Manual for your TV should provide
instructions on how to do this without the remote
control. TROUBLESHOOTING A. Connecting to the TV or VCR - If you have plugged the Audio
Visual Cable in properly but still cannot get the product to work, the
following additional steps might need to be taken depending on the make
and model of your TV and/or VCR: 1. Connections to Satellite systems may interfere with reception.
Again, depending on the make and model of your TV and/or VCR, you may need

re-connect the TV Games Unit as indicated above. 2. If your TV has an option for “Games” or ȁGames Systems”,

Manufacturer for their assistance. B. Problems once Connected - If you have successfully connected
your TV Games unit to your TV or VCR and have been able to use it but
