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.
