Spinball Flipper Tips
• Launch Sonic by tilting both flippers together with Button C.
• Watch for lights and arrows leading toward important spots in the back-
ground.
• Catch Sonic on the flippers by holding them up just as Sonic moves into
the Alley Ramp.

• If Sonic falls into the drain, it could be the end unless you take quick
action.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming
channel 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 automatically 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 cor-
rect 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 working, 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 television
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 console, 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 con-
nection 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.
