Symptom 1

2-5 Measures to be taken when there is a network abnormality

If the “NETWORK ERROR” message appears, if any item responds incorrectly in the
network communication check described on pages 19 and 20, or if the projector
displays differ from the specified ones, take the following measures.

•If the machine still shows the same trouble or any troubles that are not

discussed in this manual, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug
the power cord and contact your nearest dealer.

Possible causes and measures to be taken

Possible causes

Measures

•The “Network ID” settings are improper.

•The networking cable is in trouble.

•An unnecessary networking cable is
connected with the pin jacks of the first
and last machines.

·Readjust the “Network ID” settings on
the “NETWORK OPTIONS” screen in
the manual test mode. (See page 19)

·Reconnet the networking cable
properly between the machines.

·Replace the networking cable with new
one.

·Disconnect the network cable frpm
those pin jacks. (see page 26 of the
“RACING JAM

4 How to play

The “RACING JAMTM CHAPTER II” virtual-reality racing game, with its high-quality graphics, provides for
unprecedented realism and sense of speed.
The full-scale race driving game also gives you the thrill of car racing such as drifting, counter-steering, load
center shift at cornering, spin turning and other actions.

How to play
1 Put a coin in the slot.

The “COURSE SELECT” screen appears.

2 Select one out of the following courses using the steering wheel.

Step on the acceleration pedal to enter the selection.

•Course selection

•Beginners’ course

·BANK ........................................................... High-speed circuit racecourse with huge

bank corners one after another.

·NIGHT ..........................................................High-speed city road course in a

nighttime setting partially provided with
the opposite lane.

•Medium-level course

·CROSS ROAD ............................................. Circuit racecourse in a thrilling

arrangement of crossroads, merging
traffic and jumping blocks.

•Advanced level course

·Winding ........................................................ Circuit racecourse dotted with tight

hairpin curves.

3 On the “CAR SELECT” screen, select one of the 18 different-performance machines in

existence. Use the steering wheel to select a machine, and step on the acceleration pedal
or press the start button to enter the choice.
