CONNECTING RADICA PLAY TV PING PONG™ TO YOUR TV OR VCR

CONNECTING TO A TV

NOTE: To connect Play TV Ping Pong™ directly to a TV, the TV must be equipped with audio and video input jacks. They are commonly found on the front of the TV near the contrast, color, and picture adjustment controls, or on the rear of the TV near the antenna and cable/satellite jacks.

If your TV does have audio and video input jacks, insert the yellow video plug into the video-in (yellow) jack on your TV; the white audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack; and the red audio plug into the right audio-in (red) jack. Then set the TV to the appropriate video input mode (see your TV operating manual for details).

Please Note: If your TV is not stereo, you can either plug the white audio plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug disconnected, or, if you would like to hear sounds from both the left and right audio channels, you can use a 2 into 1 audio cable (available at your local electronics store) to connect both the white and red plugs to the single audio-in jack.

If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may connect Ping Pong through a VCR connected to your TV.

CONNECTING TO A VCR

To connect Play TV Ping Pong™ to the VCR connected to your TV, insert the yellow video plug into the video-in (yellow) jack on your VCR; the white audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack; and the red audio plug into the right audio-in (red) jack. Then set the TV and VCR to the appropriate video input modes (see your VCR and TV operating manuals for details).

Please Note: If your VCR is not stereo, you can either plug the white audio plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug disconnected, or, if you would like to hear sounds from both the left and right audio channels, you can use a 2 into 1 audio cable (available at your local electronics store) to connect both the white and red plugs to the single audio-in jack.

ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN CONNECTING CABLES TO A TV AND VCR.

GETTING STARTED

•Place the Console on a table in front of the TV.

•When serving and returning the ball, you will need to stand in

front of the Console in order for the sensors in the Paddle to relay information to the computer. Make sure the Paddles and the Console are in direct line of sight, free of obstacles.

WARNING: Make sure the Console is located far enough from the TV and from other people, animals, and objects to avoid striking them when you swing the Paddle.
