EGENDS OUTRUN 2019

A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or
patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while
watching TV pictures or playing video games. Players who have not had any
seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

Consult your physician before playing video games if you have an epileptic
condition or experience any of the following symptoms while playing video
games: altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, other involuntary movements,
loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion and/or convulsions.

READY…SET…GO!

Get ready for the wildest drive of your life. Five incredible cross-country races
take you thr
ous roads – in the world. You’ll travel at speeds that will test the limits of your
skills, reflexes…and nerve. A sound racing strategy can also mean the differ­ence between a disastrous crash and setting a new world speed record.

ULES OF THE ROAD

You begin each race from a tunnel. Wait for the signal to go, then hit the
ACCELERATOR and keep the following rules in mind:

Complete each route in the shortest time possible! You’re allowed a max­imum of 80 seconds to complete the first route. If you run out of time before
to complete a route, you are retired from the race and the game ends. If you
make it to the next route with seconds to spare, the words EXTENDED PLAY!
will appear, and the seconds you had remaining will be added to the time
allotted for the next route.

cket wisely!

Use your booster r

the accelerator. When your POWER GAUGE turns white and begins flashing,
get ready for a burst of speed that will take you up to 682 MPH. You can
continue at this speed until you hit an obstacle or you use the brakes. Avoid
firing your booster rocket by slowing down or touching the brakes just as the
rocket seems ready to fire.

Dodge road traps! Some of the routes are in terrible shape. Many haz­ardous bridges don’t have guard rails, and some roads are littered by con­struction signs and slippery sand. On some routes, entire sections of the

oad are missing. Other routes are full of slower drivers who would like noth-

r
ing better than to block you off.

TV CONNECTION

NOTE: To connect Outrun 2019 directly to a TV, the TV must be equipped with
audio and video input jacks or a Scart input. 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.

CONNECTING TO A VCR

To connect Outrun 2019 to your VCR, insert the yellow video plug from the Main
Unit into the video in (yellow) jack on your VCR, the white audio plug into the
left audio in (white) jack or via the Scart adaptor. Then set the VCR to the
appropriate video input mode (see your VCR’s operating manual for details).

be no time to look at the scenery. Rally on a challenging dirt course. Rolling
hills wreak havoc, while poor visibility and several sharp curves will have you
standing on the brake. The road is out in several spots. Tall trees, stone
blocks, and columns loom on either side of the course. Deep pits will swal­low any car that strays from the track.

H

IGHWAY HINTS

• Use your BRAKE. The driver who never lets off the ACCELERATOR runs off
the road a lot.

• For best results at high speeds, try to straighten out the corners by driving
in as straight a line as possible while staying on the road. Or use your
BRAKE to cut to the inside of a tur
turn.

• Learn the trouble spots of each stage and plan your routes accordingly.

• Use your booster rocket wisely. Try to calculate the timing of your boosts
accordingly to the track layout.

ROUBLE SHOOTING

T

V

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 cor
rect 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 correct 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 r

, and then ACCELERATE during the

pair company.

COMPLETING A STAGE

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 ar
