NFL FOOTBALL CREDIT AND
SELF-TEST SWITCH
1. The red credit button and self-test switch
will not be used presently.
2. The ROM RAM and switch test is not
available.
3. The self-test switch must be in the UP
position for proper coin credits.
DISC BREAK-IN PERIOD
A certain amount of skipping may be noticed in
the first hours of use. This is normal and will
not affect the play of the game. As the game is
played, this condition will subside.
DISC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Your new CED VideoDisc and VideoDisc
Player may require periodic cleaning. This is
evident when excessive skipping is observed
after the initial break-in period. The following
instructions will help in minimizing this
condition.
1. Unloading and reloading the disc into the
videodisc player cleans both the disc and
stylus in the player. In most cases this will
correct the problem.
2. If the above does not correct the excessive
skipping, you may flip the disc over. The
same material has been encoded onto both
sides of the videodisc.
1. Tum main power off.
2. Disconnect J3 from the IPU Board. (This
unleashes the player from the logic.)
3. Tum main power on.
4. Press "Reject" - located on front label of
player.
5. Insert disc cover when display reads" UL" -
indicating unload.
6. After disc has been removed, tum power
switch off(located on front panel of player)
and wait momentarily until door closes.
7. Tum main power off.
8. Replace J3 on IPU Board
The player should NOT be allowed to sit idle
with the door open for long periods of time.
