Atari Assault Stereo Speakers Hookup
Jaines Beck
Greater Southern Distributing Co.
Atlanta, Georgia
PROCEDURE
First of all never connect any part of a
speaker system to ground, even through
another speaker. BTL ainps don't take to it
very well! There should always be outputs
marked"+" and"-" for the speakers.
• Each speaker gets its own "+" and .. -".
• Near the audio ainp you will find a set of
Jumpers marked JPl. Make sure the short-
ing block is in the STEREO position, not the
MONO.
• The SP+ and SP- (pins 10 and L on a
JAMMA connector) are the left channel out-
puts.
• Next. to the JAMMA connector. There is a
.10" spaced 48-pin connector. Pin Al is the
right channel "+", and pin B 1 is the right
channel " "
The connector is clearly
marked.
NOTE
standard inputs and outputs for things like
trackballs and stereo audio sections, etc.
Who knows?
PHASING
One last note: Watch the speaker phasing,
i.e. make sure the speakers are wired iden-
tically: "+" going to "+" on the speakers,
connectors, PCBs and so on. This will give
you the maximum bass response.

Although I don't recommend this, if you're
careful you could solder wires directly to the
connector and add quick-disconnects for
board removal later.

I guess they never took stereo gaines into
account when they decided on the JAMMA
standard. Maybe we could push for a new
version JAMMA vl .1 that would retain all of
theJAMMAcompatibilityto date and yet add

ROM ARRANGEMENTS
There are two versions of the Prisoners of
War PCB set. The first version stored all of its
graphics memory on four. 4-Megabit mask
Roms. located on the Main PCB. The second
version utilized an additional memory Sub
PCB mounted piggy-back onto the Main PCB
containing sixteen I-Megabit Roms. This
was a result of the continuing chip shortage
which is currently affecting all of the Elec-
tronics Industry. There is no difference in
game play or video images between the two
~versions.

SUB PCB NOTE
There have been several instances where the
Sub PCB has worked loose from its connec-
tions during rough shipment of the game.
This causes the game graphics to appear on
the screen as large blocks of solid colors.
Simply reseating the Sub PCB will correct
this problem.
To reseat the Sub PCB. gently push it down
onto its connectors until it is frrmly con-
nected to the Main PCB. After the Sub PCB
is reseated. you should not have a problem
with the PCB working loose on location or
during normal game rotation.
