STRATA TIME KILLERS
STEREO/MONO OPTION

SUBJECT
One of Time Killers umque
features is stereo sound. It has
come to our attention that
some operators are not ben-
efiting from Time Killers ste-
reo capabilities, either by not
hooking up two speakers, or by
hooking up 2 speakers as
mono instead of stereo.
A major part of Time Killers
ppeal is the stereo sound.
Eliminating this feature
means an operator will only
get half the sounds the game is
capable of producing which
could seriously lower earn-
ings. (All our coin reports were
based on Stereo Sound in use
in Time Killers .)
If, for some reason, an opera-
tor doesn't want to use the ste-
reo capabilities, the game soft-
ware can accommodate use of
two speakers in mono, but the
instructions as described be-
low must be followed. (These
instructions are not in the
game's installation manual.)
STEREO !MONO SOUND OPTION
f you used the existing
JAMMA harness when in-
stalling your Time Killers kit,
you may only be hearing
sound from the left amplifier
(older JAMMA harnesses did
not accommodate stereo). This
means your customers are
only hearing half of the music
and half of the sound effects.
STEREO HOOK-UP
If you have two speakers in
your cabinet, the simplest
thing to do is to wire the right
speaker up to pins 11 & M (see
page 21 JAMMA harness lay-
out in your Time Killers
manual).
MoNo HooK-UP
If you only have one speaker in
your cabinet, then there is an
operator adjustable that sends
all sounds to both speakers.
However, this defeats the ste-
reo sound placement of Time
Killers .
1. Go into operator adjustables
2. Select Stereo sound settings
3. Highlight Mono sound
4. Press the Start 1 button
5. Exit out of operator
