Quadrascan
TM
Atari's new QuadraScan'™ display
system introduced in LUNAR
LANDER'™ should be adjusted cor-
rectly at the factory for maximum
resolution. However, if brightness
and contrast adjustments are re-
quired, please follow these pro-
cedures.
Adjustments are made on the
deflection amplifier PCB located on
the right side of the monitor when
looking into the rear of the game.
1. Turn brightness (R516) and con-
trast (R526) all the way down
( counter clockwise).
2. Turn up brightness until images
are barely visible. NOTE: The
stars may not be visible.
3. Turn up contrast for desired
clarity.
This procedure will produce a very
clear, bright picture, while
minimizing any chances of phospor
burn caused by over-adjustment of
the brightness control.
Schedule an
Afan• Superbowl
With the introduction of ATARI
4-Player Football and with the new
pro season in full swing, it is an ex-
cellent time to plan a local video
football championship match. With
the 2 or 4 player versions of Atari
Football, the competition can be set
up for both singles and doubles
''teams".
Schedule regular weekly games
and playoffs similar to the pro foot-
ball leagues. A large poster in the
location announcing the schedule
and the standings is a good way to
C.A. Robinson
Named
Football Champs
NOTE: Only the brightness con-
trol (R516) and contrast control
(R526) on this PCB are "field ad-
justable''. All other controls, in-
cluding X and Y linearity have been
factory adjusted and should NOT be
tampered with.
:rpt~~
location employees can call the play
by play action and act as referee.
Send press releases to the local
community and school newspapers
to announce the event and to report
the weekly status. At play-off and
''Superbowl" time send invitations
to all the local media. After receiv-
ing the regular updates, they will be
ready to send a reporter to cover the
final competitions.
Regular football trophies as
prizes on display in the location will
draw additional attention. Another
"extra'' for authenticity would be
to award football jerseys with the
location name to the playoff teams.
This could be an excellent on-going
promotion throughout the football
season.
Team Play
Competition
HERCULES'™, The World's Larg-
est Pinball Game, is well suited for a
different kind of competition, team
play. Two players team up to play
together with one flipper button
each. This gives a different strategy
and makes a fun contest. It could be
specified that the teams be mixed
couples to encourage more females
to participate. The giant size of
HERCULES is especially good for
this type event, and makes the com-
petition an excellent spectator sport.
