Page 27: Common Questions And Answers
Why can't I hear the metronome? Check the volume on your TV. The mettonome sound comes out of the TV, not out of The Miracle keyboard, so your TV volume must be high enough for you to hear it. Check your Sega Genesis System. See if other games make noise. If they don't, make sure your Sega Genesis System is properly connected to your TV (see your Sega Genesis System owner's manual).
Page 28 COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Why can't I hear the metronome when I use the earphones? The melronome sound comes out of your TV, not out of the Miracle speakers and not out of the earphones. Make sure the TV volume is loud enough so you can hear the metronome while you are wearing your earphones.
