epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms while
playing video games: altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, other
involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental
confusion and/or convulsions.
Get off the couch and onto the field!

On the back of the main unit, open the battery compartment and insert
four (4) AA batteries as indicated inside the compartment (alkaline
batteries recommended). Replace the battery compartment door.

game play (if alkaline batteries are used). The game will not operate
normally when the batteries begin to run low. The screen may be blurred
and resetting the game may not work. Be sure to install fresh batteries.
There is also no memory function. All game data will be erased when the
power is turned off or batteries are replaced.
ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN INSTALLING
BATTERIES.

TV CONNECTION
NOTE: To connect Play TV Football 2 directly to a TV, the TV must be
equipped with audio and video input jacks. They are commonly found on
the front of the TV near the contrast, color, and picture adjustment con-
trols or on the rear of the TV near the antenna and cable/satellite jacks.
If your TV has audio and video input jacks, insert the yellow video plug
from the Main Unit into the video-in (yellow) jack on your TV, the white
audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack. Then set the TV to the ap-
propriate video input mode (see your TV's operating manual for details).
If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may connect
Play TV Football 2 through a VCR connected to your TV.
CONNECTING TO A VCR
E
To connect Play TV Football 2 to your VCR, insert the yellow video
plug from the Main Unit into the video-in (Yellow) jack on your VCR, the
white audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack. Then set the VCR to
the appropriate video input mode (see your VCR's operating manual for
details).
Remember, you can't play our games through a cable box or satellite, so
if you own one of these make sure it is turned off before connecting the
game. You can connect our games through some DVD players with the
same connection as a VCR.

IT'S TIME TO PLAY!
At the Main Menu, tap the Directional Buttons with your foot to choose
"Player 1 vs. Computer", "Player 1 vs. Player 2", or "Training Camp".
Lock in your selection by tapping the Action Button (X).
NOTE: Just like the pros, before playing a game you may want to attend
Training Camp.
TRAINING CAMP
Training Camp helps you familiarize yourself with the way the running
mat and Football work. After you choose Training Camp, pick one of the
three mini games to improve your skills.
QUARTERBACK CHALLENGE
Power
In this game, you must pass the football to one of three receivers. "Hike"
the football by quickly snapping it back to your chest with both hands.
The receivers will run across the field and it's your job to throw a pass to
the open man. Using the Action, Left, or Right Directional buttons on the
running mat, quickly step on the button that represents the highlighted
receiver and throw a pass. If the left receiver is highlighted, quickly tap
the Left Directional Button. The right Button for the right receiver and
the Action Button for the center receiver. When throwing a pass, don't
actually throw the football. Simply grip it tightly and make a throwing
motion straight ahead. The motion sensors inside the ball will read this
as a pass and the quarterback on the screen will throw the ball. Once all
nine balls are thrown, your final score is calculated based on your actual
quarterback rating, just like the pros. A perfect rating equals 158.3.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT actually throw the ball. Throwing the ball
could cause injury and damage the game itself. Use the safety strap at-
tached to the football when in use.
RUNNING BACK CHALLENGE
This will hone your running skills and help you get your timing down to
run the ball in for a touchdown. Grip the football tightly and snap the ball
to start the game. It's up to you to run down the field as fast as you can
while avoiding various defenders along the way.
Your player will automatically run, but it's up to you to give him a "turbo
boost" by actually running on the two Directional Buttons. The Turbo
Meter at the bottom of the screen shows how big a boost you give him.
When a defender tries to tackle you, just before he gets to you, quickly
step on the Action Button to Spin or give him a Stiff Arm. The faster you
get down the field, the better your score.
