COLOR
ADJUSTMENT
There
is a
simple
way to get a pattern of colors on the TV so you can
easily adjust the set. Even though you may not be familiar with the
operation of the computer right now, just follow along, and you'll see
how easy it is to use the Commodore 64.
First, look on the left side of the keyboard and locate the key marked
1iIII.
This stands for ConTRoL and is used, in conjunction with other
keys, to instruct the computer to do a specific task.
To use a control function, you hold down the
ami
key while depress-
ing a second key.
Try this: hold the
ami
key while also depressing thellkey. Then re-
lease both keys. Nothing obvious should have happened, but if you
touch any key now, the screen will show the character displayed in re-
verse type, rather than normal type-like the opening message or any-
thing you typed earlier.
Hold down the L'I:Hlli8:H:1 . What happens? If you did the above pro-
cedure correctly, you should see a light blue bar move across the screen
