BATTERY INSTALLATION
Locate the battery compartment door on the bottom of the console.
Loosen the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the battery compart-
ment door. Insert four (4) AA batteries (we recommend alkaline) as indi-
cated inside the compartment. Replace the battery compartment door and
tighten the screw.
Please note: When storing, make sure the cord is not pressed on the
Power button to prevent reduced battery life.
ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN INSTALLING BATTERIES.
CONNECTING RADICA PLAY TV OPUS™ TO YOUR TV OR VCR
CONNECTING TO A TV
NOTE: To connect Play TV Opus™ 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
controls, or on the rear of the TV near the antenna and cable/satellite jacks.
If your TV does have audio and video input jacks, insert the yellow video
plug into the video-in (yellow) jack on your TV; the white audio plug into
the left audio-in (white) jack; and the red audio plug into the right audio-in
(red) jack. Then set the TV to the appropriate video input mode (see your
TV operating manual for details).
Please Note: If your TV is not stereo, you can either plug the white audio
plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug disconnected, or, if
you would like to hear sounds from both the left and right audio channels,
you can use a 2 into 1 audio cable (available at your local electronics store)
to connect both the white and red plugs to the single audio-in jack.
If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may connect
Opus through a VCR connected to your TV.
CONNECTING TO A VCR
To connect Play TV Opus™ to the VCR connected to your TV, insert the
yellow video plug into the video-in (yellow) jack on your VCR; the white
audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack; and the red audio plug into
the right audio-in (red) jack. Then set the TV and VCR to the appropriate
video input modes (see your VCR and TV operating manuals for details).
Please Note: If your VCR is not stereo, you can either plug the white audio
plug into the audio-in jack and leave the red audio plug disconnected, or, if
you would like to hear sounds from both the left and right audio channels,
you can use a 2 into 1 audio cable (available at your local electronics store)
to connect both the white and red plugs to the single audio-in jack.
