Tiger Virtual Tennis 66-007 - Manual (Page 2)

The game play will proceed like real tennis. After each game, you alternate
server. When the opponent serves, you should also press the SERVE/VOLLEY
button -- so that your opponent can serve the ball to you!
When you're returning shots, you don't have to wait for the ball to bounce -- you
can hit the ball "on the fly" (before it bounces) by pressing the SERVE/VOLLEY
button. However, this shot requires faster timing on your part -- so it is more
difficult to control!
If you don't swing the racquet with good timing, your shot will go out of bounds
or into the net and you will lose the point.
The score will be announced at the completion of each point -- and at the end of
each game. The score is also announced when you press either the LEVEL
SELECT or GAME SELECT buttons during the course of a game. (See CONTROL
PAD above for full description.)
When you turn on the unit, if you want to treat yourself to a DEMONSTRATION
before actually playing, press the LEVEL SELECT or GAME SELECT button
instead of the POWER SWITCH. After the demo is complete, you can then use
the LEVEL SELECT or GAME SELECT to play a real match! Or to exit the DEMO
early, press the SERVE button and the unit will exit the DEMO mode immediately
and then you can go right to LEVEL SELECT and GAME SELECT.
In the case of a TIEBREAKER (score of 6 games apiece in a six game match),
a 12 point tiebreaker is played. The service alternates, just like real tennis. The
first player to score 7 points wins the tiebreaker.
When a match is finished, you will hear a musical fanfare and the final score and
the winner will be announced. After a match, pressing either the GAME SELECT
or LEVEL SELECT button will repeat the final score.
Press the SERVE button, and "PLAY!" will be announced. Now choose your
game selection for the next match.
Shut off the unit with the OFF/ON switch. The unit also shuts off automatically
after 3 minutes to save on battery life.
5. SOME SPECIAL SHOTS FOR EXPERT PLAYERS:
-- RISING SHOT:
Right after you hear the bouncing sound, hit the ball immediately! If you play
level 3 or level 4, master this shot -- or else you can't win!
-- SERVE AND VOLLEY:
If you serve with the best possible timing, "rush the net" and punch volley your
opponent's return shot!
6. PRACTICE MODE:
At the beginning of play, rather than selecting any of the four skill levels, you can
choose to select the PRACTICE MODE.
Then use the GAME SELECT button to select either:
-- SERVICE
Press the SERVE button and release it to hear the tossing sound. Then serve!
-- FOREHAND
Press the SERVE button and release it. The computer will then hit the ball to
your forehand side. You can practice forehands and volleys.
-- BACKHAND
Press the SERVE button and release it. The computer will then hit the ball to
your backhand. You can practice backhands and volleys.
-- FOREHAND AND BACKHAND
Press the SERVE button and release it. The computer will hit to both your
forehand and backhand sides alternately. You can practice both shots and
volleys.
-- LOB
Press the SERVE button and release it. The computer will hit you lobs. Practice
your smash! But you can only practice lobs BEFORE you hear the ball bounce.
7. INSERTING THE BATTERIES
1. Loosen the battery screw at the side of the
racquet's end cap.

4. Replace the 3 "AA"/LR6 batteries, following
the battery orientation inside the compartment.
5. Insert the battery compartment back to the

6. Turn the racquet's end cap in clockwise

racquet.
7. Tighten the battery screw at the side of the
