(Review page 12 on Input Select information.) • The sound in some games doesn't begin until Start is pressed or the game begins. • If you have a mono TV or VCR and left one of the audio cables unconnected (see page 10) you may not get all game sounds. Use a "Y" Adapter to get both left and right sound channels. • If your TV or VCR has both mono and stereo options, make sure it is set to match your setup. • Check the instruction booklet for the game you are playing to see if there are volume controls or mono/stereo options that can be set from the game. • If you are using the Component Video cable, (see page 9) be sure you have a Stereo AV Cable connected for the audio connections. The Component Video cable can only be used on Nintendo GameCube Model No. DOL-001(USA). The Power Indicator Light on the console does not come on, or goes off during game play. • Make sure the AC Adapter is plugged into both the wall outlet and the back of the console. • If the light is still off, disconnect the AC Adapter plug from the wall outlet, wait 2 minutes and plug it back into the outlet. Turn the console power ON. • Remove all controllers and accessories from the Nintendo GameCube and repeat the above procedure. If the Power Indicator Light now comes on, there may be a problem with the controllers or accessories. See the back cover for service information. 22 5 • TROUBLESHOOTING Before seeking assistance review the following problems and solutions: PROBLEM Picture is rolling or has bars or lines.
