Re: Tech: Flash- Fixed a problem/created another. Please help!

There is a switch on the sound card that selects either musical style
notes or synthesized sounds. It's located on the upper left (as you
look at the board) right next to the volume adjust pot. Change the
position of the switch and that should switch you back to your good ol'
Flash sounds. If that doesn't work, make sure Function 33 (controls
background sound) is set to 01...00 is off, 01 is on.

>From the Game Over mode, set the Auto-Up/Manual-Down switch to Auto-up
and depress the advance button until 33 shows in the number of credits
display. Make sure 01 is indicated in the Player 1 display. If it is
00, then press the credit button once to set it to 01. If that's the
only adjustment you're making, turn the machine OFF then back ON to
return to game over mode. Hopefully this will get your Flash back to
it's regular sounds.
