    verify monitor performance or make adjustments.

    Color Bars
     fills the screen with colored stripes. Use the color bars to help you to check or adjust monitor
    brightness and contrast. The color bars also expose defects in horizontal linearity. Each color bar consists
    of 32 intensity levels. On a properly adjusted monitor, the top 31 of these levels are visible. Each bar
    should appear sharp, clear and distinct from bars on either side. Incorrect adjustment can cause missing
    detail at the top or bottom of a bar. Bent bars indicate horizontal linearity flaws, such as pie crust,
    pincushion or barrel distortion. (Correct color bar colors, left to right: Red, Green, Blue, Black, White,
    Cyan, Yellow, Violet.)  Set controls as follows: 1. Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST to minimum. 2.
    Turn up BRIGHTNESS until the pixels in the black stripe begin to glow (turn dark gray). 3. Bring up the
    CONTRAST control until you can see 31 bars.
    Crosshatch Patterns
     fill the screen with a grid and a series of dots. Crosshatch Patterns help you to
    check or adjust several monitor parameters: These include convergence, linearity, active viewing area
    and dynamic focus. The grid and the dots should be all white in color, with no fringes or parallel images.
    The lines should be straight and the dots round. For more detail on these adjustments, consult service
    literature from the monitor manufacturer.
    Color Screen
     tests fill the screen with 100% of the chosen color at normal intensity. The Color Screen
    tests help you to check or adjust monitor intensity, black level, blanking and color purity. Each screen
    should be absolutely uniform from top to bottom and side to side. No retrace lines or noise should be
    visible. Color Screens may not hold their uniformity if the monitor degaussing circuit is defective.
    White, Gray and Black Screens
     fill the screen with black, gray or white at various intensities. These
    monochrome screens help you to check or adjust monitor convergence, purity, contrast and intensity.
    These screens also simplify black level and color gun control settings. The screens should be uniform
    with no color tints or distortion. No retrace lines or noise should be visible.
    If tests indicate a need for adjustment, use controls on the Monitor Remote Adjustment Board.

    Disk Information. 
    The Disk Information routine verifies the interface between the CPU Board Assembly
    and hard disk drive. The processor requests disk information. Data cannot be retrieved successfully if
    there is a problem.
    Sequential Read. 
    This routine tries to access every bit of data in the order it is stored directly on the disk.
    The hard disk drive media may be defective if this routine cannot be completed successfully.
    Sequential Cache Read. 
    This routine tries to access every bit of data in the order it is stored in the
    temporary disk memory cache. If this test is not successful, the memory circuits may be faulty.
    Random Read. 
    This routine tries to access every bit of data in no particular order directly from the disk.
    This test may detect problems with ability to position the drive heads accurately over the requested data.
    Random Cache Read. 
    This routine tries to access every bit of data in no particular order from the
    temporary disk memory cache. If the cache fails this test, memory circuits may contain a fault.
    Data Integrity Test. 
    This test analyzes the data on the disk drive. The test determines if corrupted data is
    on the disk. Bad data can cause the program to falter even though the hard disk operates correctly.
    File System Check. 
    This routine performs a file-by-file check of the data stored on the hard disk.
    Surface Scan. 
    The magnetic material on the disk can become damaged, causing data to be unreadable.
    This routine locates unusable areas on the disk and marks them for future reference.

    Channel and Tone Tests. 
    The channel subtests employ voice announcements to verify speaker
    locations. Use the 100 Hz tone to check the speakers’ bass response. Small speakers with weak
    magnets or poor baffles may cause poor bass response.
    Play Tune
     repeats a series of game sounds. Use PLAY TUNE to check speaker operation and fidelity. If
    your game has stereo speakers, run PLAY TUNE and test speaker phasing. Muddy, weak or distorted
    sound during this test may indicate crossed wires or out-of-phase speaker connections. Missing sounds
    may indicate audio cabling errors.
    NOTICE:
     Check the volume setting before testing. To test the speakers thoroughly,
    increase the volume level. Before returning to Game-Over Mode, reset the volume
    level to its original setting.
