Note:
     In case any button switch on the control panel is set to start the game
     when pressed (DIP SW 1-6 OFF), the game starts or continues by pressing
     the start buttons and/or the fire buttons.

     In case separate coin chutes are used by the respective players, coin
     mode 2 does not work. In order to actuate the service switch button in
     this condition, press it while holding down the firing button for the
     particular player.

     When the common coin chutes are "Shared" by all players and the
     start buttons are attached for the respective players, turn ON DIP SW 1-6
     not for any button switch to start the game when pressed.

     When "separate" coin chutes are installed for the respective players,
     they can stock their credit respectively by inserting coins. When
     common coin chutes are "shared" by all the players, the players who have
     pressed their start buttons gain the credit to use from the common credit
     pool.
