during
this
procedure
the

An
example
of
a
picture
variation
is
that
one
or
more
numeral
positions
in
a
score
display
may
be
entirely
blank,
or
some
random,
unattainable
score
may
be
showing.
Variations
in
the
brick
pattern
can
range
from
no
bricks
at
all
to
a
full
set.
Variations
in
ball
motion
can
include
a case
where
the
ball
passes
through
the
entire
brick
wall
without
any
interaction
with
individual
bricks,
and
a
case
where
the
ball
is
"frapped"
in
the
region
behind
the
brick
wall.
These
kinds
of
picture
variations
do
not
mean
that
the
game
is
operating
incorrectly.
A
more
normal
attract
mode
picture
will
appear
on
the
screen
after
the
conclusion
of
at least
one
subsequent
play
sequence
in
play
mode.
During
the
attract
mode
all
player
controls
should
be
disabled
and
all
the
backlighted
push
but-
tons
should
be
dark.
(At
the
very
beginning
of
attract
just
after
a
play
sequence
has
ended,
serve
push
buttons
·
will
light
up
momentarily
but
within
four
seconds
will
go
dark
and
remain
dark
when
the
game
has
automatically
served
itself
a
ball.)
4.4.2 CHECK
OF
PLAY
MODE:
After
correct
game
operation
in
the
attract
mode
has
been
verified,
de-
posit
a
coin
in
one
of
the
coin
mechanisms.
As
soon
as
the
coin
has
been
accepted,
the
game
should
re-
spond
as
follows:
If
