Sega CD - Operating the Sega CD

OPERATING THE SEGA CD
With your Sega CD connected, you can start up the system. First, please review this checklist:
Startup Checklist
1. Are the Sega CD and the Genesis console connected correctly to each other?
2. Is the Genesis connected correctly to the TV or monitor?
3. Are any additional stereo-sound components connected correctly to the system?
4. Are both the Sega CD and the Genesis connected to power by their correct AC adapters?
5. Is control pad 1 plugged into the Genesis console?
6. Is the Genesis cartridge slot empty? (If a cartridge is inserted in the slot at startup, the Genesis system will default to cartridge play.)
