If Transform/Kamen Rider BLACK does not respond to TV programs, please check the following:

1. Is it facing directly towards the TV as shown in the picture?
2. Is the TV screen bright enough?
3. Is the TV and this product too far apart? (Approximately 2m for a 19-inch TV)
4. Are you moving the game console when it is receiving a signal (such as a transformation scene) from the TV?
5. Are you pressing the interactive keys firmly?
6. Are the lights new?


Notes on playing interactive games

Don't damage your eyes by sitting too close to the TV.
Do not place bright lights around the TV. (Normal brightness, a little brighter will make it easier to react.)
Do not cover the interactive transmission/reception section with your hands or other objects. (If the transmission section is covered, it will not respond.)
It works on both color and white TVs. If the TV screen size is 19 inches, it will work up to about 2m away. (This depends on the brightness of the room, but the guideline is a distance of up to 7 times the height of the TV's cathode ray tube.)
When using two game consoles for interactive play, keep them about 1m apart. If they are too close or too far apart, the game may not respond well.
If the battery gets old, it may have problems receiving signals. Please replace it with a new battery.
