STARTING UP
Set up your Sega Saturn system as described in its instruction manual. Plug in Control Pad 1. For multiple-player games, plug in Control Pad 2. Place the World Series™ Baseball disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid.
Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn. The Sega Saturn logo appears on screen. If nothing appears, turn the system off and make sure it is set up correctly before turning it on again. If you wish to stop a game in progress or the game ends and you want to restart it, press the Reset Button on the Sega Saturn console to display the on-screen Control Panel. Important: Your Sega Saturn CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center of the disc and wiping straight out toward the edge. CONTROLS
