GETTING STARTED
Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions in the Instruction Manual. Make sure the MAIN POWER switch (located on the back of the console) is turned on.
Press the RESET Button. When the power indicator lights up, press the OPEN Button and the disc tray will open. Place the Smashcourt Tennis™ Pro Tournament disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Press the OPEN Button again and the disc tray will close.

MEMORY CARDS
To save the game settings and progress, insert a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2. You can load saved game data from the same card, or from any Memory Card containing previously saved games.
At least 72 KB of free space must be available on the Memory Card in order to save game data. If there is less than 72 KB of free space, delete old data before saving.
Do not remove the Memory Card or turn off the power on the PlayStation®2 while data is being saved or loaded. Your game data may be lost if you do.
