Important Famicom Disk Card Information
• Famicom Disk Cards are vintage rewritable magnetic media.
• The game recorded on a Disk Card may differ from its printed label.
• Reading performance may vary depending on the age and condition of each Disk Card.
• Deterioration, mold, magnetic damage, physical damage, or rewriting history may affect loading.
• Save data and future reading performance cannot be guaranteed.
•
Failure to read one particular Disk Card does not necessarily mean that the console is defective.
Microphone Information
• The built-in microphone responded during our basic operation test.
• Static, intermittent noise, or unstable response may occur depending on the microphone volume-slider position.
• This is a common age-related characteristic of vintage Twin Famicom consoles.
• Long-term microphone performance cannot be guaranteed.
Power Supply
• The Twin Famicom was originally designed for Japanese 100V power outlets.
• An AC adapter is included with this set.
• Please check the voltage label on the actual adapter shown in the listing photos before use.
• A step-down transformer is required outside Japan only when using a Japanese 100V-only adapter.
• Using an adapter with incorrect voltage, polarity, amperage, or plug size may damage the console.
