3DO is a video gaming hardware format developed by The 3DO Company and conceived by entrepreneur and Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins. The specifications were originally designed by Dave Needle and RJ Mical of New Technology Group, and were licensed by third parties; most hardware were packaged as home video game consoles under the name Interactive Multiplayer, and Panasonic produced the first models in 1993 with further renditions released afterwards by manufacturers GoldStar, Sanyo, Creative Labs, and Samsung Electronics.
00:00Presenting the Panasonic Reel 3DO Interactive Multiplayer.
00:28Here it is, the experience to be experienced, the Panasonic Reel 3DO Interactive Multiplayer.
00:46It's all here to see.
00:48Interactive movies, lifelike sports and flight simulations, realistic games, educational titles, children's storybooks, and much more.
00:57And they're all available with up to 50 times the performance of other systems.
01:02The Reel 3DO Multiplayer is the focus of a phenomenal revolution in home entertainment and communication.
01:09Let's introduce this a piece at a time.
01:12First, you'll notice that you can spin the multiplayer around by pushing the Shift key on top of the 3DO control pad and then pressing the directional button.
01:22Once the spinning stops, check out that side of the system.
01:26Callouts will tell you what you can look at.
01:29Let's look at the 3DO control pad.
01:32I'll spin the multiplayer to the top.
01:35Notice we could select the CDs, but instead, I'll pick the control pad.
01:40I point to it and press A.
01:44When you do it, I'll tell you about the 3DO control pad.
01:48When you hear this sound, I've said all I'm going to.
01:52Press the B button and I'll repeat what I've said.
01:55Press the C button when you're done.
01:57If you want to leave this section, just press the C button until you're back at the main menu.
02:03Now, I'll stop and you can try it.
02:06Go ahead.
02:07First, hold down the Shift key and then press the directional pad.
02:12The real 3DO system can pump out true CD quality stereo sound with digital signal processing.
02:35To hook the system up to a home stereo, just connect the red and white audio outs
02:40to the corresponding ends of your stereo.
02:42It's just like hooking up any other CD player.
02:45For additional information, read the manual.
02:56We've designed the real 3DO system to be compatible with virtually any television.
03:01There are jacks for RF, composite or S-video signals.
03:05If your television doesn't have audio or video jacks,
03:08use the provided RF cable.
03:11If your television supports S-video,
03:13connecting a separately sold S-video cable will give you a sharper picture.
03:17Press B to repeat.
03:23This is the expansion slot.
03:26Watch this space for new and exciting developments.
03:29This is the 3DO control pad port.
03:47This is how the control pad is connected to the system.
03:50The 3DO control pad is the key to the real world.
03:54Except...
04:00This is the CD access indicator.
04:03Whenever this light is on, the system is getting information from its double-speed CD-ROM disk drive.
04:09Press B to repeat.
04:21The real 3DO system was built for the future.
04:24Soon, you'll be able to do great things with this slot.
04:27For example, with an add-on peripheral, the real 3DO system will be able to play next-generation video CDs.
04:34Press B to repeat.
04:36Photo CDs can be made from any set of negatives.
04:48Talk to a specialty Photoshop to find out how to put photos of your friends and family on CD.
04:54When a photo CD is inserted into the real 3DO system, the first photograph will be displayed.
05:00Use the A button to flip through the photos on the CD.
05:04Press Shift and A to go back to an image you've already seen.
05:08Images can be manipulated in several ways.
05:11They can be zoomed.
05:12Press B to select how far to zoom, and then Shift B to move in.
05:17They can be painted.
05:24Here's the 3DO control pad.
05:26It's got ten parts.
05:27Let me tell you about them.
05:28First, there are the three buttons, A, B, and C.
05:32Then there's the directional button, which can move up, down, left, right, and diagonally.
05:38Here are the stop and pause play buttons.
05:41Up on the top are two shift keys.
05:43These are usually used with A, B, and C, or the directional button.
05:47Finally, on the bottom, there's the earphone jack and the volume.
05:51Oh, one more thing.
05:52Some 3DO applications allow simultaneous use by up to four people.
05:57If you have an additional 3DO control pad, connect the first to the multiplayer, and the second to the first, using the jack on top of the controller.
06:05Press B to repeat.
06:12then there's a lock in place.
06:13One more thing.
06:14Hold on information.
06:16Just do the incredulous.
06:18After a two-hour time, I'll show up in a series.
06:21Right?
06:22Now people press B to change, because the germs will be seasoned.
06:25Just hover over a animal.
06:275 minutes.
06:28Can you choose the wrong time?
06:29Once you do it, please open and Zeit.
06:31Never take a tool out of the Understandable Redожет.
