With the cabinet powered off, hold Player 1 Start while turning the cabinet on. Release Player 1 Start when the on-screen prompt tells you to continue. The settings menu video above shows the available options and controls.

How are Discs of Tron high scores organized?

The kit permanently stores the Top 10 supported scores and maintains separate supported high score tables for two-, three-, four-, and five-life settings. Initial entry can be configured for either two or three initials.
