Precautions
US
Before use
Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:
• Place the system at least 10 cm (4 in) away from a wall surface.
• Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibers.
• Do not place in a narrow or cramped space.
• Do not cover with cloth.
• Do not allow dust to build up on the vents.
• To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC power cord. If damaged,
stop use immediately and call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 for
assistance.
• Do not use a power cord other than the supplied AC power cord. Do not modify
the cord.
• Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
• Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
expansion receptacles and the point where the cord exits from the system.
• Do not place heavy items on the cord.
• Do not place the AC power cord near heating equipment and do not expose the cord
to heat.
• Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning or moving the
system, or when you do not intend to use the system for an extended period of time.
When disconnecting, grasp the power cord by the plug and pull straight out of the
electrical outlet. Never pull by the cord and do not pull out at an angle.
• Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter. Connecting
the AC power cord to a voltage transformer for overseas travel or an inverter for
use in an automobile may cause heat to build up in the system and may cause burns
or a malfunction.
Use the PS3™ system and accessories according to the instructions in the product
documentation. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the system or
accessories, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided.
Unauthorized modification of the system or accessories will void your warranty.
There are no user serviceable components inside the PS3™ system (the supplied
hard disk may be removed but not disassembled or modified). Additionally, there is
a risk of exposure to laser radiation as well as to electrical shock.
• A broadband connection is required to access the Internet. Note that dial-up
connectivity is not supported.
• User is responsible for Internet service fees. For details, refer to the information
provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.
• Use only an Ethernet cable compatible with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
1000BASE-T networks. Do not use a cord for a standard residential telephone line
or cables of types other than those mentioned here. Using the wrong type of cord
or cable can cause more electrical current than necessary to flow through the LAN
connector, which may lead to heat build-up, fire or malfunction.
• When using the PS3™ system's scan function to select a wireless LAN access
point, access points that are not intended for public use may be displayed. Only
connect to an access point that you are authorized to use.

* Playback of BD-RE ver. 1.0 discs is not supported.
Notices
• Use only circular-shaped discs with the system. Do not use irregularly-shaped
discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped discs). Using irregularly-shaped discs
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not use damaged, re-shaped or repaired discs. Use of such discs may cause a
malfunction.
• When using an 8 cm disc, insert the disc in the system without an adaptor.
• The audio CD playback feature of this system is designed to conform to the
Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, some record companies have started
marketing music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies. Some of
these music discs do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable on
this system.
• A DualDisc is a dual-sided disc that combines a DVD side and an audio side. Note
that the audio side is not guaranteed to play because this type of disc does not
conform to the specifications required for an audio Compact Disc (CD).
• If a device that is not compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) standard is connected to the system using an HDMI cable, video or
audio cannot be output from the system.
• Copyright-protected Blu-ray video discs can only be output at 1080p using an
HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection) standard.
• When you use the AV MULTI OUT connector of the system to connect to a TV,
copyright-protected video from a BD or from video files may be output at
resolutions lower than 1080p (or may not be playable).
• Audio from Super Audio CDs cannot be output from the system's digital out
(optical) connector. Multi-channel content from Super Audio CDs can only be
output from the HDMI OUT connector.
• CD-DA (audio CD) is output at 48 kHz from the system.
• When playing discs with content that was copied fraudulently, abnormal sounds
may be produced or the content may not play correctly.
• To continuously enjoy playback of copyright-protected BDs, in some cases the
AACS (Advanced Access Control System) key may need to be renewed. To renew
the key, the system must be updated.
• Some discs may not be playable due to scratches, dust, the quality of recording, or
the characteristics of the recording device.
• In rare instances, CDs, DVDs, BDs and other media may not operate properly
when played on the PS3™ system. This is primarily due to variations in the
manufacturing process or encoding of the software.
Region codes
Depending on the disc, a region code that is based on the geographic region where
the disc is distributed may be assigned. This system can play discs marked with the
following region codes.
DVD and PLAYSTATION®3 format software
• When outputting DVD content or PLAYSTATION®3 format software in SD
resolution, only discs recorded in the NTSC standard can be played.
• When playing PLAYSTATION®3 format software in HD resolution, a TV that
supports video playback at 59.94 Hz is required.
