Precautions
Safety
This product has been designed with the highest concern for safety. However, any electrical device, if used improperly, has the potential for causing fire, electrical shock or personal injury. To help ensure accident-free operation, follow these guidelines:
Observe all warnings, precautions and instructions.
Regularly inspect the AC power cord for damage and for dust build-up around the power plug or electrical outlet.
Stop use, unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any other cables immediately if the device functions in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds or smells or becomes too hot to touch.
Contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found within every PlayStation®3 software manual.
Use and handling
Use in a well-lit area and keep a safe distance from the TV screen.
Avoid prolonged use of the PS3™ system. Take a 15-minute break during each hour of play.
Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.
Stop using the system immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the Wireless Controller. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
If you experience any of the following health problems, discontinue use of the system immediately. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

Precautions
5
Precautions
When connecting the system to a plasma or projection* TV, do not leave a still image on the TV screen for an extended period of time, as this may leave a faint image permanently on the screen.
*Except LCD screen types
Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online activities to ensure safe and responsible Internet usage. Refer to http://www.ps-playsafeonline.com for further details.
Notes on safety when using the DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller*
Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the bones, joints or muscles of your hands or arms. If you have an ailment or an injury, do not play such titles using the DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller unless you have set the vibration function to [Off].
When using the motion sensor function of the Wireless Controller, be cautious of the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, this may cause accidental injury or damage.
–Before using the motion sensor function, make sure you have enough space to move around.
–Firmly grip the Wireless Controller to prevent it from slipping out of your grasp and causing damage or injury.
–When using the Wireless Controller with a USB cable, ensure that the cable cannot hit a person or any object, and do not pull the cable out of the PS3™ system whilst playing.
* These notes also apply to other controllers.
Vents
Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:
Place the system at least 10 cm away from a wall surface.
Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibres.
Do not place in a narrow or cramped space.
Do not cover with cloth.
Do not allow dust to build up on the vents.
AC power cord use
To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC power cord. If damaged, stop use immediately and contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found within every PlayStation®3 software manual.
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.
Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the AC IN connector. Before connecting or plugging in the AC power cord, check that there is no dust or foreign matter in or on the power plug or connecting end of the cord, the electrical outlet or the AC IN connector on the system rear. If the plug or connector becomes dirty, wipe off with a dry cloth before connecting.
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.
6
Never disassemble or modify the system or accessories
Use the PS3™ system and accessories according to the instructions in the product documentation. No authorisation for the analysis or modification of the system or accessories, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. Unauthorised 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.
Network
A broadband Internet connection is required to connect to a network.
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.
Wireless networking feature
The 2.4 GHz range of radio waves used by the wireless networking feature of this product is a range shared by various devices. This product has been designed to minimise the effect of other devices using the same range. However, in some cases interference from other devices may reduce the connection speed, shorten the signal range or cause the connection to be terminated unexpectedly.
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 authorised to use, or one that is available through a public wireless LAN or hotspot service.
Moisture condensation
If the system or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the lens inside the system or on the disc. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and turn off and unplug the system. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate properly, contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found within every PlayStation®3 software manual.
Cleaning
For safety reasons, before cleaning the system or connected accessories, disconnect the AC power cord from the electrical outlet.
Exterior surfaces (plastic cover of system and Wireless Controller)

Hints
When connecting a digital audio device to the system, go to 
(Settings) 
(Sound Settings) 
[Audio Output Settings], and then adjust the settings as necessary for the audio device.
For simultaneous audio output from multiple connectors, go to 
(Settings) 
(Sound Settings) 
[Audio Multi-Output], and set the option to [On].
The system can output both audio and video through an HDMI cable. If both the TV and the audio device have HDMI connectors, you can output the TV picture to the TV through a connected audio device.
If a device is connected to the PS3™ system via an HDMI cable, do not turn off the device while the system is turned on (power indicator is lit solid green), as doing so may cause sound distortion or produce abnormal sounds.
Examples when connecting an audio device
An HDMI cable or optical digital cable can be used to connect an audio device to the PS3™ system.
