Before using this product

US

The internal hard disk drive (for PlayStation®2) (also referred to as “HDD” throughout this manual) contains pre-installed HDD software (HDD compatible browser, additional system configuration settings and CD Player software).

HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10) can be used to maintain the HDD or to re-install the HDD software if necessary.

Before using HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10), carefully read the “Precautions” section in this manual, the hardware installation guide for the internal hard disk drive (40GB) (for PlayStation®2) and the instruction manual for the network adaptor (for PlayStation®2) (sold separately). Also read the “Important safeguards” section in the instruction manual for the network adaptor (for PlayStation®2). Please pay special attention to the disc handling instructions and be sure to keep HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10) in a safe place where it will not be lost. If you lose HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10), you will not be able to use the Diagnose and Repair HDD utility. You will also not be able to re-install the HDD software.

HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10) is only compatible with the internal hard disk drive (for PlayStation®2). Note that you cannot use this disc with other hard disk drives.

Formatting the HDD will erase all data and software stored on the HDD.

The Diagnose and Repair HDD utility may not be able to fix all errors on the HDD. In such cases, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual and follow the instructions given there.

Data deleted by the Diagnose and Repair HDD utility cannot be recovered.

When saving or loading to the HDD (while the HDD access indicator is blinking):

do not subject the HDD to physical shock or vibration

do not open the disc tray

do not press the 1 (standby)/RESET button

do not turn off the console using the MAIN POWER switch

do not remove the power plug for the console from the electrical outlet.

Doing so may cause software or data loss or corruption, or damage to the HDD.

To help protect against data loss or corruption, it is recommended that you back up game save data to a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) or a memory card.

If for any reason software or data loss or corruption occurs on the HDD, it is usually not possible to recover the software or data. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not be held liable for any damages or injury in the case of software or data loss or corruption.

Precautions

About HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10)

HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10) is compatible only with PlayStation®2 consoles that have thesymbol marked on the console rear.

HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10) is exclusively for use with the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.

Never use this disc on other hardware, as doing so may cause serious damage to the hardware, or result in health hazards to the eyes and ears.

When cleaning HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10)

Fingerprints or dust on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Always make sure that the disc is clean before use.

Clean the disc using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outwards.

Disc handling

Do not touch the disc surface when handling HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10); hold it by the edges.

Do not leave the disc near a heat source, in direct sunlight, or in high humidity.

Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc.

Do not write on the disc with a marker or other writing utensil.

Always place the disc in the disc tray with the label side facing up (data side down).

Do not use the disc if it is cracked or warped, or has been repaired with adhesives, as this may damage the console or cause a malfunction.

Store the disc in its case when not in use. Stacking discs or standing them at an angle without putting them in their cases can cause the discs to warp or get damaged.

Do not insert a finger or any other object through the disc hole. Personal injury or damage to the disc may result.

Never throw the disc as this may damage it.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not be held liable for any injury or damage resulting from the mishandling of discs.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially available cleaners not intended for CDs, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs, as these may damage your disc.

Health precautions

To help prevent health hazards, please observe the following.

Do not watch the TV screen continuously for long periods of time. Doing so may cause eye fatigue, and may reduce your eyesight. If you feel any discomfort or pain while viewing the TV screen, stop using the software at once and take a rest.

If the symptoms do not go away even after taking a break, consult your physician.

Static image warning

Static, non-moving images, such as DVD menus, configuration displays, or paused images may leave a permanent faint image on the TV screen if left on for extended periods of time. Projection TVs are more susceptible to this than other types of displays. Do not operate the PlayStation®2 console in such a manner that this could occur.
