Read carefully before operating your PlayStation®2

A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching TV or playing video games, including DVD videos or games played on the PlayStation®2 console. Players who have not had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition. Consult your physician before operating the PlayStation®2 console if you have an epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms while watching TV programs or playing video games: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, and/ or convulsions.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product.

This label is located on the protective housing of the CD/ DVD unit inside the enclosure.

Precautions

Do not expose the console to cigarette smoke or dust

When setting up the console, avoid places subject to excessive cigarette smoke or dust. Cigarette smoke residue or dust build-up on internal components such as the lens, may cause the console to malfunction.

Disc handling

•Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight, or in high humidity.

•Store discs in their cases when they are not being used. Stacking discs or standing them at an angle without putting them in their cases can cause the discs to warp.

•Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.

•Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc.

•Do not write on the disc with a marker, etc.

•Fingerprints or dust on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Make sure discs are always clean before use.

•Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the centre outwards.

•Do not use solvents such as benzene, commercially available cleaners not intended for CD use or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs since these can damage the disc.

Do not place the console in an unusually hot location

Do not leave the console in a car with its windows closed (particularly in summer) as this may warp the exterior of the console or cause the console to malfunction.

Moisture condensation

If the console or the disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates. (This could take several hours.) If the console still does not operate properly, please contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found:

-on the customer registration card;

-within every PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 format software manual.

Do not subject the console to violent physical shock

Do not throw or drop the console or its accessories, and do not knock the console or its accessories against other objects. When carrying the console, do not subject it to any type of violent physical shock. This may damage the disc or cause the console to malfunction.

Avoid damaging the exterior of the console

Do not apply any solvents, and do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the surface of the console for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the plastic surface or cause the paint to peel off.

Cleaning the exterior of the console

When cleaning the exterior of the console, be sure to turn the power off with the MAIN POWER switch on the back of the console and disconnect the AC power plug from the electrical socket.

•If the exterior of the console becomes dirty, soak a soft cloth in a mild detergent solution diluted with water, tightly squeeze the cloth to remove the excess liquid, wipe the affected area of the exterior and finish by wiping with a dry cloth.

•Do not use benzene or paint thinner to clean the exterior of the console since these may damage the surface or cause the paint to peel off. When using a chemically-treated dust cloth, follow the usage instructions supplied with it.

•Dust can accumulate in both the front and rear vents of the console. Check the vents from time to time and remove any accumulated dust with a handheld or low powered vacuum cleaner.

Never disassemble the console

•Use your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions in this manual. No authorisation for the analysis or modification of the PlayStation®2 console, nor the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is given.

•There are no user-serviceable components inside the PlayStation®2 console. Disassembling it will void the guarantee. Additionally, there is a risk of exposure to (laser) radiation as well as to electrical shock hazards.

Notes on safety when using the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) and Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®)

•Stop using the console immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience an unpleasant sensation or pain in your hands and/or arms while operating the controller. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

•Do not attempt to operate the controller in any way except with your hands. Do not bring the controller into close contact with your head, face or near the bones of any other part of your body.

•The vibration function of the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) or the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®) can aggravate injuries.

Do not use the vibration function of the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) and Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®) supported by software if you have any ailment in the bones or joints of your hands or arms.

•Do not use the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) or the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®) with software that supports the vibration function if you have injuries or ailments to the bones or muscles of your fingers , hands, wrists or arms. The vibration of the controller may aggravate such conditions.

•Avoid prolonged use of the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) and Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®). Take a break at about 30 minute intervals.

Projection TVs are more susceptible to this than other types of displays. Do not operate the console in such a manner that this could occur.

Note about bouncing effect

Some TVs or monitors may experience a bouncing effect in their pictures when using the PlayStation®2 console. There is nothing wrong with the PlayStation®2 console or the way it is manufactured. The problem technically lies within the television. If you encounter such a problem with your television/monitor, please contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found:

-on the customer registration card;

-within every PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 format software manual.

Connecting to a VCR
