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, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Always handle carefully and make sure discs are 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 touch the console connectors

Do not touch the metal parts or insert foreign objects into the console connectors.

To help protect the expansion bus connector within the EXPANSION BAY, keep the EXPANSION BAY cover in place on the console rear when the bay is not in use.

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 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)*

•Stop using the console immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2). If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

•The Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) is intended for use with the hands only. Do not bring it into close contact with your head, face or the bones of any other part of the body.

•The vibration function of the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) can aggravate injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the bones, joints or muscles of your hands or arms. Note that some PlayStation®2 and PlayStation® format software titles set the vibration function to “On” by default. In most cases, the vibration function can be set to “Off” in the options menu of the software. Do not play such titles using the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®2) unless you have set the vibration function to “Off”.

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

*These notes also apply to the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK®).

If you attempt to play any other DVDs, a message stating “This disc cannot be played due to regional restrictions.” will appear on the screen.

•Some DVDs that have no region code markings may still be subject to area restrictions and may not be playable on the console.

Notes on the playback of DVD-R/DVD-RW/ DVD+R/DVD+RW discs*

•Some discs recorded using DVD-R/DVD- RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW devices may not be playable due to scratches, dirt, dust, fingerprints or problems encountered during recording, or due to the state of the disc when the recording was made. Only discs that have been finalized (a process that concludes recording) after recording are playable.

•Video recorded on CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) compatible DVD-RW discs using the copy-once capability, will not play that section of video, and the message “Playback is restricted. Cannot play.” will be displayed. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVD recording device. (CPRM is a copy protection system with scramble capability for recorded “copy-once” broadcast programs.)

* For details on each type of DVD media, refer to the Glossary on pages 28-29 of this instruction manual.

Irregularly-shaped discs

Do not use irregularly-shaped CDs or DVDs (for example, heartor star-shaped discs) as they may cause the console to malfunction.

Note on playback operations of DVDs

This console plays DVD video as originally designed by the software producers. Some of the playback features of this console may not have been incorporated into the DVD video design. As a result, some playback features may not be available with certain DVD videos. Please refer to the instructions supplied with your DVD video for details.

Glossary

Chapter (page 19)

Sections of a movie or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

Dolby Digital (page 24)

Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realised because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital.

DTS (page 24)

Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realised because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and processed in digital.

DVD video (page 3)

DVD video discs can contain up to 8 hours of moving pictures on a disc with the same diameter as a CD. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. Audio data is recorded in a multi-channel format allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. DVD video discs also can contain advanced functions such as multiple viewing angles, multilingual tracks and Parental Control playback restrictions.

DVD-RW (page 3)

DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO disc. DVD-RW discs have two modes: VR mode and Video mode.

•Video mode - complies with DVD-VIDEO format and is compatible with most DVD players once finalized, whereas a DVD-RW recorded in VR mode can only be played on DVD-RW compliant DVD players.

•VR (Video Recording) mode - enables various programming and editing functions, some of which are not available in Video mode.

DVD+RW (page 3)

DVD+RW (read “plus RW”) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RW discs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

MPEG AUDIO (page 24)

International standard coding system to compress audio digital signals authorised by ISO/IEO.

Multi-angle function (page 19)

Various angles for the scene (viewpoints of the video camera) are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function (page 19)

Several languages for the audio track or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control (pages 22-24)

A function of the DVD used to limit playback of the disc according to the age of the user and the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback can be completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes, and so on.

Progressive scan (NTSC) (page 22)

Compared to standard interlace mode that alternatively shows every other line of an image to create one frame, progressive scan shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while interlace mode can show 30 frames per second, progressive scan can show 60. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper.

Title (page 19)

The longest section of a movie or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.

Video material (NTSC) (page 22)

DVD material can be divided into two types: video based material and film based material. Video based material is recorded at 30 frames (60 fields) per second, and is normally used for TV programs and cartoons. Film based material is recorded at 24 video images per second, and is used for most movies. Some DVDs contain both video based and film based material.
