Cleaning the exterior of the console
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
center outwards.
• 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.
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.
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 paint thinner, solvents or other chemicals, as
these may damage the console. When using a
commercially available cleaning cloth, follow the
instructions supplied with the cloth.
Never disassemble the console
• Use your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system according to the instructions in this manual. No
authorization for the analysis or modification of the
PlayStation
circuit configurations, is provided herein.
• There are no user-serviceable components inside the

Note on playback operations of DVD video
This console plays back 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
software. Please refer to the instructions
supplied with your DVD video for details.
Specially shaped discs
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for
example, heart- or star-shaped CDs) as they
may cause the console to malfunction.
For your protection, please read these safety instructions
completely before operating the PlayStation®2 console, and
keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions
on the console, or those described in the instruction manual
and adhere to them.
USE
Power Sources
This console should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company. For those units designed to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
The console is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit
into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Cleaning
Refer to the precautions section of this manual (page 2) for a
complete description of a safe method for cleaning the console
exterior.
INSTALLATION
Water and Moisture
Do not use the powerline operated console near water – for
example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord
exits from the console.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the console exterior are provided for
necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the console,
and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must
never be blocked or covered.
– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other
materials.
– Never block the slots and openings by placing the console on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
Liquid and Foreign Objects
Never push objects of any kind, other than authorized items, into
the console openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electrical shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the console.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer,
as they may cause hazards.
Accessories
Do not place the console on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or
table. The console may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an
adult and serious damage to the console.
Use only the vertical or horizontal stand or other accessories
recommended by the manufacturer to stabilize the console.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
5
– Never place the console in a confined space, such as a bookcase,
or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
– Do not place the console near or over a radiator or heat register,
or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
ANTENNAS
Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outdoor antenna or
cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

Lightning
For added protection for this console during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the console due to lightning
and power-line surges.

– If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the console.
– If the console has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the unit has been subject to excessive physical shock by being
dropped, or the console exterior has been damaged.
– If the console does not operate normally when following the
instruction manual. Adjust only those controls that are specified
in the instruction manual. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the console to normal
operation.
– When the console exhibits a distinct change in performance –
this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the console yourself, as removing the
console exterior may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards.
Refer all servicing to an authorized service center. Call 1-800-3457669 to receive instructions on obtaining repair/replacement
services.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original
parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the console, ask the
service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified
by the manufacturer) to determine that the unit is in safe
operating condition.
