This product has been designed with the highest concern for safety. However, any

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.
 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.

 For more information on product safety and support, visit our website (  back

 Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from the television 

screen.

 Avoid prolonged use of the PS™ system and wireless controller.
 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 with your physician.
− Dizziness, nausea, fatigue or symptoms similar to motion sickness
− Discomfort or pain in a part of the body, such as eyes, ears, hands or arms

 Keep the system and accessories, including cable ties and fasteners, out of the 

reach of small children.

 Do not connect cables other than a USB cable while the system is turned on 

(power indicator is lit solid green).

 Any TV or component connected to the system must be functioning properly 

and free of defects. If a TV or component connected to the system is faulty or 
defective, it may cause damage to the TV or component, or to the system itself. 
As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective components, or 
the failure to connect to a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking and pose 
a fire hazard.

 Do not touch the system or connected cables or accessories during an 

electrical storm.

 Do not use the system or accessories near water.
 Do not allow liquid, small particles or other foreign objects to get into the 

system or accessories.

 Do not touch the connectors of the system or accessories.
 Do not expose the system or accessories to dust, smoke or steam. Also, do not 

place the system in an area subject to excessive dust or cigarette smoke. Dust 
build-up or cigarette smoke residue on the internal components (such as the 
lens) may cause the system to malfunction.

 Do not expose the system or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity 

or direct sunlight.

 Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or 

subject to vibration.

 Do not set the system other than in the vertical or horizontal position. When 

setting the system in the vertical position, use the vertical stand (sold 
separately) for this model of the system. Also, do not change the position of the 
system while it is turned on.

 Be careful when carrying the system. If you do not have a good grip, the 

system may drop causing potential damage or injury.

 Do not move or change the position of the system with a disc inserted. The 

vibration may result in scratching of the disc or the system.

 Do not turn off the system while data is being saved on or loaded from the hard 

disk.

other devices.
