Hints

•If your TV is not equipped with an HDMI input connector, use a video output cable of the correct type for your TV ( page 7) to connect it to the PS3™ system directly.

•If a device is connected to the PS3™ system via an HDMI cable, do not turn off the device while the PS3™ system is turned on (power indicator is lit green). Doing so may cause sound distortions or produce abnormal sounds.

Step 3: Connect the Ethernet cable

Using an Ethernet cable, you can connect the system to the Internet. For details on network settings, see "Adjusting network settings"

( page 22).

Caution

The system supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T networks. Do not connect a standard telephone line or other types of cords or cables that are not compatible with the system directly to the LAN connector on the system, as this may cause heat build-up, fi re or malfunction.
