Notices

•Use only circular-shaped discs with the system. Do not use irregularly-shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped discs). Using irregularly-shaped discs may cause a malfunction.

•Do not use damaged, re-shaped or repaired discs. Use of such discs may cause a malfunction.

•When using an 8 cm disc, insert the disc in the system without an adaptor.

•The audio CD playback feature of this system is designed to conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, some record companies have started marketing music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies. Some of these music discs do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable on this system.

•A DualDisc is a dual-sided disc that combines a DVD side and an audio side. Note that the audio side is not guaranteed to play because this type of disc does not conform to the specifications required for an audio Compact Disc (CD).

•If a device that is not compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) standard is connected to the system using an HDMI cable, video or audio cannot be output from the system.

•When you use the AV MULTI OUT connector of the system to connect to a TV, copyright-protected video from a BD or from video files may be output at resolutions lower than 1080p. Also, these types of video will be output at resolutions of 576p or lower if recorded at 1080i (50 Hz) or 720p (50 Hz).

•When playing discs with content that was copied fraudulently, abnormal sounds may be produced or the content may not play correctly.

•To continuously enjoy playback of copyright-protected BDs, in some cases the encryption key for AACS (Advanced Access Control System) may need to be renewed. To renew the encryption key, the system must be updated.

•Some discs may not be playable due to scratches, dust, the quality of recording, or the characteristics of the recording device.

•In rare instances, CDs, DVDs, BDs and other media may not operate properly when played on the PS3™ system. This is primarily due to variations in the manufacturing process or encoding of the software.

Region codes
