EN Precautions

On safety

•As the laser beam emitted from the lens of this unit may be harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer for technical assistance. Call 1-800-345-SONY.

•Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the unit, unplug it and call 1-800-345-SONY.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet whenever it is not in use. When disconnecting the power cord from a wall outlet, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord by itself.

For your health

To prevent eye strain.

•Be sure to take a break about 15 minutes after each hour of play.

•Do not play a game when you are very tired or short of sleep.

•Play in a well-lit room and keep a safe distance from the TV screen.

On operation

•Operate the unit only on 120V AC, 60 Hz.

•Do not block the air vents or wrap up the unit since heat may build up internally.

•Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock and do not put any heavy objects on top of the unit. The unit and the disc may be damaged.

•Do not leave your “PlayStation” near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight (operating temperature: 41˚F-95˚F(5˚C-35˚C)), excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, on an uneven surface, or in a car with its windows closed.

•If the unit causes interference to radio or television reception, turn off the unit or move it away from the radio or television.

•Do not touch the lens inside the disc cover. To protect the lens from dust, keep the disc cover closed except when placing and removing discs. If the lens is not clean, the unit may not operate properly.

•The unit should not be disconnected from the AC Power Cord as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

•Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. does not warrant damages caused by the use of products unlicensed by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

About the discs

You can use two kinds of discs with this unit: a CD-ROM disc with both the “PlayStation” logo and designation, and audio CD discs.

On handling discs

•Do not leave the discs near heat sources or expose them to direct sunlight or excessive moisture.

•Store the discs in their cases when not using them.

•Do not touch the surface when handling the discs.

•Do not stick paper or tape on the discs.

•Do not write on the discs with a marker.

On moisture condensation

If the unit is taken directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc for several hours until the moisture evaporates. If the unit still does not operate properly, please call 1-800-345-SONY for technical assistance.

Do not connect your “PlayStation” to a projection TV

Do not connect your “PlayStation” to a projection TV without first consulting the user manual for your projection TV, unless it is of the LCD type. Otherwise, it may permanently damage your TV screen.

Never analyze or modify your “PlayStation“

To use your “PlayStation“, follow the instruction in this manual. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. expressly prohibits the analysis or modification of the “Play Station“, and also prohibits the analysis, use of its circuit configurations without express written permission of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., to the extent allowed by applicable law.

Older model TVs

The “PlayStation” game console may not be compatible with some older model televisions and/or monitors. There is nothing wrong with your “PlayStation” or the way in which it was manufac- tured. The problem technically lies within the TV model. Contact Customer Services at 1-800-345 SONY for clarification and assistance.
