US 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 if you do not intend to use it for any length of time. When disconnecting the power cord from a wall outlet, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

For your health

To prevent eye strain:

•Be sure to take a break of about 15 minutes during every 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.

•Do not handle the unit roughly, subject it to any mechanical shock, or place any heavy objects on top of it. Doing so may damage the unit and the disc.

•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 inserting and removing discs. If the lens is not clean, the unit may not operate properly.

•Even if the unit is turned off, do not disconnect the AC power cord from the unit while the other end of the cord is connected to the wall outlet.

•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: CD-ROM discs with both the “PlayStation” logo

and designation, and audio CD discs.

•Some discs sold in foreign countries cannot be used with this unit.

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. If this happens, 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

Unless your projection TV is an LCD type, do not connect your “PlayStation” to it without first referring to the user manual for the TV. Failure to do so may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.

Never analyze or modify your “PlayStation“

To use your “PlayStation” always follow the instructions provided in this manual. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. expressly prohibits the analysis or modification of the “PlayStation”, and also prohibits the analysis or use of its circuit configurations without the express written permission of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., to the extent allowable by 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.
