Notice
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.
Hint
The system can be set in a horizontal or vertical position.
Set as shown in the diagram at right when setting in the
vertical position.
Caution
• Do not use the system in a closed cabinet or other locations where heat
may build up. Doing so may cause the system to overheat and may lead to
fire, injury or malfunction.
• If the system’s internal temperature becomes elevated, the power indicator
will flash alternately in red and green. In this case, turn off the system (
page 16) and leave it unused for a while. After the system cools down,
move it to a location with good ventilation, and then resume use.

Step 2: Connect digital audio devices
You can connect audio devices that support digital audio output,
such as an AV receiver for home entertainment use.
Hint
When connecting a digital audio device to the system, go to (Settings)
(Sound Settings) "Audio Output Settings", and then adjust the settings as
necessary for the audio device.

Hint
Normally, audio cannot be output simultaneously from multiple output
connectors. For example, if your PS3™ system is connected to a TV via an
HDMI cable and to an audio device via an optical digital cable and "Digital Out
(Optical)" is set under "Audio Output Settings", audio will no longer be output
from the TV and will only be output from the audio device.

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 system is turned on (power indicator is lit solid
green). Doing so may cause sound distortions or produce abnormal sounds.
Step 3: Connect an Ethernet cable
Using a commercially available Ethernet cable, you can connect the
system to the Internet. For details on network settings, see "Adjusting
network settings" ( page 24).
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, fire or malfunction.
