3D images

Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, eye fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games on 3D televisions. If you experience such discomfort you should immediately discontinue use of your television until the discomfort subsides. Generally we recommend that you avoid prolonged use of your PlayStation3 system and take 15 minutes breaks during each hour of play. However, when playing stereoscopic 3D games or watching 3D video, the length and frequency of necessary breaks may vary from person to person - please take breaks that are long enough to allow any feelings of discomfort to subside. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development. Consult with your child's doctor or optometrist before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed above.

DVD and PlayStation3 format software When outputting DVD content or PlayStation3 format

software in SD resolution, only discs recorded in the PAL standard will definitely be playable. You may not be able to play discs recorded for other standards (such as NTSC) on this system (unless an NTSC compatible TV is used).

When playing PlayStation3 format software in HD resolution, a TV that supports video playback at 59.94 Hz is required.

DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW discs Discs that have not been finalised cannot be played.

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. 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 the PS3 system is connected to a TV using a component AV cable, analogue high-definition output is restricted to comply with the copyright protection technology used by Blu-ray (AACS). BD video software (BD-ROM) and BDs recorded with copyright-protected video content are output at interlaced standard definition (SD) resolution.

When you use the AV MULTI OUT connector of the system to connect to a TV, copyright-protected video files might be output at restricted resolutions or not output at all.

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 Content System) may need to be renewed. To renew the encryption key, the system must be updated.

Due to the copyright protection technology (AACS) used by Blu-ray, you must connect the system using an HDMI cable to output BD video software (BD-ROM) and BDs recorded with copyright-protected video content.

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.
