You can start PlayStation

2 format software installed on the HDD. To install

2 format software that is not

2 console instruction manual.

At the Browser screen, select the HDD icon, and then press the

The HDD screen will appear.

Select the icon for the PlayStation

The software starts up.

Notes

• Some software requires a disc for start up, even if it is installed on the HDD.
• The icons appear in the order in which they were installed.
• If there are too many icons to be displayed at one time, directional arrows appear on the HDD

screen. Use the up and down directional buttons to scroll through the screen.

• Depending on the number of icons, it may take some time for the screen to scroll.
• Once the HDD is installed, you may not be able to reset software by pressing the

(standby)/reset button on the console front. To help avoid losing game progress, try to

save before attempting to reset a game.
