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, fi re or malfunction.
