protect the network adaptor connectors as well as those
within the console's expansion bay.
Do not expose the console to cigarette
smoke or dust
When setting up the PlayStation
®
2 console, avoid places
subject to excessive cigarette smoke or dust. Cigarette
smoke residue or dust build-up on internal components

Disc handling
• Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct
sunlight, or in high humidity.
• Store discs in their cases when they are not being used.
Stacking discs or standing them at an angle without
putting them in their cases can cause the discs to warp.
• Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc;
hold it by the edges.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc.
• Do not write on the disc with a marker, etc.
• Fingerprints or dust on the disc can distort the picture
or reduce sound quality. Make sure discs are always
clean before use.
• Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially
available cleaners not intended for CDs or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs as these may damage your
disc.
Moisture condensation

location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the
lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur,
the console may not operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and do not put the disc back in until the
moisture evaporates. (This could take several hours.) If
the console still does not operate properly, call
1-800-345-7669 for technical assistance.
