Photosensitivity/Epilepsy/Seizures
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or
blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to
certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or when playing video
games may trigger epileptic seizures or blackouts in these individuals. These
conditions may trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in
persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your
family, has an epileptic condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your
physician before playing.
IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician before resuming
gameplay if you or your child experience any of the following health problems or
symptoms:
dizziness,
altered vision,
eye or muscle twitches,
loss of awareness,
disorientation,
seizures, or
any involuntary movement or convulsion.
RESUME GAMEPLAY ONLY ON APPROVAL OF YOUR PHYSICIAN.
Use and handling of video games to reduce the likelihood of a
seizure
Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from the television
screen.
Avoid large screen televisions. Use the smallest television screen available.
Avoid prolonged use of the PS3™ system. Take a 15-minute break during each
hour of play.
Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.
Radio waves may affect electronic equipment or medical devices (for example,
pacemakers), which may cause malfunctions and possible injuries.
If you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your physician or the
manufacturer of your medical device before using the wireless networking
feature (Bluetooth® and wireless LAN).
Do not use the wireless networking feature in the following locations:
– Areas where wireless network use is prohibited, such as in hospitals. Abide
by medical institution regulations when using the system on their premises.
– Areas near fire alarms, automatic doors and other types of automated
equipment.
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.
SCE recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D video, or
playing stereoscopic 3D games. 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
physician.
The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under
development. Consult with a physician (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor)
before allowing a young child to watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D
games. When using any 3D enabled device with your PlayStation®3 system you
should read the instruction manual for that device.

Notes on safety when using the DUALSHOCK®3
Wireless Controller*
Stop using the system immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience
discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the DUALSHOCK®3
wireless controller. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
The vibration function of the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller can aggravate
injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the
bones, joints or muscles of your hands or arms. If you have an ailment or an
injury, do not play such titles using the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller
unless you have set the vibration function to [Off].
Avoid prolonged use of the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller. Take a break at
about 30-minute intervals.
Note that some software titles set the vibration function to "On" by default. To
disable the vibration function, press the PS button of the controller, and then
select [Controller Settings]
[Vibration Function]
[Off].
When using the motion sensor function of the wireless controller, be cautious of
the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, this may cause an
accident, injury or damage.
– Before use, check that there is plenty of space around you.
– When using the controller, grip it firmly and make sure it cannot slip out of
your hand.
– If using a controller that is connected to the PS3™ system with a USB cable,
make sure that the cable will not hit a person or object. Also take care to
avoid pulling out the cable from the PS3™ system.
* These notes also apply to other controllers.

resolutions of 576p or lower if recorded at 1080i (50 Hz) or 720p (50 Hz).
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 Control System) may need to be
renewed. To renew the encryption key, the system must be updated.
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.
