3 format software
When outputting DVD content or PlayStation
®
3 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 PlayStation
®
3 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 you use the AV MULTI OUT connector of the system to connect to a TV,
copyright-protected video from a BD or from video files may be output at
resolutions lower than 1080p. Also, these types of video will be output at
r
esolutions of 576p or lower if recor
ded 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.
