Troubleshooting
The controller does not function.
, If the software title is compatible only with the analog controller
(DUALSHOCK
®2), it will not work properly with the analog controller
(DUALSHOCK
®). Use a controller that is appropriate for the software title.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the software for details.
, Check that the controller is set to the appropriate mode for the software. Refer to
the instructions supplied with the software for details.
, Try using another controller that is compatible with the PlayStation
®2 console.
There may be a problem with the controller in use.
The console does not recognize the memory card. Data cannot be
saved or copied to the memory card.
, Check that the memory card is compatible with the software in use ( page 17).
, Check that the memory card is inserted securely ( page 18).
, Check that you are saving the data correctly. Refer to the instructions supplied
with the software for details.
, Data cannot be saved if there is not enough free space on the memory card.
, Try using another memory card. There may be a problem with the memory card
in use.
Data saved on a memory card is corrupted.
, While saving, loading, copying or deleting data, do not attempt any of the
following. Doing so may damage the data.
• Do not remove the memory card or the controller.
• Do not open the disc cover.
• Do not reset the console.
• Do not turn off the console.
, Corrupted data can be deleted in the Browser menu ( page 18).
The console does not function properly.
, Static electricity and other similar occurrences may affect the console's
operation. Turn off the console and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Then,
replug and turn on the console by pressing the @/1/RESET button.
The @/1 indicator flashes in red and the console does not work.
, Do not use the console until the flashing stops. Placing the console in an
extremely hot location or blocking the console's vents raises the internal
temperature of the console, thereby preventing proper operation.
The console makes noise or shakes.
, Because PlayStation
®2 format software titles load at a higher speed than
PlayStation
® format software titles, the noise or vibration may be greater.
The DVD does not play.
, Check that the DVD has the correct region code. Also check that the broadcast
signal of the disc is compatible with the console ( page 44).
, The Parental Control feature may be set on the disc. Follow the on-screen
instructions and temporarily raise the level of Parental Control ( page 31).
