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 PS3™ system is turned on (power indicator is lit
green). Doing so may cause sound distortions or produce abnormal sounds.
Step 3: Connect the Ethernet cable
Using an Ethernet cable, you can connect the system to the Internet.
For details on network settings, see "Adjusting network settings"

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
