Screens that appear after
start-up screen
When you turn on your “PlayStation”, one
of the following screens will appear.
1
A CD-ROM with both “PlayStation”
logo and
[PAL]
designation is inserted.
2
No disc is inserted.
3
A disc that cannot be played with the
“PlayStation” is inserted.
• If you turn on your “PlayStation” without first
inserting a disc, screen
C
2
appears. It gives you
access to the audio CD control screen and the
MEMORY CARD activity screen, described later
on in this manual. If you insert a CD-ROM disc of
the “PlayStation” format while screen
C
2
is on,
the game will start automatically.
• If the screen
C
3
appears, the inserted disc might
be of a different format. Check if it has both the
“PlayStation” logo and
[PAL]
designation on it. A
damaged or dirty disc would also produce this
screen.
See ”Troubleshooting“ on page 14.
Notes
• There is no need to turn off the “PlayStation” if
you want to change games. Just open the disc
cover and wait until the disc stops spinning, swap
the discs over, close the disc cover and then press
RESET button.
• When inserting a disc, push the disc gently but
firmly until it sits snugly on the central spindle.

WARNING
Before removing a disc, press the

may hurt yourself or damage the disc or your
“PlayStation”.
