select [Start Now] from the set-up completion screen.

Once you have set up an Internet connection, a system software update will 

be downloaded automatically - as will future system software updates.

Some PS4™ content may not be suitable for your child. Most PS4™ content is rated 

by an independent ratings body.
To ensure your child only has access to suitably rated content, just set the correct 

parental control before you first let your child play. You can set the parental 

controls in 

 (Settings) in the function screen > [Parental Controls] > [Restrict Use 

of PS4 Features] > [Application]. Use the tables below for guidance on how the 

Parental Control Setting relates to different age groups.
You can restrict access to Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD video content, and to the Internet 

Browser, from 

 (Settings) in the function screen > [Parental Controls] > [Restrict 

Use of PS4 Features]. Restricting access to the Internet Browser will not prevent 

launch of some applications that use the Internet.
Regardless of the Parental Control Settings, you should monitor your child’s activity 

on the PS4™ system. You can override the Parental Control Settings at any time to 

allow an older child or adult to play.

Welcome to the World of PlayStation

Get your PS4 up and running with this handy Quick Start Guide.

If you can't get a picture when the PS4™ system is turned on (the power indicator will 
turn   white), simply touch the   (power) button for at least 7 seconds (until the system 
beeps twice) to turn off the power, and then turn on the power again.

 

  You'll need to register the controller in some situations, such as when you use the 

controller for the first time, or when you use the controller on another PS4™ system.

 

  Once you've registered the controller, you can disconnect the USB cable and use the 

controller wirelessly.

You can change any settings that you previously skipped via 

 (Settings) in the function 

screen.
