To connect your SONY PS4 CUH-2208A to a TV, please follow these steps. Make all connections before plugging the AC power cord into an electricity supply.

1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT port on the rear of the PS4 system.

2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input port on your TV.

3. Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN connector on the rear of the PS4 system.

4. Plug the AC power cord into an electricity supply.

Note: You can transfer saved data from your current PlayStation®4 system to your new PS4™ system. It is recommended to complete the data transfer during the initial set up process for your new system. If you do it later, any saved data on the new system will be lost.

For a more stable network connection, it is recommended to use a LAN cable (sold separately). To do this, connect a LAN cable from the LAN port on the rear of your SONY PS4 CUH-2208A to your router.

If you prefer to use a wireless connection (Wi-Fi), do not connect a LAN cable.

1. Turn on your TV and set the input to HDMI.

2. Turn on your SONY PS4 CUH-2208A system by pressing the (power) button. The power indicator will blink blue, and then turn white.

If your TV does not display a picture when the power indicator turns white, restart your system. Press the (power) button for at least 7 seconds to turn off your system, and then turn it on again.

Connect your DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller to your system using the USB cable, and then press the (PS) button. Your controller will then pair with your system and turn on.

Important points regarding controller usage:

• You’ll need to pair a controller when you use it for the first time and when you use your controller on another PS4™ system. If you want to use two or more controllers, you must pair each controller.

• After you’ve paired your controller, you can disconnect the USB cable and use your controller wirelessly.

• It’s possible to use up to four controllers at the same time. When you press the (PS) button, the light bar glows in your assigned colour. The first controller to connect is blue, with subsequent controllers glowing red, green, and pink.

After turning on the console and controller, follow the on-screen instructions to set up an Internet connection, set the date and time, and configure other settings. Then select [Start Now] from the setup screen. After you set up your Internet connection, a system software update may automatically download. Future updates will improve performance and add new features.

To later change any settings that you skipped, select (Settings) from the function screen.
