Notices
• Use only circular-shaped discs with the system. Do not use
irregularly-shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped
discs). Using irregularly-shaped discs may cause a
malfunction.
• Do not use damaged, re-shaped or repaired discs. Use of
such discs may cause a malfunction.
• When using an 8 cm disc, insert the disc in the system without
an adaptor.
• The audio CD playback feature of this system is designed to
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, some
record companies have started marketing music discs
encoded with copyright protection technologies. Some of
these music discs do not conform to the CD standard and
may not be playable on this system.
• A DualDisc is a dual-sided disc that combines a DVD side
and an audio side. Note that the audio side is not guaranteed
to play because this type of disc does not conform to the
specifications required for an audio Compact Disc (CD).
• When playing discs with content that was copied, abnormal
sounds may be produced or the content may not play
correctly.
• To enjoy continuous playback of copyright-protected BDs,
the encryption key for AACS (Advanced Access Content
System) may need to be renewed. To renew the key, you must
update the system software.
• Some discs may not be playable due to scratches, dust, the
quality of recording, or the characteristics of the recording
device.
• In rare instances, CDs, DVDs, BDs and other media may not
operate properly when played on the PS3™ system. This is
primarily due to variations in the manufacturing process or
encoding of the software.

• Analog video outputs will restrict copyright protected video to
standard definition only.

to output BD video software (BD-ROM) and BDs recorded
with copyright-protected video content.
Notes on High Definition (HD) playback of copyright
protected video from a Blu-ray Disc™
