Instructions
Connect the audio-video cables that come with the console for the standard signal. The yellow, white and red cables insert into the same-colored ports on your television, while the other end connects to the AV multi-out connector on the back of your PlayStation 3. For a better picture purchase an HDMI cable and insert it into the appropriate ports on the console and TV.
Insert the AC power cord into the connector on the back of the console. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
Turn on your television and your PlayStation 3.
Use the supplied USB cable to connect your wireless controller to the console by inserting the cable into the USB ports on each.
Press the "PS" button on the controller to sync the device with the console. Follow the instructions on your TV screen to complete the initial software setup.
