Notes on safety when using the analog controller
(DUALSHOCK

®

2)*

• Stop using the console immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience

discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the analog controller
(DUALSHOCK

®

The Sony Playstation 2 Slimline was released in September, 2004, in time for the launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Production of the old models (SCPH-3XXXX) stopped as soon as the smaller, thinner, quieter replacement hit the shelves (SCPH-7XXXX).

2). If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

• The vibration function of the analog controller (DUALSHOCK

®

2) can aggravate

injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the
bones, joints or muscles of your hands or arms. Note that some PlayStation

®

2 and

PlayStation

®

format software titles set the vibration function to 'On' by default. In

most cases, the vibration function can be set to 'Off' in the options menu of the
software. If you have an ailment or an injury, do not play such titles using the
analog controller (DUALSHOCK

®

2) unless you have set the vibration function to

'Off'.

• Avoid prolonged use of the analog controller (DUALSHOCK

®

about 30-minute intervals.

* These notes also apply to other controllers.

Network (except Local Area Networks)

• A broadband Internet connection is required to connect to a network.
• When you connect your PlayStation

®

2 console to a network, the Internet service

provider may charge additional usage fees. For details, refer to the information
provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.

• Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online gaming to ensure safe and

responsible Internet usage.

Cable compatibility

Do not connect cables or telephone cords of the following types to the network
connector:
• Cables not appropriate for use with a 10Base-T/100Base-TX network
• Standard residential telephone lines
• Any ISDN (digital) compatible phone or data line
• PBX phone lines
• Other 'unknown' types of telephone lines
If you connect the wrong type of cable, too much electrical current may pass through
the connector, causing a malfunction, excessive heat or fire in the connector.

Disc handling

• Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on discs.
• Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce

sound quality. Always handle carefully and make sure discs are clean before use.

• Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight or in high humidity.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outwards.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially available cleaners not intended
for CDs or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not use irregularly shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped discs) or

damaged, reshaped or repaired discs.

Never disassemble the console or supplied accessories

Use the PlayStation

®

2 console and accessories according to the instructions in the

product documentation. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the
console, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. There are
no user serviceable components inside the PlayStation

®

2 console. Disassembling the

console will void the warranty. Additionally, there is a risk of exposure to laser
radiation as well as to electrical shock hazards.

When connecting the console to a plasma or projection* TV

Do not leave a still image on the TV screen for an extended period of time, as this
may leave a faint image permanently on the screen.

* Except LCD screen types

Note on safety when playing DVDs or CDs

If you set the volume too high, it may harm your hearing or damage the speakers.
Exercise care when setting the volume.

Moisture condensation

If the console or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the
console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and turn off and
unplug the console. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this
may take several hours). If the console still does not operate properly, contact SCEA

There were many revisions of the PlayStation 2 (PS2) in its history from 2000 to 2013, some only of internal construction and others involving substantial external changes. These are colloquially known among PS2 hardware hackers as V0, V1, V2, ..., V18.^[1] Each region receives a different model number; for example, the V18 was released in North America as SCPH-90001, in Australia as SCPH-90002, and in Hong Kong as SCPH-90006. The final digit is a region code with no bearing on the hardware; many games and DVDs are restricted to certain regions, and the system software displays in different languages.

The PS2 is primarily differentiated between models with the original 'fat' case design and 'slimline' models introduced at the end of 2004. In 2010, a television incorporating a PS2 was introduced.^[2]

Original case design[edit]

Three of the original PS2 launch models (SCPH-10000, SCPH-15000, and SCPH-18000) were only sold in Japan and lacked the expansion bay of later PS2 models. These models instead included a PCMCIA slot. SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 did not have built-in DVD movie playback and instead relied on encrypted playback software that was copied to a memory card from an included CD-ROM (normally, the PS2 will only execute encrypted software from its memory card; see PS2 Independence Exploit). V3 had a substantially different internal structure from the subsequent revisions, featuring several interconnected printed circuit boards. In V4, everything except the power supply was unified onto one board. V5 introduced minor internal changes, and the only difference between V6 (sometimes called V5.1) and V5 is the orientation of the Power/Reset switch board connector, which was reversed to prevent the use of no-solder modchips. V5 also introduced a more reliable laser than the ones used in previous models. V7 and V8 included only minor revisions to V6.

There was also the SCPH-30001, 50001, and 90001 models

Beginning with model SCPH-500xx, the i.LINK port was removed. An infrared receiver was added for use with a remote to control DVD playback, leaving both controller ports free from the external receiver.

The PS2 standard color is matte black. Several different variations in color were produced in different quantities and regions, including ceramic white, light yellow, metallic blue (aqua), metallic silver, navy (star blue), opaque blue (astral blue), opaque black (midnight black), pearl white, Sakura purple, satin gold, satin silver, snow white, super red, transparent blue (ocean blue), and also Limited Edition color Pink, which was distributed in regions including Oceania and parts of Asia.^[3][4][5]

The small PlayStation logo on the front of the disc tray could be rotated 90 degrees, in order for the logo to be the right way up in both vertical and horizontal console orientations. This feature is also used on slimline consoles and the PlayStation 3.

Slimline case designs[edit]

In September 2004, Sony unveiled its third major hardware revision (V12, model number SCPH-700xx). Available in late October 2004, it is smaller, thinner, and quieter than the older versions and includes a built-in Ethernet port (in some markets it also has an integrated modem). Due to its thinner profile, it does not contain the 3.5' expansion bay and therefore does not support the internal hard disk drive. It also lacks an internal power supply, similar to the GameCube, and has a modified Multitap expansion. The removal of the expansion bay has been criticized as a limitation due to the existence of titles such as Final Fantasy XI, which require the use of the HDD.

The official PS2 Linux also requires an expansion bay to function. Currently^[when?] only the modified Multitap is sold in stores; however, these are also compatible with the older versions, and also added support for multiple memory cards on some games. Third-party connectors can be soldered into the unit giving hard drive support due to still containing some of the necessary I/O controllers and firmware, but the process is involved, requiring the user to solder 39 IDE pinouts directly to the board.^[6][7] Two special aftermarket kit were created to make this mod easier for the consumer. The first was the HD Connect which was simply a board that sat attached to the back of the console, with communication wires taped to the PS2 through its air vents and drive power through one of its 5 V USB headers. The second, more expensive option, was the HD Combo: it included a replacement case with room for a hard drive. Certain modchips enable the use of a USB hard drive or other mass storage device.

There are two sub-versions of the SCPH-700xx,^{[citation needed]} one with the old Emotion Engine (EE) and Graphics Synthesizer (GS) chips, and the other with the newer unified EE+GS chip, but otherwise are identical. The sub-versions are variously referred to as V12 for both models, V11.5 for the older and V12 for the newer model, and V12 for the older and V13 for the newer model.^{[citation needed]} The V12 model was first released in black, but a silver edition was available in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, United Arab Emirates and other GCC countries, France, Italy, South Africa, and North America. A limited edition pink console also became available after March 2007.

V12 (or V13) was succeeded by V14 (SCPH-7500x), which contains different ASICs than previous revisions, with some chips having a copyright date of 2005, compared to 2000 or 2001 for earlier models. It also has a different lens and some compatibility issues with a different number of PlayStation games and even some PS2 games.^[8] An addon to add HDD support to newer 7500x and onward models called the HDPro was created but had limited success.

In the beginning of 2005, it was found that some black slimline console power transformers manufactured between August and December 2004 were defective and could overheat. The units were recalled by Sony and replaced by a 2005 model.^[9]

Playstation 2 Scph-50004 Manual

Later hardware revisions had better compatibility with PlayStation games (Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions operates on most silver models); however, the new Japanese slim models have more issues with playing PlayStation games than the first PS2 revisions.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, Sony released new hardware revisions (V15, model numbers SCPH-7700x_a and SCPH-7700x_b). V15 was first released in Japan on September 15, 2006, including the Silver edition. After its release in Japan, it was then released in North America, Europe and other parts of the world. The new revision uses an integrated, unified EE+GS chip, a redesigned ASIC, a different laser lens, an updated BIOS, and updated drivers.^{[citation needed]}

In July 2007, Sony started shipping a revision of the slimline PlayStation 2 (SCPH-7900x) featuring a reduced weight of 600 grams compared to 900 g of the SCPH-7700x, achieved through a reduction in parts. The unit also uses a smaller motherboard as well as a custom ASIC which houses the EE, GS, and the RDRAM. The AC adaptor's weight was reduced to 250 g from the previous 350 g.^[10]

Another refinement of the slimline PlayStation 2 (SCPH-9000x) was released in Japan on November 22, 2007.^[11] As well as some cosmetic changes, the design of the hardware was overhauled, incorporating the power supply into the console itself like the original (fat) PlayStation 2 revisions; this also increases the total weight to 720 grams (25 oz). On SCPH-9000x series consoles manufactured after the third quarter of 2008 as the last revision of the PlayStation 2, some changes were made (indicated by date code 8C) to incorporate a revised BIOS, which disables an exploit present in all older models that allowed homebrew applications to be launched from a memory card.^{[citation needed]}

PSX[edit]

Playstation 2 Scph-50004 User Manual 2016

Sony also manufactured a consumer device called the PSX that can be used as a digital video recorder and DVD burner in addition to playing PS2 games. The device was released in Japan on December 13, 2003, and was the first Sony product to include the XrossMediaBar interface. It did not sell well in Japan, and was not released anywhere else.

Playstation 2 Scph-50004 User Manual Instructions

The PSX featured one USB port, a Memory Stick card reader and two PlayStation 2 Memory Card slots.^[12]

Sony BRAVIA KDL22PX300[edit]

Released in 2010, the Sony BRAVIA KDL22PX300 is a 22-inch (56 cm) 720p television that incorporates a PlayStation 2 console and four HDMI ports. The 720p TV also includes BRAVIA Internet Video Access, allowing users access to streaming services such as YouTube and on-demand television, but only released in Europe. Although the maximum resolution is 720p/1366×768, 1080p input sources can be used and displayed.^[2]
