Don’t ruthlessly unbox your PlayStation 4 in the thrill. The box is a compulsory part in the setting up so doesn’t tear it into pieces nor take the dangerous step like throwing it away. The box is a pre-designed carrying package for the PS console. It means that whenever you have to take your PlayStation somewhere, the box will work as a travelling case.


Attach Console To TV

The HDMI cable would be included in the complete PS package. Attach one part with your TV and the other part with the PS4 HDMI Out port. After connecting both PS4 and TV, connect the console to the satellite or cable box. It is necessary that there would be a HDMI cable prior to your setting, which would be connecting cable box to the TV.

Unplug the existing cable from the TV and plug the spare one to your console. The connection would directly be made where console’s “HDMI IN” port is present. After the connection between TV and console, and console and cable box is done plug the PS4 unit to a power source and adjust the batteries into a controller.

Switch on the TV and search the input that you used for your PS4.


Internet Connection For Unlimited Gaming Experience!

If you want to enjoy games like you have never before, than internet connection is necessary. Hardwiring your internet router or modem to the PS4 will suffice. To complete the internet connection between both devices you need an Ethernet cable. Keep in mind that cable is not the part of the PS4 package and you would have to use yours or buy a new one.

Connect one end of the cable to the LAN port to the PlayStation4 and the other end to a router or modem. If your internet connection to the PS4 is wireless, than follow all the commands and steps which are coming one after another on your screen.


Match Your Controllers

As soon as the connection with TV is done and the internet connection is fixed, you have to pair the controller with the PS4 console. A Micro USB console will come along with the PlayStation 4 package, use that to connect and press the “PS” button on the controller. That’s all your controllers are paired and that is the most vigorous and savoring duo you would have ever used.


Setup Your Account

An account is necessary in order to keep count of all the in-app or game purchases you would do with their PS4. The setup procedure includes creating a PlayStation Network account, including your username, birth date and password, primarily. A password should be strong so that no one can hack your account.

The created account will store all the records of your purchases, so if you cannot get back to your account you would be in serious trouble. For safekeeping, write your password in some secret place so that if you forget you have another option to look upon. If you used any previous model of PlayStation and have already made your account, you can use that login details and information in the new PS4 too.


Download Apps, Install Updates and Bingo!
