Camera configuration

1. Place the PS Camera about 1.4m (4’7”) high and about 2m (6’) away from where you will be sitting or standing.
2. Your TV will show an image of what the PS Camera can see. Angle it to make sure it’s not picking up the surface it’s on.
3. Position yourself where you will be playing VR, in the centre of the screen while you’re holding your DualShock 4 controller (DS4), PlayStation Aim, or PS Move controllers. This is important to make sure the PS Camera can place controllers in the right spot in the VR environment.
4. If you and the controllers were not in the centre of the screen when you hit ‘Continue’ or if more than one person was in the Play Area, you may need to repeat step 3.
5. If you’re still having problems adjusting the camera this could be because the room lighting is too bright. Find out how to set up your room for the best experience and try again.

To reconfigure the PS Camera go to [Settings] > [Devices] > [PlayStation VR] > [Adjust PS Camera] on your PS4.

Headset configuration

1. Switch the headset on using the power button (J) on the underside of the headset scope.
2. If you are using the stereo in-ear headphones, plug them into the stereo headphone jack (H) and connect the headphone attachment to the headphone attachment hole (I).
3. Remove the plastic lens protectors before putting the headset on for the first time.
4. Hold the headset by the top of the headband (A), press the headband release button (E) and pull the front section forward.
5. Place the headset on your head and release the headband release button.
6. Tighten the headband using the adjustment dial (D) just enough to stop movement, but not so far that it feels too tight.
7. Adjust the scope position by carefully holding it around the edges and wiggling it until it’s comfortable and the image is as clear as possible.
8. You can now put in your stereo headphones. If you are using over-ear headphones with a headband, put them on (making sure that left and right go on the correct ears) and plug them into the stereo headphone jack (H). You can adjust the volume using the buttons (N & P) on the underside of the headset scope. Please note that Bluetooth earbuds and headphones are not compatible with PS VR – you must use wired earbuds or headphones.
9. To remove the headset, press the headband release button (E) and re-extend the head band (A).
10. Lift the headset by the head band.

You can wear the VR headset over your glasses but take care when adjusting the scope.  Having your glasses touch the lens could result in damage to your glasses, VR headset lens or both. Do not push in or pull out the scope excessively.

Wearing glasses with PS VR

If you notice that PS VR environments are unclear or fuzzy while you’re wearing your glasses, try taking them off and readjust the scope position before you start play. Try playing with and without your glasses to find out what works best for you.
