Using remote play (via an access point)

Connect the PS3™ system to an access point using an Ethernet cable. Use the wireless networking feature of a device that supports remote play, such as a PS Vita system or a PSP™ system, to connect to the PS3™ system through the access point.

Example of a common configuration

Illustrated example of using remote play via an access point. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the PS3 system to a wireless router which will act as an access point. Use the wireless networking feature of a device that supports remote play, such as a PS Vita system, to connect to the PS3 system through the access point.

Hints

A wireless router is a device that adds access point functionality to a router. An access point is a device that allows you to connect to a network wirelessly. A router is a device used when sharing one Internet connection among multiple devices.
A modem may be equipped with router functionality. Connect the PS3™ system to a device that is equipped with router functionality.
If the access point and modem both are equipped with router functionality, turn off the router functionality of one of the devices. The PS3™ system and the device that supports remote play must be connected within the same network. If two or more routers are used at the same time, the PS3™ system and the device may be connected to separate networks and you may not be able to use remote play.

Preparing for use (PS3™ system and the device that supports remote play)

To use remote play for the first time, you must register (pair) the device that supports remote play, such as a PS Vita system or PSP™ system, with the PS3™ system. To register (pair) the device, select (Settings) > (Remote Play Settings) > [Register Device].

Preparing for use (device that supports remote play)

Create a network connection for connecting the device to an access point. If the device already has a saved network connection, you do not have to create a new one. For details on creating a network connection on the device, refer to the user's guide for the device.

Using remote play on a PS Vita system

1.	On your PS Vita system, tap (PS3 Remote Play) > [Start].

2.	On the PS3™ system, select (Network) > (Remote Play). The PS3™ system waits for the PS Vita system to establish the remote play connection.

3.	On your PS Vita system, tap [Connect via Private Network]. When the devices connect successfully, the PS3™ system's screen appears on your PS Vita system. If the Wi-Fi Settings screen appears, select the access point that is connected to the PS3™ system.

Using remote play on a PSP™ system

1.	On the PS3™ system, select (Network) > (Remote Play). The system will enter remote play connection standby mode.
2.	On the PSP™ system, select (Network) > (Remote Play).
3.	Select [Connect via Private Network].
4.	From the list of connections, select the connection for the access point to be used for remote play. If the connection is successful, the PS3™ system screen will be displayed on the PSP™ system.

Hints

Remote play can be used within range of the access point's signal.
If you enable the remote start setting on your PS3™ system, you can set your system to be turned on automatically (Wake on LAN). For details, see (Settings) > (Remote Play Settings) > [Remote Start] in this guide.
During remote play, if you go to the screen for a different application, the remote play connection is closed after 30 seconds.
