Step 2: Connecting the Processor Unit
The processor unit is a small black box that comes with the PSVR 2. This unit needs to be connected to both your PlayStation console and your TV.
- Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the back of your PlayStation console, and the other end to the HDMI input on the processor unit labeled "HDMI PS4/5."
- Connect another HDMI cable from the processor unit's HDMI output labeled "HDMI TV" to your TV's HDMI input. Make sure to set your TV's input to the correct HDMI port.
- Connect the AC adapter to the processor unit and plug it into an outlet.
Step 3: Setting Up the PSVR 2 Headset
Now it's time to set up the headset itself. Follow these steps:
- Remove the protective film from the lenses.
- Unwrap the headset cable and plug it into the front of the headset.

Step 5: Calibration and Adjustment
Before you start playing games, you'll need to calibrate your PSVR 2. This involves adjusting the camera position and ensuring that the headset is properly aligned.
- Place the camera on top of your TV, and adjust its angle so that it's pointed directly at you.
- Sit about 6-8 feet away from the camera and make sure there are no obstructions between you and the camera.
