  3. Connect the power cord to the In port located on the lower left of the back of your PS4, and plug the other end into your desired power outlet.
  4. Turn on the PlayStation 4 by touching the power button on the front of the system.
  5. Turn on your TV. Make sure the TV is set to display the input the PS4 is using.
