In Depth Guide to Setting Up the PlayStation 4 Pro

Hi, this video shows you an in depth guide to setting up the PS4 Pro Console. It is aimed at beginners who have never set up a games console before or maybe those that haven't set one up in the past 10-15 years.
The video shows you an unboxing, how to connect the cables, how to connect up the internet, how to backup your game data, how to setup HDR on the TV and check that you are getting 4k output, how to play a game, parental controls and other settings.
Many thanks Vince.

As a mom of 5 players, who had never touched a PS 4 before this is the best set up step by step video ever! I set up and surprised my kids with the console!

Thank you Vince for this great introduction to the Sony PS4 Pro and the setup. I had a Slim that died and decided to go with the Pro as they are being discontinued now...01/2021. I can not imagine why anyone would give this video a thumbs down but you are dealing with "the public" and the rest of us know they are nuts. 😂😂😂 Cheers from SE Asia and Central Thailand.

Wow, I am 74 yrs and your video helped me, I am sure I can set it up myself. Well done! Thank you.

[@clintzieandromeda6216]

Seeing you guiding everyone how to use the PS4 pro is awesome. I remember I set my own but mine is the slim, I miss that day. I hope your console is still in great condition and have fun gaming.

[@damienduckett6905]

Thank you for this. Don't normally comment on youtube vids (this might be my first time), but I have a PS4 Pro arriving tomorrow (only my second ever gaming console, my first being the original Nintendo) and I really appreciated the walkthrough. Pre-emptively set up my PSN account today. This really was excellent. Dallas, TX here but have a fascination with all things British, so maybe that's partly why your video was recommended. Thanks again.

[@deans6571]

I was considering buying an Xbox One S (already have the standard Xbox One and have been with Xbox since the original Xbox) but when looking at all the games that are out now, I realised there wasn’t actually anything I was interested in. There are quite a number on PlayStation though that I want to play (Uncharted 4, The Last Of Us and a few more)so now I am seriously considering switching to Sony in order to play these games. Was looking at the PS4 slim however, it would probably make more sense to go for the PS4 Pro. 👍🏼

[@FatalPhenom]

I have always been with xbox since the original. I had playstations too up until the ps4 and i felt the exact opposite about playstations games. Theres maybe 1 ps4 exclusive i might want to play other than that theres absolutely no reason to get a playstation. When the standard ps4 and xb1 launched i chose xbox over ps4 and never regretted it or looked back since. I love my xbox and it gets many hours of use each night. Most games i play are xbox titles or realeased on all platforms. Ps4 is a nice console but if i get another console itll definitely be xb1x

Hi mate u would be able to use hdr on the other ports as well they are greyed out because the console isn't plugged into them I have the Samsung q80t and can only choose hdr on the port mines plugged into its greyed on the others but if I unpluggeband try another port it lets me choose that

[@RGambler1]

I just bought a PS4 Pro but have not yet done a set-up on it, but will be doing so. Right now I have a medium speed server, and soon will be changing my internet server over to a faster fiber optic service. On the set-up I am required to put in the current internet information that I am now using. When I change over to the faster fiber optic service at a later date, does the PS4 Pro allow me to go back and change that internet information that I put in during the earlier set-up ?
