(*) Important recommendations for the PS4™ system (applicable only if
using a Thrustmaster racing wheel featuring a built-in shifter connector)
- When using the TH8A shifter's SEQUENTIAL (+/-) shift plate, you can also connect the
shifter at the back of the racing wheel using the detachable DIN / DIN cable. The TH8A shifter
is then connected to the racing wheel's UP (= R1) and DOWN (= L1) paddle shifters.
With this racing wheel, the TH8A shifter's SEQUENTIAL (+ /-) shift plate functions with 100% of
racing games for PS4™ that are compatible with the racing wheel.
- Some games enable you to use two TH8A shifters simultaneously:
One TH8A shifter with an H-PATTERN (7+1) shift plate, connected to the PS4's USB port™
+ One TH8A shifter with a SEQUENTIAL (+/-) shift plate, connected to the back of the racing wheel
* A list of games for PS4™ that are compatible with the TH8A shifter and the relevant
connection instructions(*) (which vary according to games) are available here:
http://support.thrustmaster.com (in the Racing Wheels / TH8A Shifter / Games settings

section). This list is updated regularly.

* On PS4™ systems, we recommend that you do not use a USB hub when connecting

the racing wheel or the TH8A shifter; connect the device directly to the PS4™'s USB

ports.

* Some games require that you install the latest available updates for the TH8A shifter

to function correctly (your games console must be connected to the internet).
