Where do I find product manuals, specifications, firmware/software updates or drivers on Sony's support website?
Learn how to use Sony's support website to find your product page, manuals, firmware/software updates or drivers, as well as product specifications. The best way to find information about your product is to first reach your model's product page before searching for keywords.
1. Find your Product Page
The product page is always the best place to start. The search bar on the product page is narrowed down to your product only, which helps you find the most relevant results.
- Find out what your model name is. If you're unsure, please visit Where to find the model name and serial number?.
- Type your model name (e.g., KD-43X89J or WH-1000XM5) in the search bar on Sony's support website, then click the Search button.
- You can also click on your product name using the predictive search feature.
- Make sure you type your model name correctly, including the hyphen (-), if applicable. The predictive search feature will help you type the model correctly.
2. Manuals and Help Guides (PDF)
Once you're on your product page, you'll find your product's Manual and Help Guide under the Manuals tab.
- Most products offer an extensive Help Guide, which you can access via the product page. The online Help Guide has a convenient search function that will help you find information in the guide quickly.
- Downloadable PDF Manuals (Operating Instructions/Reference Guide/Startup Guide) on the other hand, are a great place to start when uncertain about procedures (e.g., how to reset your device) or settings. These PDF manuals can be downloaded or printed for offline use. Use the CTRL + F function while using a PDF File viewer to search for specific keywords. You can also click on menu anchors in some cases.
