1. Find out what your model name is. If you're unsure, please visit Where to find the model name and serial number?.
2. 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. How to find and use manuals and Help Guides (online & PDF)

Once you're on your product page, you'll find your product's Manual and Help Guide under the Manuals tab. They're a great place to start when you want to know more about procedures, settings and problem-solving. (e.g. how to reset your device).

• Most products offer an extensive Help Guide, which you can access via the product page.
• The online Help Guide has a convenient search bar that will help you find information in the guide quickly. Insert keywords related to your topic: reset, pairing, settings, etc., to find relevant information. 
• In most instances, you can download the online Help Guide as a PDF file.  
• Alternatively, there are downloadable PDF Manuals (Operating Instructions/Reference Guide/Startup Guide). These PDF manuals can be downloaded or printed for offline use. 
• Press CTRL + F on your keyboard to activate the PDF search, which allows you to look for keywords.  In some cases, you can click on the index menu to fast-travel to that section. 

3. How to find Firmware/Software update/Drivers

If you click a download, you will access the download page. You will find your download file, as well as the applicable models, system requirements as well as a brief explanation of how to perform the installation. 

You can get notifications about future firmware releases by downloading and bookmarking your product in the Support By Sony mobile app.
