Where PlayStation puts the model number

Product typeWhere to look
Game ConsolesConsoles print the model on a label on the back or bottom. The system settings also list it.

Getting the official PlayStation manual

PlayStation publishes product documentation on playstation.com. Search there with the full model number from the label, then look for a documents, manuals or downloads section on the product page.

If your model isn't listed, try removing the last few characters, which usually only indicate color or region. For discontinued models, look for an archive or legacy products section, or contact PlayStation support directly.
