Product type	Where to look
TVs & Home Theater	The sticker is on the back panel of the TV, often near the ports. Most smart TVs also show the model code in the settings menu under Support or About, which is easier than pulling a mounted TV off the wall.
Headphones & Speakers	Earbuds print a small model code inside the charging case lid or on the stem. Headphones use the inside of the headband.
Cameras & Drones	Look on the underside near the tripod socket. Drones print it under the battery bay or on the body.
Game Consoles	Consoles print the model on a label on the back or bottom. The system settings also list it.

Getting the official Sony manual

Sony publishes product documentation on sony.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 Sony support directly.
