[Model is PCG-GRV670P]

... Searching model + 'site:sony.com' brings you to Sony's support page:

    http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?PRODTYPE=24&NAVDISP=pc

...there's a link for manuals, after plugging in the model, though this
seems to be a no-op.

I'll repeat my earlier comment:  based on this experience, I'd avoid
Sony products.


Peace.

 What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
    The black hat community is drooling over the possibility of a secure
    execution environment that would allow applications to run in a
    secure area which cannot be attached to via debuggers.
