Connecting your device to USB accessories

You can use a USB Host adapter to connect your device to USB accessories such as

USB mass storage devices, game controllers, USB keyboards and USB mice. If the

USB accessory has a micro USB connector, a USB Host adapter is not necessary.

USB Host adapters are sold separately. Sony does not guarantee that all USB accessories are

supported by your device.

USB accessory.

Additional steps or software may be required to set up game controllers, USB audio and USB

Ethernet accessories. Sony does not guarantee that all USB accessories are supported by
