LAS VEGAS (CES Booth # 14200), Jan. 7, 2009 – Today at the Consumer Electronics show, Sony unveiled its latest Walkman® MP3 players. They include the W-series Walkman® MP3 player NWZ-W202, featuring a cord-free, wearable design, and the X-series Walkman® Video MP3 player NWZ-X1000 models that not only support Wi-Fi technology – but for the first time – features both an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) touch screen and digital noise cancellation capability.
“Each new Walkman series has different points of appeal that integrate Sony’s latest technologies and engineering prowess,” said Andrew Sivori, director for Walkman players in the Audio Products Division at Sony Electronics. “These devices provide a unique audio experience that satisfies consumers who demand innovation, performance and convenience from their digital music player without sacrificing the sound quality.”
X-Series Walkman Video MP3 Player
The new X-Series Walkman Video MP3 player focuses on enhancing audio/video playback with hardware that enables best of breed performance and an amazing portable experience.
Incorporating a wide 3-inch OLED touch screen, the display delivers a picture with extremely high contrast, exceptional color reproduction and a rapid response time. Usability is also enhanced with this model as the device utilizes both touch panel operation and a hybrid button system to improve upon the navigation experience.
Along with the superb video experience, the X-series Walkman Video MP3 player delivers incredible sound quality utilizing Sony’s Digital Clear Audio Technologies: Digital Amplifier ”S-Master,” Digital Noise Canceling and Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE). These digital clear audio technologies fill in the high tones that can be lost during file compression, enhance the bass, minimize distortion and maintain a consistent channel signal.
Digital Noise-Canceling Arrives
To further enhance the listening experience, Sony’s X-series Walkman® Video MP3 players are the industry’s first to offer digital noise canceling technology. Having this feature integrated into the device allows for amazing audio fidelity via the accompanying 13.5 mm EX headphones. The video MP3 player uses a unique digital noise canceling (DNC) software engine to block out ambient noise, while providing a high-quality audio experience. The headphones deliver premium noise cancellation, along with balanced and rich sound.
Sony’s DNC software engine makes it possible for the digital noise canceling device to work most effectively on an airplane, which uses a different filter in the digital signal processor specifically tuned for this environment. Travelers can turn on the noise canceling feature and get peace and quiet even without listening to music.
Prime Connectivity
Utilizing built-in Wi-Fi technology, the X-series Walkman Video MP3 players let you access an Internet web browser and such other features as direct podcast downloads, YouTube™ streaming, and a “Related Links” function for a quick search of content via YouTube™ using the name of the song, artist or album.
Marking Sony’s first Walkman product with Wi-Fi integration, the X-series Walkman Video MP3 player is a smart device for consumers who want to stay connected at all times.
Pricing and Availability
The X-series Walkman video MP3 players will be available in early summer and will come in two different storage capacities in black:
* The NWZ- X1051 has about 16GB of internal storage and suggested cost is still to be determined.
* The NWZ- X1061 has about 32GB of internal storage and the recommended price is still to be determined.
