Clear Audio Technologies

4 Clear Audio Technologies

WALKMAN has always stood for the highest quality portable audio. The WALKMAN video NWZA has four ‘Clear Audio’ technologies:

Clear Stereo: Technology keeping the two signals clearly separate. So what you should be hearing in your left ear will never ‘leak’ into the right ear.

Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE): This unique feature improves compressed audio quality restoring high frequency signals to poor recording.

Clear Bass: Gives clear, rich bass without distortion.

EX-Headphone: The unique shape of the earphones allows the biggest possible sound unit (13.5mm) whilst maintaining the most comfortable in-ear fit.


Display

Display

2" QVGA colour LCD, high resolution (320 x 240), high brightness, high contrast and superior colour reproduction display your videos at their best.

To avoid the problem sometimes experienced when viewing small screens, Sony has used its TV expertise to create a great picture. For example, using a low temperature poly-silicon TFT panel with LED backlight to reproduce 262,144 individual colours so mobile viewing does not mean compromising on quality.


Battery Life

Battery Life

Prolong your entertainment with the WALKMAN video. Fully charged you can access thirty hours worth of music playback or eight hours of video.

To fully charge the battery takes only three hours.

*Music: ATRAC 132 kbps
**Video MPEG-4 384kbps

Customer Reviews

Excellent mp3 player5
I bought one of these yesterday and I am really happy with my purchase.
The set up is easy, even for a computer Luddite like myself.
Easy to use and quality sound. I have no negative comments.
So glad I didn't join the Apple iPod brigade.

Great little player5
Very impressed. This is a great little player. Sound quality is excellent especially with the headphones supplied (I have used the extension supplied to increase the cord length of the headphones).

Easy drag and drop either from file to file or easy sync in media player... easy to navigate. Very sturdy, quality feel.

I really like that you can only edit on the computer.... so there is no worry about accidentally deleting anything off the player while it is being used.

I was originally looking at the ipod but now that Sony has opened it's doors to drag & drop/media player decided to try this walkman instead (NWZ-A818). Extremely pleased.

I found it a bit tricky to work out how to transfer video to the player but have now worked this out. You need to convert your video to MP4 (lot's of free programs can do this). I use Free Studio Manager(natty little program). You will need to convert to PSP or ipod format - make sure you set resolution to 320x240 and way to go. Then just copy and paste into your walkman video file.

My only disappointments are that there is no case included and I am finding it difficult to find compatible charging stations and speakers or they are VERY expensive.

Otherwise, a great little player...couldn't be more pleased!

Very pleased!5
Purchased an 8GB Sony Walkman a few weeks ago and it's great. No disrespect to Amazon (which is a great site) but I found it cheaper elsewhere. I had a small Sony MP3 player of only 250 and it was useless on a 14 day holiday! I've only used 4GB and I've over 1000 tracks of all types of music. It's small yet compact, VERY easy to use - thoroughly recommend it.
