 Sony has expanded its WALKMAN family of digital media players with the easy-to-use NWZ-A820 series of WALKMAN Video MP3 players. It’s packed with advanced WALKMAN features, such as extra-long battery life, a large 2.4-inch screen and quick connection by Bluetooth stereo.
The NWZ-A820 series is offered in a choice of four colour variations (black, silver, gold, and pink). Three storage sizes are also available. The NWZ-A829 (16GB) can store around 62 hours of video or 3,800 songs (depends on bit-rate).
The NWZ-A828 (8GB) boosts this to 30 hours 40 mins of video/audio or 1,850 songs. The NWZ-A826 (4GB) can store up to 15 hours of video or 925 songs.
Generous battery life allows up to 10 hours of video playback or 36 hours of uninterrupted music playback. Even with Bluetooth stereo enabled, playback is supposed to stretch to 7 hours of video or 15 hours of music.
The clear, bright 2.4-inch QVGA screen on all models supports super-smooth video playback at up to 30 frames per second.
For extra flexibility, videos and photos can be viewed in any screen orientation (left, vertical, right) to suit personal tastes. Photo collections can also be viewed as slideshows accompanied by your chosen music track.
Superior sound of WALKMAN is assured by four ‘Clear Audio’ Technologies.
The supplied 13.5mm EX headphones feature extra-large driver units for dynamic playback with extended frequency response and solid, powerful bass.
The Sony-developed Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) restores high frequencies that are degraded by audio compression for more natural sound that’s closer to the original source.
Clear Stereo prevents audio signals from leaking between left and right channels, resulting in a cleaner, more widely separated stereo soundstage.
Furthermore, Clear Bass strengthens low frequency reproduction without adding distortion that conventional equalizers can impose on the signal.
Even richer audio is provided by a choice of effect settings including a 5-Band Equalizer, VPT Acoustic Engine and Dynamic Normalizer.
The WALKMAN NWZ-A820 series [NWZ-A826 (4GB), NWZ-A828 (8GB) and NWZ-A829 (16GB)] are available from April 2008.
It is available to pre-order now at www.sonystyle-europe.com.
